Are you a fan of natural products? Haven't found a mask that suits you yet? Or do you simply want to try your hand at cosmetics? Don't hesitate to get started!
Here are some homemade face mask recipes:
Note: once you have left your mask on, rinse it with lukewarm water then apply a moisturizing cream for a flawless result.
Purifying Mask for All Skin Types:
Mix 3 teaspoons of clay, 3 teaspoons of milk, and one teaspoon of honey.

Mask for Dry Skin:
Beat one egg yolk and 2 teaspoons of sweet almond oil (which you can buy at a pharmacy or your supermarket).
Apply the mask to your face and leave on for 15 min.
Mask for Combination Skin:

Masks to Tighten Pores:

Some Practical Tips:
-
A mask should be applied to clean and perfectly makeup-free skin.
-
Spread your mask over your entire face, avoiding the eye contour. You can also apply it to your neck.
-
Be relaxed during the application time. Beautiful skin is, above all, rested skin!
-
A tip to open pores and thereby increase the benefits of your mask: soak a small towel in hot water and place it on your face for 2 min before applying your mask.
