Face Masks for Dry Skin

  • Egg Yolk & Honey Mask: Take 1 tablespoon honey, 1 egg yolk, 1/2 teaspoon almond oil and 1 tablespoon yogurt. Mix together and apply on face. Honey smoothes the skin, egg and almond oil moisturize, and yogurt refines and tightens pores. Leave for 20 mins to half an hour.
  • Banana Face Mask: Mash 1/4 ripe banana and mix with half a cup natural yogurt and 1 tablespoon of honey. Apply this pack on face and neck and leave for 20 minutes and then rinse off.
  • Olive oil and Egg Mask: Mix 1 egg yolk with 1 tbsp. olive oil & 1 tbsp. plain yogurt. Apply on face and leave for 20 minutes.

Face Masks for Oily Skin

  • Egg Yolk, Avocado & Mud Facial Mask: Buy fuller’s earth mud / clay from any health store. Mix 1 tablespoon dry clay, 1 egg yolk, 1/4 of a mashed avocado and enough witch hazel to create a smooth mixture. Mud dries excess sebum while Witch hazel tones the skin.
  • Lemon Face Mask: Mix 1 tbsp. lemon juice with 1/4 cup ground oatmeal and 1 tbsp. yogurt. Apply on face and leave for 20 minutes, then wash off with warm water.

Face Mask for Normal Skin

  • Turmeric Mask: Take some turmeric powder, and mix with gram flour and rose water. Apply on face for 20 minutes and then wash off with water.
  • Homemade Clay Mask: Clay masks hydrate and tone your skin. Take some fuller’s earth clay (if your skin is sensitive, try green clay), 1 tsp honey, water. Mix together and apply on face. Wah off after 20 minutes.

Face Mask for Combination Skin

  • Rose Water Mask: Take some natural rose water or crushed rose petals, mix with natural yoghurt, honey and some water. Apply on face and wash off after 15 minutes.

Face Mask for Sensitive Skin

  • Oatmeal Face Mask: This soothing mask is great for chapped, sunburned or irritated. Take 1 cup natural yogurt, honey and ½ cup oatmeal. Mix the ingredients together & apply on face for 15 minutes.

Face Masks for Aging Skin

  • Sugar mask: This mask works well for ageing and maturing skin that uses sugar, since it is a natural exfoliant and will help soften the lines and wrinkles on your face. Take 2 spoons powdered sugar, 4 tbsp warm water and dissolve. Apply to the face and leave for 10 minutes. Gently massage and wash off.
  • Banana Mask for wrinkles: Mash 1/4 banana until it is very smooth. Apply on face and leave for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Then use cold water to close the pores.
  • Egg White Mask: Simply apply eggwhite on your face covering all your wrinkles and fine lines. Wash off after half an hour.

  1. <p>I would like to comment on your egg yolk mask. My Ukrainian Mom (who, BTW, was a cinema star in the 50s) was teaching me to apply weekly the following mask: 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of honey. She still has a great skin!</p>

  8. I used to just use the egg white and lemon juice facial, and it worked wonders! It squeezed my pores shut tight, and I swear it felt like a homemade Botox treatment!
