Natural Face Mask Recipes

Natural face masks can be easily made at home and are quite inexpensive as well. Herbs, fruits, dry fruits and some vegetables are generally used to make such facial masks. At times, certain cereals might also be used to prepare them. Since natural facial masks are free of chemicals, you don’t have to worry about the side effects as well. Moreover, on using them, your face will radiate a natural glow that can, perhaps, not be seen when you use the shop-bought beauty products. If you are looking for some easy-to-make natural face mask recipes, go through the following lines.

Mix half cup of gram flour with 2 tsp turmeric powder and 2 tsp sandalwood powder. Add 1 tsp almond oil and a little amount of water, to form a thick paste. Apply the paste on your face and leave it undisturbed for 10 minutes. Remove the mask by rubbing it off with fingers. Rinse your face with water.

 

One of the cheapest natural facial masks is made by using oatmeal. Grind oatmeal to make a fine powder. Mix 2 tsp of finely powdered oatmeal with water, to form a thick paste. Apply it on your face and leave it for 15 minutes. Rinse your face thoroughly, with water, or wipe off the mask with a damp sponge. 

 

One of the popular methods to get a soft and smooth skin is the use of cucumber face mask. Mash a cucumber and strain its water. Add 1 tbsp sugar to it. Blend the mixture well and refrigerate it. Apply the cucumber-water, mixed with sugar, on your face and leave it for 15 minutes. Rub off the mask and wipe your face with a damp sponge.

You can also use strawberries to make a face mask. Take five ripe strawberries and rinse them thoroughly, with lukewarm water. Take a small bowl and mash the fruit in it, using a fork. Add 2 tsp fresh, whipped cream and 1 tsp honey. Mix well to form a paste. Apply the paste on your face generously and leave it for 20 minutes. Remove the mask by rinsing your face with water.

 

Take one cup of boiling water and add 5 tsp fresh rose petals and peels from 2 oranges. Let the rose water cool down. In a separate pan, heat 5 tsp milk, with 2 tsp honey and 4 tbsp whole wheat flour, to form a thick paste. Allow it to cool. Apply the paste on your face and leave it to dry completely. Wash off the dried mask with rose water made earlier.

 

Mix 1 tbsp of finely ground almond and 1 tbsp honey. Add 1 egg white to the mixture and blend it well. This will form a paste. Apply the paste on your face and allow it to set for 15 minutes. Wipe off the mask with a damp sponge or rinse it off with water.
