10 Homemade Face Masks
Use Honey, Turmeric and Yogurt for Exfoliation
Directions: Wash face with hot water. Pat dry, then mix one part honey, one part turmeric, and one part yogurt into a smooth paste. Then spread the mixture across the face. Leave the mask on for 10 minutes then rinse with a little water. Turmeric can stain the skin a shade of yellow, so don’t leave the mask on for longer than 10 minutes.
The perfect mask is one that leaves your skin feeling nourished and refreshed, but also detoxified. Beauty mixologists love honey for its healing properties; turmeric provides anti-inflammatory benefits while yogurt helps slough away dead cells to prevent clogged pores from becoming blackheads or acne breakouts!
Yogurt is a great way to get an instant glow. The calcium in yogurt helps remove dead skin cells, which leaves your face looking and feeling smooth! It can also prevent premature aging because of its high levels of alpha hydroxy acid (which does wonders for clearing up acne-prone skin). Not only that but it also moisturizes well while preventing sun damage from occurring in addition with fighting off premature aging signs such as age spots.
Honey is a natural beauty product that can leave you with radiant skin and free from wrinkles. It has been known to have antimicrobial properties, which cleanse away any unwanted bacteria on the surface of our bodies while leaving us with healthy pores for longer periods.
Turmeric has been shown time and again as being able to reduce dark circles, discoloration due acne or scarring with its antimicrobial properties that fight off inflammation too!
Use Cucumber and Avocado for Oily Skin
Directions: Blend one quarter of a cucumber and mash half of an avocado. Mix together and apply to the face, including the areas around the eye area. Let sit for ten minutes, then remove with lukewarm water.
We all know the problems that a slick, oily face can cause with clogged pores and acne. The avocado cucumber mask is one of the most effective ways to treat oily skin. The healthy fats in Avocados are rich in nutrients that can deeply hydrate your face while also reducing inflammation, leaving it smooth and glowing!
Cucumber is a natural astringent, so it’s great for tightening and toning skin. It’s also a good source of antioxidants, which help to protect skin from free radicals that can cause damage. Finally, cucumbers are high in water content, so they help to hydrate and refresh skin.
Milk, Oatmeal and Cinnamon to be used for Anti-aging, Inflammation, Irritation, Skin Conditions and Dryness
Directions: Blend 1 tablespoon of oats, 2 tablespoons of milk, mix ingredients, then add a dash of cinnamon. Spread across the face and let sit for 20 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water. Pat dry and enjoy.
Give your skin the treatment it deserves with this amazing mask made of three ingredients that are perfect for anyone who has sensitive skin. Oats, milk and cinnamon all possess properties similar to those found in stronger chemical masks but without any irritation or discomfort.
Milk contains lactic acid, which is a natural exfoliant, helping to rid your skin of dead cells and promote new ones. It also firms up the appearance of fine lines to give you that youthful complexion!
Milk is also an anti-inflammatory, so it can help calm any irritation or redness. Finally, milk contains alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which are a type of chemical peel that helps improve skin texture and uneven skin tones.
Oatmeal is a natural humectant, meaning it helps to lock in moisture. Additionally, oatmeal can help to absorb excess oil and seal in moisture, making it an ideal ingredient for a face mask!
Oats are also rich in vitamins and minerals like zinc and selenium, which are important for healthy skin. And finally, oats contain powerful antioxidants that can help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
Cinnamon is the perfect way to get rid of dirt, oil and bacteria. It also helps reduce signs from aging while promoting new cell growth!
Olive Oil and Almonds Used For: Congested Skin, Acne Scars
Directions: Apply a mild face wash, rinse, pat dry with towel. Mix a handful of ground almonds with 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small bowl and spread across the face. After 7 minutes gently massage the skin in a circular motion to remove any dead skin cells, then wait for 3 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water. Pat dry with a towel. This mask is best when used 2-3 times per week to maintain a healthy glow and replenish nutrients depleted by natural skin damage and aging.
Your skin is your body’s first line of defense against the world. It protects you from pollution, dust and dirt while also providing a barrier that prevents germs in other parts on our bodies.
But what happens when this layer becomes damaged? We see inflammation which can lead to further cell death along with dull skin due not only natural aging but stress too! Olive oil & almonds are a perfect way to replenish nutrients needed by skin cells so they produce a beautiful natural glow again.
Almonds are not only a great source of vitamin E, but they also contain antioxidants which fight off the free radicals caused by aging. These vitamins heal any damage we take on throughout our lives and help prevent it from getting worse!

Green Tea and Honey For: Inflammation, Cleansing, Anti-aging
Directions: Brew a nice cup of green tea, using 8 oz. of water. Either dispose of the water or enjoy while waiting for the tea bag to dry out slightly. Cut open the tea bag and add a teaspoon of honey. Mix into a fine paste and apply to clean skin. Let the mixture sit for about half an hour before removing. Use a light face wash and moisturizer after as needed.
The variations of the honey mask are as vast and diverse as they come. For those with sensitive skin, this might be a better option than other stronger ingredients found in traditional turmeric or yogurt based masks.

Honey is the perfect natural remedy for clogged pores. It cuts through oil and dirt, reducing inflammation to allow your skin’s pores close up!
The protein in egg whites is an incredible cleanser for your skin, reducing acne-causing bacteria and acting as a natural astringent to balance out the pH level.
Cinnamon not only has a delicious smell, but it also helps to keep your skin clean and healthy by boosting the abilities of other ingredients.
For Dry Skin and Anti-Aging Try Coconut Oil, Bananas, and Lemon Juice
Directions: Use an exfoliating scrub to wash away any dead skin cells and ensure that the skin is clean enough to absorb the nutrients. Mash ingredients in a bowl to form a paste. Add a few drops of warm water. Apply to dry skin and let sit for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with cold water. Pat dry with a towel.
Hot, dry heat is the absolute worst for your skin. It will lead to an increase in oil loss and clogging pores.
The magic of coconut oil is that it not only locks in all the hydration we need to keep our skin cells healthy, young and vibrant but also has a toning effect on mature or dry patches.
The banana is a hidden treasure trove of vitamins and minerals that will leave your skin glowing. It contains potassium, vitamin C which helps protect the body’s natural elasticity from damage caused by exposure to environmental factors such as pollution or UV rays.
The beauty of the lemon is not only in its juice, but also on your skin. The acidic pH balances out any excess oil or moisturizing properties that may be too rich for some people’s sensitive types; and it has antimicrobial agents which leave you feeling refreshed after use!
Lemon, Tomato and Honey For Discoloration and Blemishes
Directions: Combine one tablespoon of honey and the juice from half a lemon with one teaspoon of tomato pulp. Apply to the face and leave on for ten minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water and apply a vitamin E moisturizer to counteract the acidic effects of the lemon. Repeat twice weekly or until the blemishes and discoloration fade.
We all know that our T-zone can be a bit more challenging to manage than other parts of the face.

This mask helps to cut through the oil, prevent pimples and lighten discolorations.
Lemon is a powerful bleaching agent that can lighten your skin, reduce inflammation and remove oil. It’s best used in small amounts due to its acidity but when combined with other ingredients it becomes an even more effective treatment for various skin care needs!

This mask is a potent mixture of ingredients that address the root cause for acne without damaging your skin. It includes bananas, turmeric and baking soda so you can get rid of those pesky blemishes once and for all!
The duo of turmeric and baking soda is a powerful weapon in our fight against acne. If you’re looking for a natural way to improve your skin’s appearance, baking soda is a great option.
