This simple (only two ingredients!) cooling mask is great for soothing a sunburnt face. It’s great for all skin types.

Face Mask Recipes

For oily skin – Milk of Magnesia is wonderful for people with oily skin and it’s simple to use. Just rub it thoroughly on the face and keep it on for 5-10 minutes and then rinse it off with lukewarm water.

For neutral skin- Add one egg, half cup of cooked instant oatmeal and one-teaspoon olive oil and make a mixture. Apply it on the face and let it dry and then rinse it off under ordinary water.

For dry skin-Make a mixture of one egg yolk, one teaspoon honey, one teaspoon olive oil and one teaspoon vitamin E oil or baby oil (optional), if one feels one’s skin is extra dry or something on a particular day and apply it on the face and keep it on for around 10-15 minutes and then rinse it off with lukewarm water and dry it off thoroughly with a towel.

The best facial mask is honey, because it helps in opening the pores and cleansing it. It should be first rinsed off with lukewarm water and then with cold water to close the pores since the pores should be closed after cleansing. Application of facial masks is a must to open the pores in the skin and to remove the dirt and grit inside the skin and close it thereafter, glowing skin is a very big asset especially in a woman’s beauty, even if one is dark, if one’s skin is glowing it gives an elegant beautiful look which cannot compete with a fair-skinned person, full of pimples.

Apple Facial Mask

Take a nicely ripe 1/4th apple and mash it with a fork and add 1 teaspoon oatmeal and 1 teaspoon honey to it and apply it on the face and leave it on till the mixture dries on the face thoroughly and then rinse it off with ordinary water. This is especially good for all types of skin in the autumn.

Avocado Facial Mask

Mash half an avocado and apply it on the face thoroughly everywhere and let it stay till it dries up completely and then wash it off with cold water.

Banana Honey Yogurt Facial Mask

Mash a banana thoroughly and mix it with 1 teaspoon honey and 2 teaspoons yogurt and apply it on the face evenly. Leave it on the face till the skin absorbs it thoroughly and dries completely on the face and then rinse it off with cold water.

Cornmeal Facial Mask

Take enough cornmeal which will be required for the face and mix it water and make a thick tight paste and apply it in circular motions to the face and then leave it on for 10-15 minutes or till it dries completely on the face and once it dries wash it off with cold water.
