Home Made Facial Masks


In this post I will discuss a few ways you can make facial masks at home which are as effective as getting a facial from a spa without spending hundereds of dollars each year. I will also include a few tips from a guest on Nadia Khan Show, Rima Soni. She is a beauty consultant based in Dubai and specialize in treating skin with natural ingredients.


Dry Skin
Egg yolk, few lemon drops, 1/2 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp of olive or almond oil. Mix well and apply on skin, avoiding eye area ofcourse. Wash with cool water when mask is dry. This mask also tightens the skin!


Oily Skin
Egg white, 1/2 tsp honey, with few lemon drops. Apply on skin and wash with cool water when mask dries.

Acne
Egg yolk can be applied on skin to heal blemishes. You can also try 1 tsp cinnamon powder mixed with honey. Apply and leave it on for 1 hour every day. Wash with cool water. This mask will start to dry the pimples without drying the skin.

Dull Skin
Egg yolk, 1/2 tsp honey, 2 drops lemon juice, and almond powder. Mix and apply on skin. Wash with cool water when dry. It will exfoliate the skin.

For Open Pores
1 tsp lemon, 1/2 tsp honey, dilute with water
or
1 tsp tomatoe juice, 1/2 tsp honey and apply on skin for 30 minutes. Wash with cool water

Sooth Tired Skin and Clear Acne Marks
Yogurt mixed with oats powder. Make a paste and apply on skin. Wash with cool water when mask is dry.

Facial Scrub
Mash strawberries, add almond powder to make a paste. Apply to skin, wash when the mask dries.

Skin Whitener
Strawberries also work as a skin whitener. You can also rub raw papaya on your skin to whiten.

Toner
Rose water can be applied to skin as a toner. It is very inexpensive plus it smells really good.

I will be posting more tips in coming day. Any questions, comments are welcomed.

I was wondering where you might find almond powder? Would it be a flour consistency or more like an almond meal? Can I just put almonds into the food processor and make my own?

Yes, the easiest thing to do is to put some almonds into food processor and grind them until they are of powder/flour consistency. Hope my answer helped :)
