Homemade Butter Face Mask Recipes

By Tiffany Moore

Don't toss out that stick of butter when you want to lose weight. Use it to treat yourself to relaxing yet inexpensive facials at home. Whether you have normal, dry, oily, or combination skin, butter makes a great face mask base. The Vitamins A and E in butter are excellent for diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

These homemade butter face mask recipes, while being all natural, are super easy to make. You can even make them 100 percent organic, if you prefer.

Butter Face Mask Recipes

Butter and Strawberry Face Mask

The natural alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) in strawberry has anti-aging and anti-wrinkle properties that breakdown dead skin cells buildup to unclog pores. It also helps to get rid of blemishes and acne.

Egg yolk will moisturize dry skin and reduce wrinkles while the cucumber acts as a natural skin tonic to keep your skin soft and supple. It's also great for reducing puffiness in the face. Lemon is an effective astringent to clear blackheads on oily skin.

Ingredients needed for butter and strawberry facial:

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

1 large strawberry, mashed

1 inch slice cucumber pushed through a sieve (for normal to dry skin) or

1 tablespoon lemon juice (for oily skin) or

1 egg yolk (for very dry skin)

How to make butter face mask:

1. In a small bowl, combine together the butter, strawberry and the ingredient of your choice.

2. Apply the facial mask on your face, and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes.

3. Remove face mask thoroughly with a wet, warm washcloth. Pat dry. Apply your favorite toner and moisturizer.

Butter and Mango Face Mask

A moisturizing face mask that's really revitalizing for those with dry skin. Since both butter and mango are good sources of vitamin A, this facial is extremely helpful on sunburned or damaged skin, or sensitive dry skin.

Ingredients for butter mango facial:

½ medium-sized mango, skinned and cubed

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 egg yolk

½ teaspoon chamomile oil

½ teaspoon apricot oil

How to make butter mango face mask:

1. Place mango together with the butter, egg yolk, chamomile oil and apricot oil in a food processor. Blend until you get a nice smooth paste.

2. Apply paste gently on your clean face, avoiding the delicate eye area. You may want to spread it on your neck too.

3. Relax and leave the face mask on for 10 to 15 minutes.

4. Remove mask with a wet, warm washcloth, ending with a splash of cold. Pat dry with a clean towel. Apply your toner and moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.

Important: Don't use homemade butter face masks if you're allergic to any ingredient used in the facial recipes.
