A facelift is an extremely invasive medical procedure that can make the face look younger. However, a facelift mask that will tighten the skin temporarily is easy to make at home with no risk or recovery period. Anyone can make the mask out of a few ordinary ingredients from the kitchen.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Take ΒΌ cup of a heavy whipped cream. A fat-free substitute will not work as well.

  2. Step 2

    Peel a banana and mash it until it has a very soft consistency. Mix the mashed banana with the whipped cream.

  3. Step 3

    Mix in a capsule of vitamin E. These are available at drug stores, beauty stores and some grocery stores in the skin care aisle. The vitamin E is a liquid and will mix well with the other two ingredients. Use the entire capsule and stir the three items together. You can blend the mixture if you have trouble getting a consistent texture.

  4. Step 4

    Use your hands or a face cloth to spread the mixture onto your skin. It can be used on the face and neck with good results. The mixture should be spread thick enough so that it penetrates the skin, but not so thick that it will drip off the face. Leave the mask on the skin for 15 minutes or longer if you feel your skin needs it.

  5. Step 5

    Remove the facelift mask with gentle, circular motions using a warm, moist towel. Rubbing the skin too vigorously can cause breakouts.
