How To Make A Face Mask

A popular option is a milk and honey face mask, which is used to combat dry skin. The honey content will help your skin retain moisture, while the milk should soothe irritated skin. Stir 4 tablespoons of powdered milk together with 2 tablespoons of warm water and 2 tablespoons of honey. Then carefully apply the mix to your face, being sure to keep it out of your eyes or mouth. Lay a warm, damp washcloth across your face for about 10 minutes. Use the washcloth to wipe the mixture off your face, then pat it dry [source: Woman's Day].


To combat oily skin while firming your pores, you might want to try this pore-tightening egg mask. Whip the whites of two eggs into a light foam. Spread a thin layer of the foam to your face. Allow the foam to become firm, then simply rinse the mask away [source: Lustig].


Green tea has long been thought of as an anti-aging tool. Making a face mask with the tea might help prevent or reduce the look of wrinkles. Dissolve a single teaspoon of green tea powder into a half teaspoon of water so you're left with a thin, smooth paste. Spread the paste across your face, allow it to sit for about 10 minutes and then rinse away [source: VivaWoman].


We all know exfoliation is key, so try this tomato facial to do just that. Puree one ripe tomato with a teaspoon each of lemon juice and instant oatmeal. Spread the mixture across your face, allowing it to set for about 20 minutes. Then rinse away to reveal fresh skin [source: Myers].
