Beauty Recipe Day Homemade Peel - Off Mask!!

A homemade facial mask for oily skin can help clean your pores, cut down on break outs, and make your complexion look less shiny and oily. Here are some tips to keep in mind before you use a homemade facial for your oily skin. 1. It’s best to use a homemade facial mask soon after you make it. However, if you have extra, you can keep most of these masks in the refrigerator for up to a week. 2. You shouldn’t leave a mask on any longer than instructed. 3. Those with oily skin should use a mask at least twice a month. 4. While you’re waiting to remove your facial mask, take the time to relax. Lie down and close your eyes. Read a chapter of that book you’ve been meaning to get to. Whatever you find restful. 5. Those with oily skin should wash their faces two or three times a day with oil-free cleanser. 6. A good toner for oily skin is fresh lemon juice. Use a cotton ball to apply the juice to your entire face. 7. If you have oily skin, you should use an oil-free moisturizer. Cucumber and Yogurt Facial Mask for Oily skin Not only is cucumber soothing to your skin, it is purported to reduce wrinkles. Clean and peel one cucumber. Put half of it in a food processor or blender. Add about 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt. Blend the mixture until smooth. Apply the cucumber yogurt mask to your entire face, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for ten to fifteen minutes, then remove mask with lukewarm water. Strawberry and Yogurt Facial Mask for Oily Skin The yogurt will naturally exfoliate your oily skin. Place four ripe, clean strawberries in a bowl. Use a fork to smash the strawberries. Add a teaspoon of plain yogurt and stir until the mixture is smooth. Apply the mixture to your face, and leave on for ten to fifteen minutes. Remove mask with lukewarm water. Lemon and Oatmeal Facial Mask for Oily Skin Lemon will help tighten and tone your oily skin. In a blender or food processor, blend one cup of oatmeal, one teaspoon lemon juice, and one tablespoon plain yogurt. Apply the mixture to your face, leaving on for ten to fifteen. Then rinse off with warm water. Apple and Honey Facial Mask for Oily Skin Honey is a natural astringent that will also help to tighten your oily skin. Add one apple (peeled, seeded, and cut into slices) into a blender or food processor. Add three tablespoons of honey. Blend the mixture well. Apply to face and leave on for ten to fifteen minutes. Then, rinse with warm water. To Deal With Blackheads Blackheads are common in those with oily skin. To help deal with them, mix two or three tablespoons of baking soda with an equal amount of water in a bowl. Apply the mixture to your face, and gently massage it into your skin for about three minutes. Then, rinse face with warm water.

Wow this is a great money-saver. I can't wait to see the blackheads peeled off by the mask.

Thank you, I will try this soon. I like to save money and also making things at home so I know what is in them, especially thing that are going on my face!

I love homemade beaty treatments. Often they are even better than commercial treatments. I have tried this years ago but have forgetten about it. Thanks for reminding me. I will try it tomorrow night. All these ingredients are great for your complexion. Thanks again for the beauty treatment.

a homemade facial mask ...how cool is that ...I have so many skin cancers on my face I can't use a scrubbie ...i wonder how this would work ...I am going to try it on my neck first ans then see if I can use this on my face ...if so this will be wonderful ...thanks for such a useable idea ...lol

Sounds great! I will be sure to try it and then return here to let you know how it went for me :)

Very interesting. I have never made a peel off masque at home, but have made some scrubs and soothing masques my self. I like things that have a lot of vitamin A, so I like things with apricot. Thanks for posting.

This is very good. Great idea. I will try it tonight. Thanks

Wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing this mask recipe..I will try it tomorrow. I only have flavoured gelatin so I should buy unflavoured one.

This is great. Not only easy to mix up and apply, but cheap too. There should be more of this, as often homemade treatments are just as effective as purchased treatments.

hey kathy77, its really good thing you shared this homemade mask with us, i will really try this out, most imporatant about homemade mask is these are really effective as made by fresh ingredients as well as cheaper than whta we get in store, really good one, keep posting such stuff!!!

You can use basic ingredients found around the house to make your own simple, hydrating masks. If you have oily or acne prone skin, mud or clay-based masks are great for balancing out your skin. Dry skin will benefit from hydrating masks made from glycerin, honey and oils. Ginseng or green tea masks are great for soothing skin. Masks (homemade or otherwise) should stay on for 10-15 minutes, should follow with a cleansing and a thin layer of moisturizer. Here are recipes we've gathered over the years. Homemade Clay Mask for All Skin Types 1½ tsp green clay (French is preferred) ½ tsp kaolin clay 1½ tbsp aloe vera gel 1 tbsp rosewater 2 drops rose essential oil Mix green and kaolin clays together. Add in the aloe vera gel, rosewater and oils. Refrigerate mixture for up to four weeks. Simple Homemade Face Mask for All Skin Types 1 tbsp natural yogurt, room temperature (not lowfat or non-fat) 1 tsp runny honey (see recipe above to get honey 'runny') Apply mixture to face, let sit for 15 minutes.

This is a very nice info... fit to my budget... thanx kathy!

I will definetely try this, sounds really good! I love this kind of "home made treatments" and I am always willing to try new things... Thanks for sharing!!!
