1.For Dry Skin

Winter really has a bad effect on the skin, especially for those with dry skin. It cracks ,dries and flakes the skin , due to the windy and cold chill air that we go through. It's always best to make sure that your skin is getting the right treatment. Here is a few D.I.Y, mask you can make yourself at home for so much less.


Tomato and Honey Mask

This mask is known to help brighten your skin and fight against acne, leaving your skin smooth and clear. Cut up a slice of tomato and mix it with a little bit of honey. Its optional to put it in a blender to make it more smoother. Once a paste has formed, apply this on face leaving it on for 15 minutes , then wash it off.

You can even leave this mask on for overnight and wash it off in the morning, placing a towel on your pillow case of course to not get things messy, but it works really well too when left on for a long time.

Oats and Honey Mask

This mask is great for moisturizing dry skin and very easy to make. Mix equal parts of honey and oats until a thick paste is formed. Apply evenly to the face while gently scrubbing in circular motion Leave on for 15 minutes and wash off for smooth and moistrurized skin.

2. For Oily Skin


Now oily skin is one that I struggle with most. Oily skin tends to clog pores and are more prone to acne so its always good to find cleansers and mask that will help tone out your skin and avoid  getting clogged pores. These are a few masks that I have tried before and actually do work. Oily skin can be identified , if you appear oily even after applying makeup, and if your skin still appears oily within an hour of washing your face.

Banana, Lemon and Honey Mask

Nourishes and hydrates the skin, absorbs and retains moisture and exfoliates dead skin cells.

Mix in about 3 tbs. of banana , 1/2 tsp. of honey, and a few drops of lemon juice until they form a smooth paste. Apply it to face and neck avoiding the eye area for 15-20 minutes and rinse with cool water.Use this face mask once a week.

Strawberries, Lemon,Yogurt and Egg white Mask

Mix about 8 strawberries(cut in half),1 tbs. of yogurt (plain), 1 egg white and a few drops of lemon.Mash the strawberries with a fork and beat the egg white until it becomes foamy, then mix this in with the yogurt and lemon drops until they become a smooth paste. Apply to face for 15 minutes, avoiding the eye area and rinse with lukewarm water.

This mask cleanses and close pores, exfoliate and nourishes the skin and removes sebum. Use this once a week.

3. Normal Skin

People with normal skin are those whom, I like to call lucky. since your epidermis has a fine texture and are able to maintain a harmony between oily and dry skin. Here are a few D.I.Y mask to help you maintain and get your clear skin.
