Look After Your Skin the Natural Way – With a Home Made Face Mask

Making your own face mask from everyday items that can be found in your fridge or store cupboard is a great way to look fabulous, save money and give your skin a boost. Here is my favourite ‘recipes’ to whip up a gorgeous treat for your face, whatever your skin type (and most of them taste great too!)

Dry

Use a super ripe banana (that would otherwise just be used in a banana cake!), mash it up and add a dollop of honey and a squeeze of lemon juice. Apply to your face and leave for 15-20 minutes before removing with a face cloth or cleansing sponge. This mask will soothe and care for your dry skin.

Normal or All Skin Types: Mash up a few strawberries with some natural yogurt and a drizzle of honey for a super luxurious mask for any skin type. Just pop it on, lie back and allow it to work for 10-15 minutes before rinsing. The yogurt will soothe and the strawberries will brighten your skin.

Oily: If you have oily skin which is prone to spots, try mashing some avocado with an egg white. Mix it well, add a squeeze of lime juice and apply to your skin for a few moments before rinsing off with warm water to leave your skin soft, smooth and clear.

Sensitive: Sensitive skin needs to be treated with extra care. Try softened, unsalted butter mixed with a spoonful of full-fat natural yogurt and some rolled porridge oats to relieve and look after your sensitive skin. Gorgeous!

For an extra vitamin boost, use Organic products if you can afford it. Use a natural mask once a week or so and you will be well on your way, to younger-looking, super-nourished, beautiful skin!
