What is your homemade face mask recipe?

[JesseConant]

Why pay for a storebought face mask from face mask manufacturers when you can use basic ingredients found around the house to make your own simple, hydrating masks and scrubs?

Masks should stay on for 10-15 minutes. I love washing masks off with a steaming hot washcloth. Run the washcloth under hot water, squeeze out the excess water and then press to your face for a minute. Then, gently wash off the mask in a circular motion.

What is your recipe for?

Depends. I use to do DIY more frequently but honestly I'm finding myself to be lazy in recent months and find tearing a pre-made packet easier than going down into the kitchen and gathering the ingredients I need. lol

I've done the egg white/lemon mask - one egg white with a couple of drops of lemon, whisk together, apply, let dry, rinse off. Yogurt/honey mask, avocado mask, banana mask (which never have a rabbit in your lap while wearing this otherwise the rabbit goes beserk for the bananas), honey/banana mask, papaya mask, papaya/honey mask, egg yolk mask, mayo mask (hated that one, use the olive oil mayo instead or make your own mayo), oatmeal/honey mask and even a shredded carrot mask or and cucumber/yogurt/lemon mask (almost like making a Tzakiki minus the dill, garlic or onions).

The name of my homemade face mask recipe is Rose Face Mask. This is very easy to make and use.

Generally I use honey mask for my face.I will massage a teaspoon of raw honey into my face and let it sit for 10-30 minutes before rinsing with cool water. This simple honey mask can smooth my skin, fight wrinkles, improve skin tone, reduce redness, and help with blemishes.

Honey masks are the best...you can add so many other things to it for hydration repair and protection.

Essential oils are great especially carrot seed, rosehip and for their healing anti aging properties

Honey mask is generally used for bleach and soften your skin.

I tried a new one - raw milk (which is a pain to track down, found mine at a co-op) + honey. Since raw milk is exactly that there are a couple of warnings I have to give.

1. It's unpasteurized so the risk of bacteria is there.
2. It spoils quickly so but it in 1/2 gallon or less.
3. If you are allergic to cow's milk try raw goat's milk.

Raw milk does not look and does not taste like store bought milk. It is thick with the cream and the cream will float towards the top so it looks and smell "odd" compared to store bought milk. I used the cream portion of the milk (1/2 cup milk with as much of the cream as possible) and 1/4 cup raw honey. Mix until well blended. Since the milk is thicker than pasteurized milk this will be a thicker mask and it will smell odd because it's raw milk (it also tastes completely different than pasteurized milk from the store). Leave on face 15 to 20 minutes, wash with luke-warm water.

I've been wanting for years to take a milk bath and so this was the next best thing to try. It felt odd due to the honey and the raw milk but after leaving it on for 15 minutes then washing off with luke-warm water my skin did feel hydrated longer than normal. Did I see a major change in my skin? No. I used it once and I don't know if I'll see an improvement in my skin texture or condition if I continue doing this nightly or every few nights but it was a fun DIY mask to try at least once.

Honey is the main ingredient for my face pack. I Mix honey, almond oil and rose oil and blend them well and apply to my face. It really brings glow to my face. This face mask is  very good for dull, breakouts and blotchy skin.

Oohh, I like this idea. I think the season's changing is giving me some sort of dry skin issue.
