Homemade Face Masks Recipes For Different Skin Types

Step #1

Oily Skin Face Mask

If your skin is somewhat oily or greasy, try a yogurt or plum facial mask.

Plain or organic yogurt is a superior hydrating agent for the skin since it's loaded with lactic acid, which helps to effectively shed dead skin cells and revitalize new skin cell growth.

Plums have anti-oxidant vitamins A and C that protect your skin against free radicals and also increase skin's pliability, suppleness and overall appearance. Both of these particular vitamins are typically used in oil-control and anti-acne products for skin care.

Recipe: Poach and thoroughly strain four ripe plums, and let them cool. Mash them together and combine a few tablespoons of plain or organic yogurt, a small spoonful of sweet almond oil, and add just enough cornflour to make a workable consistency so you can easily apply it to your face. The sweet almond oil is rich with anti-microbial properties that stop bacteria from spreading which is the main culprit in acne.

Caution: This recipe is very sticky and messy!
