There's no need to rush to the store if you feel like indulging in a face mask. Store-bought facials tend to be full of chemicals anyway, and you can soothe and moisturize your face just as effectively with ingredients from your fridge! Here are four great combinations that can help deal with a variety of winter skin issues.
Avocado, Egg Yolk and Honey Mask from The Indian Spot
Mix two parts mashed avocado flesh, two parts honey and one part egg yolk in a blender to form a smooth paste. Apply to your face and rest for 30-45 minutes as it restores the moisture to your face. Rinse off. Use weekly as a Sunday night treat.
Egg White Mask from All Women's Talk
Beat an egg white until frothy and let sit for a few minutes. Apply it to your face and let dry, and relax for about 30 minutes as the mask starts feeling dry and tight, closing up your pores. Wash off with water and a warm towel.
Oatmeal, Yogurt and Honey Mask from Livestrong
Mix one part raw oatmeal, one part yogurt and one part honey. Apply to your face - being careful to not to make a mess - and rest for 15 minutes. The oatmeal exfoliates, the honey moisturizes and the yogurt works as a mild astringent to deal with pimples.
Banana Mask from All Women's Talk
Mash a banana and apply to your face. Bananas are naturally moisturizing and nourishing, so you can leave it on for 30-45 minutes to get the dry winter blues out of your skin.
