How to Make a Moisturizing Face Mask

Moisturizing face masks may contain ingredients you don't want to apply to your skin. There is an option, though. You can make beneficial moisturizing facials from simple ingredients found in your own kitchen, and you'll know they're fresh and free of harmful chemicals.

Instructions

1. Puree half a cucumber in a blender with a spoonful of yogurt. Leave the moisturizing facial on your face for about 20 minutes and rinse with cool water.

2. Mix the whites of two eggs with a spoonful of oatmeal. Slather the egg white facial mask on your face and let it set for a few minutes, until the egg whites dry. Rinse your face with warm water.

3. Combine oatmeal and warm honey in equal amounts. Apply the mixture to the face and leave it for about 5 minutes. Rinse it off with warm water, and then splash on cool water. For extra moisturizing, add a teaspoon of half and half.

4. Blend a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice and a tablespoon of honey that has been warmed to room temperature. Apply the honey and lemon juice mask to the skin and leave it for about 30 minutes. Rinse your face with warm water.

5. Mix half of a ripe banana with a spoonful of honey and 2 spoonfuls of plain yogurt. Put it on your face and leave it for about 20 minutes before rinsing with cool water.

6. Mash half of a ripe avocado with a fork. Leave it on your face for about 20 minutes, and rinse it off with cool water.
