Facial Mask Recipes - Homemade Treats for Beautiful Skin

After a tiring work week, it's about time that you let your hair down, put your feet up, and subject yourself to facial mask recipes. They're fun and easy to do, all-natural, the ingredients you need may already be available in your kitchen or fridge, and the best thing about it is that your skin will love you for it! If you like, you may also invite some girlfriends over and share your home made skin care secrets to them for an all-girl, home spa weekend.

Yogurt and Honey Nourishing Mask

Yogurt and honey are both know for their moisturizing and hydrating properties.

Simply add a tablespoon of each together and apply to clean, damp face. Leave on for half an hour then rinse with warm water.

Avocado and Carrot Cream Mask

This facial mask brings together the wonders of various ingredients rich with anti-oxidants, Vitamin E, calcium and protein. This skin care recipe is good for improving skin tone and texture and for rebuilding skin collagen.

For this homemade facial mask, you need 1 mashed avocado, 1 cooked and mashed carrot, half a cup of heavy cream, 1 beaten egg and 3 tablespoons of honey.

Mix all ingredients together until you get a smooth mixture. Apply onto face and neck and leave on for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse with cool water then follow with your usual toner.

Orange Yogurt Mask

This is another killer combo in homemade skincare. Orange has AHA's and anti-oxidants, while yogurt is a natural cleanser and moisturizer.

Add a teaspoon of yogurt to the juice of ¼ of an orange and mix until smooth. Apply onto face. Leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing.
