10 Natural, Homemade Facemask Recipes for Better, Clearer Skin

When it comes to the health of your skin, you often don’t have to look much further than your kitchen for some fantastic natural ingredients. Instead of buying something from a store with a long list of ingredients that you’ve never heard of before, bypass the chemicals and unknowns, and keep it au naturel. Not only are you keeping your sensitive skin clean, but you’ll also be saving money on the inexpensive ingredients.

If you want to extend your homemade repertoire, you may also be interested in making your own hair masks and even home cleaning products.

1. Honey, Cinnamon, Nutmeg

These three simple ingredients are all you need to exfoliate, moisturize, get rid of blemishes, and even out the tone of your skin. Once a week should be enough, but if you just wake up one morning and your skin isn’t feeling all that hot, go right ahead and mix up your concoction!

2. Spirulina, Castor Oil, Essential Oil

Spirulina is considered a superfood that many people drink as supplements, but did you know that it’s just as good when applied to your skin? The recipe even helps decide which essential oil to use depending on your skin type.

3. Honey, Egg White

I know that literally having egg on your face may not sound like the best idea, but you’ll be thanking me later when your pores are tighter and your face feels smoother and softer. Leave this on for about 20 minutes and keep it up once a week.

4. Lemon, Milk

Usually, the thought of mixing these two ingredients conjures up not-so-pleasant images of curdled milk, but this is actually really good for anti-aging! Your skin will be left feeling really smooth, and it also helps to even out your skin tone.

5. Avocado Oil, Homemade Mayo, Raw Honey

The thing that I love about this recipe is that not only is it great for seriously dry skin, but you can use this on those luscious locks too! You can leave this on your face for up to an hour if you really lack the moisture that you need.

6. Banana, Egg Yolk, Olive Oil

If you struggle with very dry and sensitive skin, then this is the soothing, moisturizing mask for you! Instead of irritations and breakouts, you’ll have smooth, glowing, youthful skin. This isn’t great for storing, though, so only make what you need per application.

7. Chocolate

The combination of cocoa powder, cream, oatmeal, and honey not only sounds delicious, but it’ll really hydrate, soften, and exfoliate your skin, while tightening wrinkles, too. Just try to resist the urge to eat it all up before it makes it to your face!

8. DIY Glamglow

This recipe contains a few more ingredients than the other—like Aztec secret bentonite clay, charcoal, essential oils—but it’s the one to go for if you want some seriously cleared up and radiant skin! Make yourself a big batch and keep it for up to a month.

9. Saffron

Yes, saffron is a rather expensive spice, but that’s what makes this so luxurious on your precious skin! This is actually a three-in-one tutorial that combines other ingredients along with the spice: one for skin lightening, one for deep cleansing, and another to combat acne.

10. Green Tea

Green tea isn’t just for drinking; it’s just as good for your exterior skin as it is for your inner body! This is another three-in-one for moisturizing, exfoliating, and getting rid of pesky acne. Just make sure that you let the tea cool down so that you don’t burn your face!
