DIY Face & Body Masks

Most beauty companies produce dear  facial treatments with elements that are hard to pronounce. Others make facial as well as body treatments with natural oils as well adiy-face-body-masks-200X200s vegetables that are fairly simple to reproduce yourself on a limited or no budget. Women have been keeping their skin soft and supple for centuries with do-it-yourself home facials and body treatments that are fairly easy to make.
1. Chop up half of an avocado flesh and mash it. Stir it with some water until it has formed a paste. Apply this to your skin (face or body). Leave it on for about 15 to 18 minutes and then remove with warm water.
Egg White Mask
2. Apply this mixture to your face for 18 minutes to dry up excess oil. Whisk one egg white until stiff and add six drops of witch hazel and six drops of lemon juice. Apply until it dries on your face, soaking up all of the excess oil.
Make Your Skin Tighter
3. Mix one peach and one egg white in a blender until smooth. Apply the mixture on your face and let it sit for 18 minutes. Rinse with cool water for a smoother and tighter face.
Relief for Irritated Skin
4. For relief from sunburned or irritated skin (do not use on cuts, however), mix 1/3 cup of oatmeal and 2 cup of cold natural yogurt. Apply the mask to the affected area and let it sit for 20 minutes. Run a wash cloth or paper towel under hot water and let it sit for a few moments before using it to remove the mask.
Dry Skin Relief
5. Mix half of an avocado (peeling away the skin first) with 2 oz. of orange juice, 2 tsp. of honey, 2 tsp. of molasses and five drops of chamomile oil. Spread the mask on your face (it can be used on other parts of the body that are affected by dry skin as well) and let sit for 30 minutes. Remove with warm water and a slightly rough wash cloth (such as flannel or cotton).
The Beauty Bible Mask
6. Based on the book “The Beauty Bible” by Paula Begoun, applying a bottle of milk of magnesia to oily or acne prone skin for 18 minutes will help treat your skin. Remove the mask with cool water.
