Homemade face masks are a great way to make the most of simple, natural products that will nourish and moisturize the skin rather than drying it out or adding harsh chemicals. Try these easy-to-make remedies using things like coconut oil, yogurt, honey, oatmeal, strawberries, and more! The first recipe is for those with dry skin who want something soothing but still cleansing. Just whip up one part raw honey with two parts Greek yogurt into a thick paste then spread evenly over your clean face before rinsing off after five minutes. For extra moisture, you can use regular plain yogurt instead of Greek if desired.

- If you’re looking for something cleansing and toning, try this recipe made from just oats and milk!
Mix together about half a cup of instant oatmeal (without any added sugar or flavorings) with one tablespoon each of hot water and whole milk until the mixture is creamy like a pancake batter. Apply to damp skin and let sit while you do some self-care activities for 15 to 20 minutes before removing gently with warm water like in the shower.
- If your breakouts are what needs attention, this mask made from strawberries can help reduce
inflammation by depleting redness-causing free radicals on the surface of your skin thanks to ingredients like lemon juice, baking soda, natural glycerin soap, and more
- The fourth recipe is perfect if you have oily acne-prone skin because cucumbers naturally soothe and moisturize while also reducing inflammation.
Grind up one cucumber with a teaspoon of witch hazel and lemon juice, then mix in enough aloe vera gel to create a paste thick enough for an even layer on your skin from forehead to chin. Allow it to sit for 15 minutes before rinsing off gently using warm water as you would after taking a shower!
The list of ingredients good for your skin are:
Green tea extract – is very effective in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Aloe vera gel
Has been used to treat inflamed skin, acne, burns, insect bites with no side effects. It also helps with sunburns because it’s a great moisturizing agent.
Vitamin E – is the best anti-oxidant for your skin and it helps with acne, wrinkles, scars, and dark spots.
Jojoba oil – that has been used to treat psoriasis and other skin disorders because of its soothing effect on irritated or inflamed skin. It’s also great for your hair.
Shea butter – is not just a moisturizer but it has anti-inflammatory properties that help to reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and other skin discoloration like dark spots or blemishes.
Honey
Can be used as an exfoliator which helps with acne because you can mix it with salt or sugar to create a scrub that will clean dead skin cells. It’s also anti-bacterial so you can use it on your face, lips, and other parts of the body where you have acne breakouts.
Coconut oil – is another great moisturizer because, unlike mineral oils which are used in most commercial beauty products, coconut oil doesn’t clog the pores. It’s also a great anti-fungal and antibacterial agent so it has many uses for your skin.
Vitamin C – is a strong antioxidant that helps with dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. It’s also effective in skin lightening so it will help you to get rid of acne scars and blemishes caused by hyperpigmentation.
Vitamin A – is effective in treating acne, wrinkles, and fine lines. It will also help with dark spots because it boosts collagen production.
Almond oil– apart from being a great moisturizer for your skin, almond oil can be used to treat age spots or any other discolorations on the surface of the skin.
