DIY Facials

Hi girls! Today I wanted to give you some recipes for wonderful facials. I have tried one, and it works great! Some are for certain skin types so make sure that it works for your skin type. Also, make sure that you have permission to use these ingredients around your house. 

Before I begin, I just want you to know the difference between a facial mask and a facial scrub. A facial mask is like a paste that you spread all over your face and it usually hardens. Then, you wash it off with a warm wash cloth. A facial scrub almost feels like sand. You actually scrub your face with this, but be sure to be gentle because it can irritate your skin if you rub to hard. 

On each facial I do, I will say whether or not it seems like a facial mask, or a facial scrub. 

All Skin Types

Egg White Mask~

All you need is about 1-2 egg whites. Then, whisk until its thinner. After that, gently spread it evenly across your face. This is a facial mask. It dries, and becomes like cracked and stuff. Its actually very hydrating to your skin. I have done this, and I totally recommend it. I have dry skin, and my friend has oily skin, and it worked great on both of us. 

Oatmeal and Yogurt Facial Mask~

Pour one tablespoon of oatmeal into a bowl, make sure its finely ground, then add one tablespoon of organic yogurt. Then, stir a few drops of warm honey into the oatmeal and yogurt. Leave it on for about ten minutes, then take off with a warm wash cloth and put on some light moisturizer. 

Sugar Facial Mask~

Stir together two tablespoons of sugar, and three tablespoons of warm water until it makes a paste-like consistency. Leave it on for about 10-15 minutes and wash off with a warm washcloth.

Oily Skin Types

Banana Facial Mask~

Take one ripe banana, and mix it with a tablespoon of honey. Then, add a few orange or lemon juice drops. Let it sit on your face for about 15 minutes, then wash off with a warm wash cloth.

Aspirin Facial Mask~

Before doing this, be sure that you have your parent's permission because you are going to be handling medicine. Maybe you should ask one of your parents to help you. Depending on how much of your face your going to put it on, you should use around 1-3 aspirin. Roll over aspirin with coffee cup or glass cup to crush it, then put it in a shallow dish. After that you need to stir in a few drops of water to make it into an actual paste. Add some warm honey, and any kind of oil of your choice (almond, olive, etc.). Then, apply to face and leave it until it dries. Then, wash it off with a warm wash cloth. 

Juice Facial Mask~

Mash and blend one teaspoon of lemon juice, 2 egg whites, 3 teaspoons of honey, 1 cup of strawberries, and if you want a few drops of any oil or your choice. Then, apply it to face and wash off after about ten minutes. 

Dry Skin Types

Avocado and Honey Facial Mask~

Take half an avocado, and mash it, then add 1/4 cup of honey. Leave it on for however long, and wash off with a warm wash cloth.

Milk Mask~

Mix together one teaspoon of powdered milk, one teaspoon of aloe vera gel, one tablespoon of warm honey, and 2 drops of essential oil. Leave it on for however long, and wash off with a warm wash cloth.

Sensitive Skin Types

Yogurt Face Mask~

Take one cup of natural yogurt, out of the fridge, and mix it together with 1/2 a cup of ground oatmeal. Leave on for 10-15 minutes, and take off with a washcloth heated in the microwave. 

If you want to brighten your skin, then mix a tablespoon of turmeric powder and 1 cup of yogurt together. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes and rinse off with warm washcloth. (You need your parents permission)
