Ask yourself: "Are all the beauty products (the creams, ointments, and moisturizers) really doing what they promised"? If you feel like you are just flushing your money down the toilet with this stuff, then you are not alone. But there is a solution and it is in your kitchen!
Think of your most delicious staples -Strawberries, banana, oil, milk, honey, maybe even papaya? Each of these simple and delicious ingredients provides a great base for many simple and effective home masks recipes. Their vitamins, minerals and special enzymes will leave your skin younger-looking, brighter, and smoother than you'd imagine!
So say bon voyage to so-called "professional" skin care products and the 5 common skin problems they claim to fix with these simple and NATURAL, at home masks recipes.
Oily skin
Many of us have been here yet few have found a relaxing, natural solution to solve this problem. If you are in the oily skin boat, an at home mask applied twice a week can help cleanse your pores and remove impurities that help future breakouts.
Try this simple recipe for the common problem of oily skin. It is known as the Breakfast Mask because of its early morning ingredients. Combine an egg yolk, a tablespoon of olive oil, a tablespoon of honey, and a half of a cup of oatmeal until they form a workable paste. Apply to the face, let it sit for 20 minutes, rinse with warm water and enjoy the bright face in the mirror smiling back at you!
Blackheads
This common acne relative has had its day! Blackheads mostly come as result of hair follicles getting clogged and causing those annoying black spots on the scalp line and any other place they see fit. Well it's time to take charge and this oatmeal face mask recipe is just the thing.
Because blackheads are so persistent, this at home oatmeal mask can easily become part of your regular cleansing and moisturizing routine. It mixes just the right amount of egg whites, essential oils, and parsley of all things to send those blackheads packing!
To try it for yourself start out by boiling half a cup of water and put in a small clump of dried parsley at any point. After the water has reached boiling point, turn off the heat and let the parsley steep for a couple minutes. Then strain out the parsley and combine the infused water with about a half cup of oatmeal, 1 egg white, and a few essential oils of your choosing.
If you are just not seeing the results you are looking for, take it up a notch with baking soda. Simply combine a ¼ cup of baking soda with enough water to form a good paste. Then spread it over your face and let it sit for 10 minutes. Keep this routine up with applications twice a week and those blackheads will be shown the door!
Uneven skin patches
Maybe you are concerned about some sun spots that have shown up over the years or are just miffed at that uneven skin tone. In either case, this fantastic papaya and honey mask is sure to lighten and even your skin tone! Mix 2 tablespoons of honey with a half a cup of mashed, but very ripe, papaya in a smooth paste. Apply this to your face and let it sit for nearly 20 minutes. Rinse with cool water and observe the evenness!
Dry skin
Getting some sun is good for your health but it is easy to go overboard. One result of overexposure is, of course, dry skin. But there is a natural solution and this avocado at home mask recipe is just the ticket.
Avocado is rich in vitamins B and E, and is an amazing moisturizer. Remove the peel and mash a medium sized piece, then add 4 drops almond oil. Continue mashing and once you have a very smooth mixture, apply to the face and let it sit for a half hour. You may never go back to expensive, and intensive, store-bought moisturizers!
Dead skin cells
Sometimes your greatest skin care problem is too much dead skin. To remove these gross hangers on, you need an effective exfoliant.
This exfoliating at home mask recipe uses pineapple. This delicious fruit contains a small enzyme that makes dead skin cells just slide off and gets deep into your pores to remove impurities.
To try it for yourself, combine 4 healthy sized pineapple pieces with 3 tablespoons of olive oil (extra virgin if you please). Do this in a blender because that is what will give you the extra smooth paste we are looking for. Apply it to the face and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Now...how does that feel?
Just as I hope you would not expect overnight results with a store-bought regimen, don't expect them here either. But if you add these great at home masks recipes into your routine, you are sure to see some beautiful results. Just don't forget that beautiful skin comes from a lot of sources, so stay healthy, happy, and well rested.
