I really want a freshening facial mask, that i can get from my kitchen. Money's tight right now, so I really don't feel like going out and buying mask products. Any help?Any home made facial mask recipes?
Here's something I found:
Dry Skin:
1/2 banana
2 TBSP sunflower oil
1. Mash half a banana with sunflower oil and blend until mixture is smooth.
2. Apply the mixture to your clean, dry face and leave for 20 minutes. Be careful to not get any in your eyes.
3. Rinse face pat dry with soft towel.
Normal Skin:
3 apricots
1. Mash apricots until mixture is smooth.
2. Apply mixture to clean dry face.
3. Leave for 20 minutes.
4. Rinse face and pat dry with soft towel.
Oily Skin:
1 uncooked egg
1.Beat one egg white smooth.
2. Apply mixture to clean, dry skin, concentrating on oily parts of your face.
3. Leave for 20 minutes.
4. Rinse face and pat dry with a soft towel.
This is mostly for acne but it's a great mask especially the apricot mask. Hope that helps.Any home made facial mask recipes?
Gotta say, one of my favorites is egg white with some table salt. The salt is a scrub, so after the egg white dries you moisten with a bit of water and then scrub the mask off. I think it's nice and light, and does a nice 'polishing', and the salt is a bit drying. And cheap! And no funny smells that you might not want on your face.
I agree, I don't see the reason to spend the money--and if you do it a lot you can make a lovely zabaglione with the egg yolks!
this is aimed for deep cleansing, especially for young faces
1 packet dry yeast, 3 drops lemon juice, 2 tsps water
Mix together in small bowl until a thick paste forms, add water if necessary to achieve consistency for applying
Pat mixture on face (avoid eyes). Allow to sit for 10-15 min. Rinse off and pat dry.
OR:
1 tbsp finely ground oatmeal, 1 tbsp yogurt (plain), 1/2 tsp honey
Mix oatmeal and yogurt thoroughly before adding the warmed honey
Apply to clean face and let sit 10 - 15 min, Rinse and pat dry, apply toner or moisturizer after.
1 medium size apple; grated
5 tablespoons of honey; warmed
Apply to freshly cleaned face and leave on for 10 minutes. Wash off with warm water and pat dry. It's good for acne prone skin.
For soft skin do the avocado, mash an avo and apply

this is where i get my home made ones from. Its cool they have so many for normal. oily dry skin. worth a look and its cheap cause its all stuff you'd keep in the cupboard or fridge. save so much money.
Put cucumbers and grapes in a blender and puree. Mix that with whole wheat flour to a nice paste and spread thinly over your face. Let it dry, then remove. You can feed the dried mask to your pets. If you have dry skin, add olive oil, but not too much.
Try egg whites and avocado.
