Homemade All-Natural Facial Mask Recipes

By Tiffany Moore

Instead of spending money on overhyped, store-bought facial masks that do not work, why not look for safe, all-natural ingredients in the kitchen and use them to make face masks at home?

Not only is creating your own beauty treatments super exciting, it is also a great way to rejuvenate and invigorate your skin on the cheap. When used regularly, these homemade facial masks helps hydrate your skin and at the same time, get rids of excess oils and other impurities embedded in skin pores, leaving you with a dewy, glowing face complexion that radiates with vitality from within. What’s more, they also help cleansers to penetrate deeper to give you a deeper clean.

Before you begin a facial, always start with a clean or well scrubbed face in order to get the maximum benefits, and whenever you rinse your face with warm water, always splash with cold water to close pores.

Place a cloth in warm water and apply to your face to open the pores. Smear on two tablespoon of warm honey, being careful not to make it too hot for your skin, and leave on for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water, then use cold water to close the pores. Use once a week.

Salt Facial Mask

Salt is great for sucking out the oil from pimples. Whenever my teenage son got an unexpected pimple, I rubbed some salt on it and in 10 minutes, the pimple shrinks a little. Wash your face with warm water, and dry slightly. Rub some salt lightly on your face and leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, avoiding opening the eyes.

Avocado Facial Mask

Avocado has always been a favorite choice among people with dry skin. Just mash up an avocado, then apply to a cleansed face. Leave on for about 15 minutes and rinse off.

Papaya and Honey Facial

1 tablespoon fuller's earth, 1 tablespoon honey, ¼ ripe papaya

Cut the papaya in half and scoop out the seeds. Scoop out the papaya fruit and mash it well to eliminate lumps in the mask. Mix in honey and fuller's earth and put on face for 20 minutes then rinse off. You will feel a tingling sensation as the enzymes in the papaya starts to work immediately.
