How to Make Facial Masks at Home

It is easy to learn how to make facial masks at home. Just look through your refrigerator and cabinets. Ingredients such as eggs, apple cider vinegar and carrots are rich in nutrients that clarify, nourish and heal the skin with powerful antioxidants such as Vitamin A, E and beta carotene.

Things You'll Need

• Blender
• Salt
• Egg
• Vegetable oil
• Apple cider vinegar
• Carrots
• Egg whites

Instructions

1. Make a mayonnaise mask. Get a blender, mix 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 egg. While the blender is running, slowly pour in 1 1/2 cups of any vegetable oil and then 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar.

2. The mayonnaise mask should be smooth and creamy in appearance. This consistency comes from the slow pouring of oil followed by the apple cider vinegar. It may take practice.

3. Add 1/4 cup of grated carrots if desired. Carrots are full of the antioxidant beta carotene. Adding carrots to the mayonnaise mask hydrates skin and removes dead cells.

4. Smooth either of the above mayonnaise masks over your face and let them sit for 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and give your face a final splash with cool water to close the pores.

5. For a firming facial mask, separate the white of 1 egg and spread it over the face. Allow it to dry for 20 minutes and rinse it with lukewarm water.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep all leftover facial masks in the refrigerator.

• Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse repeatedly with cool water.
