Homemade Organic Face Masks

Natural ingredients can be used to make effective facial masks.

Facial masks are used to rejuvenate, smooth and hydrate your skin. Though you can purchase facial masks from the store, these can be pricey and the ingredients are often far from organic. You can make a simple, organic face mask at home using only two simple ingredients. It's a great way to give your skin a refreshing pick-me-up.

Things You'll Need

• 2 Eggs
• 2 Tbsp. plain organic yogurt
• Small mixing bowl

Instructions

1. Separate the egg whites from two eggs, saving the yolk for later use. Put the two egg whites into a small mixing bowl.

2. Add two tablespoons of plain organic yogurt to the egg whites.

3. Stir until thoroughly blended.

4. Apply the mixture to your skin using your fingers. Cover your face in a thin, even layer and allow to dry for 15 minutes.

5. Gently remove using warm water and a soft wash cloth. Allow your skin to air dry.

Tips & Warnings

• Apply a facial mask twice a month to keep your skin soft and healthy.
