Instead of buying skin products in the store, sometimes it is better to simply make your own. By making your own face masks, you know what you are putting on your skin, and you area aware that you are not damaging your skin with any kind of chemicals. So here are some useful recipes which will make your skin clean, fresh, and glowing.

1. Peeling mask #1:

2 tbs corn flower

1 egg white

Mix those two really well and apply it to your face. Leave it on for about 15 minutes. When it’s ready to be washed, use warm water and lightly scrub your face in circular motion. Finish it off with couple of splashes of cold water. (tip: if you want your face to feel even better to the touch, before you start making the paste, boil the water from the faucet for about 5 minutes and let it cool off. Separate the water in two cups, keep one in the fridge for the last step. The reason for boiling the water is when the water reaches a high temperature, it kills all the bacteria and chlorine so your skin won’t feel too dry.)

2. Peeling #2

1 tbs honey

2 tbs ground almonds

1/2 tbs lemon juice

Mix all the ingredients together, scrub it lightly into your skin (face) and wash it off with warm water.

3. Fine lines and wrinkles

2 tbs honey

1 egg white

Mix it all together and leave it on your face for 20-30 minutes.

Wash it off with hot water, followed by cold splashes at the end. (Don’t use this mask too often, 2 times per month max)

4. For fresh looking skin

1 potato (fresh, not baked or boiled).

1/2 cup of fresh milk (organic whole or 2%)

1 egg yolk

Mix the ingredients together and apply it to your face by making circular motions. Rinse it with hot water, followed by couple of splashes of cold water.

5. For dirty skin (blackheads and makeup)

Take one small bag of (baking) yeast and mix it with warm milk.

Apply it all over your face and let it dry thoroughly.

With regular use of this mask you will see the difference on your skin within few weeks.

Yeast contains plenty of Vitamin B and it also helps clearing the acne fast!

6. Clear up your acne in a few simple steps

Peel one tomato (Preferably organic. Dipping it in the hot water will make it peel easier)

1/4 tomato

1 teaspoon of plain yogurt (2%)

1 teaspoon of Aloe Vera gel

4 drops of menthol ethereal oil

When done mixing all the ingredients above, apply the mask to your face. Leave it on for about 10 minutes than rinse it with warm water.
