Natural face masks can be easily made at home and are quite inexpensive as well.
Herbs, fruits, dry fruits and some vegetables are generally used to make such
facial masks. At times, certain cereals might also be used to prepare them.
Since natural facial masks are free of chemicals, you don’t have to worry about
the side effects as well. Moreover, on using them, your face will radiate a
natural glow that can, perhaps, not be seen when you use the shop-bought beauty
products. If you are looking for some easy-to-make natural face mask recipes, go
through the following lines.
Homemade Natural Facial Mask Recipes
Turmeric Face Mask
Mix half cup of gram flour with 2 tsp turmeric powder and 2 tsp sandalwood
powder. Add 1 tsp almond oil and a little amount of water, to form a thick
paste. Apply the paste on your face and leave it undisturbed for 10 minutes.
Remove the mask by rubbing it off with fingers. Rinse your face with water.
Oatmeal Face Mask
One of the cheapest natural facial masks is made by using oatmeal. Grind oatmeal
to make a fine powder. Mix 2 tsp of finely powdered oatmeal with water, to form
a thick paste. Apply it on your face and leave it for 15 minutes. Rinse your
face thoroughly, with water, or wipe off the mask with a damp sponge.
Cucumber Face Mask
One of the popular methods to get a soft and smooth skin is the use of cucumber
face mask. Mash a cucumber and strain its water. Add 1 tbsp sugar to it. Blend
the mixture well and refrigerate it. Apply the cucumber-water, mixed with sugar,
on your face and leave it for 15 minutes. Rub off the mask and wipe your face
with a damp sponge.
Strawberry Face Mask
You can also use strawberries to make a face mask. Take five ripe strawberries
and rinse them thoroughly, with lukewarm water. Take a small bowl and mash the
fruit in it, using a fork. Add 2 tsp fresh, whipped cream and 1 tsp honey. Mix
well to form a paste. Apply the paste on your face generously and leave it for
20 minutes. Remove the mask by rinsing your face with water.
Whole Wheat Flour Face Mask
Take one cup of boiling water and add 5 tsp fresh rose petals and peels from 2
oranges. Let the rose water cool down. In a separate pan, heat 5 tsp milk, with
2 tsp honey and 4 tbsp whole wheat flour, to form a thick paste. Allow it to
cool. Apply the paste on your face and leave it to dry completely. Wash off the
dried mask with rose water made earlier.
Almond Face Mask
Mix 1 tbsp of finely ground almond and 1 tbsp honey. Add 1 egg white to the
mixture and blend it well. This will form a paste. Apply the paste on your face
and allow it to set for 15 minutes. Wipe off the mask with a damp sponge or
rinse it off with water. |
