Pampering your skin doesn’t have to be expensive. There are a number of ways to treat your skin at home using inexpensive, readily available ingredients. By choosing a homemade mask for your skin type, you can treat and soothe your skin to reveal a healthier, glowing complexion. Use a homemade mask once or twice a week to improve your skin tone.
Berry and Honey Mask
A strawberry-honey mask will brighten and moisturize your skin. Strawberries contain fruit enzymes, which gently exfoliate the skin, while honey attracts moisture. The berries also contain vitamin C, which helps slow the aging process. Take eight or nine very ripe strawberries, cut off the ends and puree them with a fork. Add 3 tbsp. of honey and mix thoroughly. Apply the mixture to your face and allow the mask to set for 15 to 20 minutes; then rinse it off thoroughly with water.
This mask is suitable for oily skin. However, those with sensitive skin should avoid this mask as the fruit enzymes may be irritating.
Pumpkin Facial Mask
A pumpkin facial mask helps brighten your complexion and smells delicious. Pumpkin contains high levels of vitamins A and C, which help fight the aging process. To make the mask, mix 1/4 cup of canned pumpkin puree with an egg, and add a splash of milk. If you have dry skin, add a tablespoon of honey, and if you have oily skin, add a splash of apple cider or cranberry juice. Mix thoroughly and apply the mask to your face; allow it to set for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with water to remove the mask.
This mask is suitable for all skin types. Those with sensitive skin should follow the mask instructions for normal or dry skin.
Peaches and Cream Mask
A peaches and cream mask will help brighten your complexion, since peaches contain alpha-hydroxy acids which will help gently exfoliate your face. The honey and oatmeal soothe and moisturize the skin. Puree one pitted peach in a blender, and add 1 tbsp. of honey and enough oatmeal or powdered oatmeal to form a paste. Mix the ingredients and apply the mask to your face. Allow it to set for 10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with water.
This mask is suitable for normal skin, as it will gently exfoliate while adding moisture.
