The Best DIY Face Mask
You don’t have to spend a small fortune on your skincare routine, especially on a face mask. Try creating a DIY face mask to save money but still help your skin.
Face masks are easy to make at home, and you probably have most of the ingredients already sitting in your pantry. Here are five great DIY face mask recipes to help you feel like you’re at the spa in your own home:
1. Oatmeal Mask
Oatmeal isn’t just a warm and hearty breakfast. It also has benefits for your skin. Mostly it is used to calm red or irritated skin.
For this mask, combine raw oats with a half of a banana and a teaspoon of honey. The oatmeal will soothe your skin, the banana will hydrate and the honey has antibacterial properties that also heal your skin.
2. Brown Sugar Scrub Mask
Exfoliation is critical for healthy skin. By removing dead skin cells, you’ll reveal healthy and glowing skin underneath.
Brown sugar is a great natural exfoliator. To make this mask all you need is a little brown sugar and coconut oil. Combine the ingredients in a bowl and apply to your face. Coconut oil will hydrate the skin and the brown sugar will exfoliate as you wash it off.
3. Milk and Honey Mask
As we mentioned earlier, honey is antibacterial so it’s wonderful for irritated or acne-prone skin. For a quick, clarifying mask, combine honey and milk in a bowl. Nutmeg is an optional ingredient and is used as a gentle exfoliator to help clear out your pores.
4. Pumpkin Mask
Pumpkin has tons of different benefits for your skin. First, pumpkin contains enzymes that gently exfoliate and soften your skin. It also contains crucial vitamins A and C that your skin loves.
Combine canned or fresh pumpkin in a bowl with coconut oil and honey. This mask will give you a glow and make you look younger the more you use it.
5. Avocado Mask
If your skin needs more hydration, try this easy avocado mask. Avocados are rich in healthy fats that are great for moisturizing the skin. Mix half an avocado with a teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of plain yogurt.
