Top natural masks

While it’s complicated to replicate a shampoo or a moisturizer at home, masks are simply crying out to be homemade. Make sure you use fresh, organic ingredients and store the mask in the fridge only for a week. If making a mask from fresh fruit, vegetables, and milk or yogurt, prepare them as needed and keep in the fridge for no longer than twenty-four hours. Do not freeze masks.
To preserve the mask for longer storage, you will need to add a least 500 mg of vitamin C and several drops of colloidal silver or grapefruit seed oil, although this last ingredient may irritate your skin.

Ozone Aloe Whitening Mask

1/2 peeled, sliced cucumber.
2 tablespoons plain aloe juice.
1 tablespoon condensed milk.
1 tablespoon honey.

Yield

5 ounces

The name of this mask comes from the fresh, sea-breezy scent of a fresh cucumber. I recommend using organic cucumber in this mask. When you start using organic fruits and vegetables in your home cosmetics, you will be amazed how rich and vivid the scents are. Experts say that the concentration of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals is higher in organic veggies, too.
1. Blend the cucumber in a blender or food processor. Add the aloe juice, milk, and honey.
2. If the mask is too runny, add some kaolin clay until the mask forms a comfortably thick paste.
3. Apply to clean, dry face and leave on for 15 minutes or until dry. Gently wash off with tepid water.

Lemon Cheesecake Whitening Mask

2 tablespoons honey.
4 teaspoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed).
3 teaspoons plain yogurt.
1 egg white.

Yield

4 ounces

In this mask, the antibacterial properties of honey are boosted with the antifungal and whitening properties of lemon. Both lemon and yogurt work as excellent natural peels, helping fade post acne marks. Egg white adds proteins that help strengthen the skin’s own defenses, while lemon and vanilla create a comforting, soothing cocoon while you linger with the mask in your bath. You can store this mask in the fridge and use it up within one week.
1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until the mask thickens.
2. Apply to clean, dry face and let set for 15 minutes. Gently wash off with warm water.

Clay Your Eggs Mask

2 tablespoons white clay.
1 tablespoon corn flour.
1 organic free-range egg white.
1 drop chamomile oil.

Yield

5 ounces

This mask works as a temporary lift while deep-cleansing and drawing out impurities from the skin. It is most suitable when you can use additional nutrition for your skin.
1. Blend the ingredients in a china bowl. Mix well to dissolve the egg white completely.
2. Apply to clean, dry face. If the paste is too thick, dilute the mixture with freshly brewed chamomile tea. Allow to dry and wash off with tepid water.

Kinky Oatmeal Mask

1 ounce purified mineral water.
3 tablespoons plain organic oatmeal.
1 medium onion, peeled.

Yield

4 ounces

Onion acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and inhibits the overproduction of collagen in acne scars, while oatmeal penetrates deeply into pores, cleansing the excessive cell buildup and clogged pores.
1. Boil the water and pour it over the oatmeal, letting it steep for five minutes.
2. Finely grind the onion in a food processor, making a smooth puree. Add it to the oatmeal while it is still warm.
3. If the mask is not thick enough, add some honey or green clay until the mask is thick enough to sit comfortably on your face. Store the mask in the fridge for one week.Green Beauty Recipes
