Tired of buying expensive products that make your skin look even worse? Below you will find a number of masks made from ingredients that you probably already have at home. The masks are completely natural and the best part is that they still work.

To step

Method 1 of 4: Make a mask with egg white

1. Make a face mask with proteins. Proteins can make your pores smaller and temporarily tighten your skin. Lemon juice contains vitamin C and can remove blackheads and other impurities.
   • Beat an egg white with a fork until it foams.
   • Add a few drops of lemon juice. Apply the mask on your face and let it sit until it dries. You will notice when the mask is dry because then you will have a hard time laughing.
   • Finally, rinse the mask off your skin.

Method 2 of 4: Make a fruit mask

1. Make a mask with tomatoes. Tomatoes contain lycopene, which slows down skin aging.
   • Put a spoonful of granulated sugar on a plate.
   • Cover one side of a half inch thick tomato slice with sugar.
   • Rub the tomato slice over your face and let the mixture work for about 10 minutes. Then rinse it off your face. You can eat the tomato now if you want.
2. Make a strawberry face mask. Strawberries contain alpha hydroxy acids that remove dead skin cells from your face. In addition, they contain salicylic acid, which removes the excess skin oil that causes blemishes.
   • Cut a large strawberry in half.
   • Rub the strawberry over your face.
   • Let the juice sit for 5 minutes.
   • Rinse your face.
3. Make a grapefruit mask. A grapefruit contains acids that stimulate cell renewal, leaving your facial skin looking radiant and fresh. Vitamin C ensures that more collagen is produced, which will make your face look smoother.
   • Mix the juice of a grapefruit with enough sugar to make a paste.
   • Apply the mask to your damp face in the shower.
   • Leave the mask on for a minute.
   • Wash the mask completely off your skin.
4. Make a mask with avocado and witch hazel. Avocados contain vitamin E, which is very good for dry skin. Witch hazel removes excess oil and impurities.
   • Puree the flesh of an avocado.
   • Add a few drops of witch hazel.
   • Leave the mask on your face for 5 minutes.
   • Rinse your skin.
5. Make a peach and oatmeal mask. Peaches, like strawberries, contain alpha hydroxy acids, and oatmeal softens and cares for the skin.
   • Puree a ripe peach and add a tablespoon of oatmeal and a tablespoon of honey.
   • Apply the mask to your face and leave it on for 10 minutes.
   • Rinse the mask off your face.
6. Make a face mask with bananas. Bananas contain natural fruit acids that combat dry skin.
   • Puree a ripe banana and add 2 tablespoons of yogurt.
   • Leave the mask on for 15 minutes.
   • Rinse the mask off your skin.

Method 3 of 4: Make a vegetable mask

1. Make a face mask with canned pumpkin and papaya. Pumpkins are packed with antioxidants, while papayas contain enzymes that remove oil and dead skin cells.
   • Mix 120 grams of pumpkin puree with 170 grams of papaya puree.
   • Apply the mask on a clean and dry face.
   • Leave it on for about 10 minutes.
   • Rinse the mask off your face.
2. Make a cucumber face mask. Cucumber has cooling properties that reduce redness, swelling and inflammation. This is why it is recommended to put slices of cucumber on your eyes if you have puffy eyes and black stripes under your eyes.
   • Puree half a cucumber with a tablespoon of yogurt in a blender.
   • Apply the mask and leave it on for 20 minutes.
   • Rinse your face.

Method 4 of 4: Make a sweet mask

1. Make a mask with brown sugar and milk. Brown sugar is a natural exfoliator that removes dead skin. Milk cleanses the skin. Mix 180 grams of brown sugar with a tablespoon of milk. Rub the mask on your face for a minute and leave it on for 15 minutes. Rinse your facial skin afterwards.
2. Make a mask with yogurt and honey. Honey softens and nourishes the skin, while yogurt contains lactic acid that rejuvenates your skin.
   • Mix a teaspoon of yogurt with 2 tablespoons of honey. If desired, microwave the mixture for 15 seconds to melt the honey slightly.
   • Apply the mask and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes.
   • Rinse the mask off your skin.
3. Make a face mask with honey and olive oil. This mask helps against acne and pimples, and ensures a radiant skin.
   • Mix a teaspoon of honey with a teaspoon of olive oil. Heat the mixture in the microwave for 10 seconds.
   • Apply the mixture on your face and leave it on for at least 10 minutes.
   • Rinse your face.

Tips

• Place cucumber slices on your eyes to get rid of the bags under your eyes. You can do this while you let the mask retract.
• Place tea bags on your eyes to reduce bags under your eyes.
• Milk is a good ingredient for making a face mask.
• Don't worry if you don't have papaya in the house. Pineapple works just as well.
• Don't have peaches at home? Plums and nectarines also contain alpha hydroxyl acids.
• You don't have to make all the masks one after the other. Prepare just one mask and make sure to choose one that suits your skin type.
• You only benefit temporarily from a face mask. If you make a mask that removes the excess skin oil, your skin will be oily again later on.
• Instead of a peach, you can also use a plum or a nectarine, as they also contain alpha hydroxy acids.

Warnings

• It is better not to combine different masks to make a "super mask". One ingredient can neutralize the beneficial properties of another ingredient.
• Only use face masks that suit your skin type. If someone with dry skin uses a mask with proteins, their dry skin will become even drier.
• Do not use the mask if your skin reacts badly to one of the ingredients. Your skin can become irritated, which can lead to acne breakouts.
• Do not apply the mask around your eyes.
• Try out the mask by applying a bit to the back of your hand or the side of your face. Do not use the mask if it irritates your skin.
