Before you start collecting ingredients and preparing your homemade facial mask, let me present you:

4 RULES OF USING FACIAL MASKS FOR BEST EFFECTS

1.  The best time of a day for applying facial masks is afternoon, around 6:00 PM, which is before your skin launches its self-healing processes.
2. Wash your face thoroughly, use a cleansing foam or gel and then put on the facial mask. Don’t skip this step.
3. Actually, you will get even better effects if you remove dead skin cells first, therefore use a facial scrub before putting on a mask.
4. When you remove facial mask, wipe your face with a tonic to balance skin pH levels.

Okay, I guess that’s all. Now let’s move on to

THE BEST DIY FACIAL MASKS

1. DIY Parsley Facial Mask

You’ll need:

• a handful of parsle
• 2 spoons cottage cheese
• a spoon olive oil or jojoba oil

This facial mask soothes skin, unclogs pores and delivers a huge amount of vitamin C. Oh, and it adds back moisture too. Additionally, this parsley facial mask has an antioxidative effect and leaves skin brighter.

Chop parsley and mix it with cottage cheese. Yummy! Spread it over clean skin and remove after 15-20 minutes.

2. DIY Yeast Facial Mask

This home facial mask is a life-saver for acne-prone skin because it alleviates various types of inflammation. When used on a regular basis, it will improve your skin visibly. You can drink yeast for clear skin and thick hair.

Combine the ingredients and apply the brown mask to the skin. Remove with lukewarm water after 20 minutes.

3. DIY Activated Charcoal Facial Mask

You’ll need:

• 2-3 tablets activated charcoal
• a teaspoon of natural yogurt

Perfect for clogged pores and oily skin with blackheads.

Smash the tablets and combine the black powder with yogurt. Remove from the face after 15 minutes.

4. DIY Apple & Honey Facial Mask

You’ll need:

• an apple
• a tablespoon honey
• a tablespoon natural yogurt

Use this facial mask to balance skin’s pH levels, even out skin tone and brighten up discolorations. The acids an apple has remove dead skin cells and reveal younger-looking skin. Honey brings relief to inflammation.

Grate an apple and combine it with honey and yogurt. Let it do its thing for 20 minutes and rinse.

5. DIY Lemon & Apple Facial Mask

• an apple

This mask is a kind of home enzymatic peel. It can help you get rid of dead skin cells and leave your skin clearer. It also deals with discolorations.

Peel the apple and grate it. Squeeze the juice. Combine lemon juice with the grated apple and apply to the face. Remove after 15 minutes.

6. DIY Egg Yolk Facial Mask

• just an egg yolk

Perfect for dry skin because it nourishes and moisturizes, soothes irritated skin that lacks water.

Before spreading egg yolk over your face, I’d suggest doing a steam facial first. Then apply the yolk and let it sit for 30 minutes. Rinse with water.
