    There isn’t much better out there for your skin than a good old face mask can’t cure or spirit away. They can be the loving shoulder at the end of a tough day or an active part of a skin rejuvenation routine to zap problem skin, trouble patches and blemishes away.

    You can turn to store face masks or an indulgent trip to the spa for a face mask … or experience the same benefits from the confines of your favourite chair or spot in the garden.

    Join us as we look at the best homemade face mask recipes that work wonders for your skin!

    Homemade Balance Dry Skin Face Mask

    Clay mask

    Dry skin can be quite a troublesome foe. Give it the cold shoulder with this DIY face mask recipe that balances the moisture in your skin. Clay-based and supercharged with honey and lavender oil, the aromatic scent is relaxing for the nervous system and bouts of insomnia.

    Hyper Pigmentation Face Mask

    Soothe Irritating Skin Face Mask

    Soothing face mask
    If your skin is easily irritated by city pollution and the general wear and tear of the day, this soothing face mask can help comfort the skin and combat redness.

    The deep hydration, antioxidants and soothing properties come from coconut oil, honey and lavender oil. These ingredients hold essential fatty acids that add moisture and suppleness to the skin. And the end result is a spa-like face mask.

    • 2-3 drops of lavender oil
    • 1 tsp of honey

    How to make:

    • Massage the mix into your face and leave for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off the face mask with warm water

    DIY Face Mask for Sensitive Skin

    Yoghurt mask
    If you experience regular bouts of redness, you can’t beat a yoghurt-based face mask. It is packed with probiotics and proteins that soothe the skin.

    The cocoa powder is backed with Flavanols, which calm irritation. And on top of that, honey’s wonder ingredient tightens the skin for a finished glow-up.

    Ingredients:

    • 1 tbsp yoghurt
    • 1 tsp cocoa powder
    • 1 tsp of honey

    How to make:

    • Mix the ingredients until they form a paste
    • This should take no longer than 30 seconds to one minute
    • Massage the mix into your face, ensure you get full coverage and leave for 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

    Vinegar Skin Toner Face Mask

    ACV skin mask
    Face masks and vinegar have been working together since the days of Helen of Troy. Vinegar is a popular ingredient through the ages; vinegar helps tone the skin and clean and tighten the surface.

    Ingredients:

    • ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar
    • ¼ cup of water

    How to make:

    • Mix the ingredients and apply the finished solution to the face
    • Massage the mix into your face, making sure you get full coverage
    • Leave it to dry for 10 minutes before wiping it off with warm water.

    DIY Hydrating Skin Face Mask

    Oat face mask
    It can be hard to find moisture for those of you who suffer from flaky and dry skin. This homemade face mask might sound like a breakfast recipe, but it’s not for eating.

    The honey helps the skin retain moisture and helps with the appearance of scars by healing and activating tissue regeneration. The oats are great at nourishing and soothing the skin, whilst the avocado leaves the skin feeling smooth as ever.

    Ingredients:

    • Handful of oats
    • ½ avocado
    • 1 tbsp of honey

    How to make:

    • Mix and mash the ingredients together until they form a paste.
    • Massage the mix into your face and leave for 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

    Homemade Face Mask for Uneven Skin

    Don’t worry about expensive facials and tubs and tubs of scrubs to improve your uneven skin texture and toner anymore, you can do it all at home!

    This yoghurt-based face mask lifts the skin’s surface, brightening it. The added honey smooths the skin and fights against pockets of pigmentation.

    Ingredients:

    • 1 tbsp of natural plain yoghurt
    • 1 tbsp of turmeric powder
    • 1 tbsp of honey

    How to make:

    DIY Acne Buster Face Mask

    acne skin mask
    There’s nothing more infuriating than acne. Well, maybe clusters of acne, but you get the point.

    This do-it-yourself face mask is good at combating whiteheads, blackheads and acne because the Manuka can zap bacteria away whilst the turmeric soothes the redness. Turmeric is also anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial, which means it can reduce infection. The end result is clear and impressive skin.

    Ingredients:

    • ½ tsp of Dead Sea salt
    • 1 tbsp of turmeric powder
    • 1 tbsp of Manuka honey

    How to make:

    • Mix the ingredients until they form a paste
    • Use a brush to apply it gently on the face and in areas of high acne, blackheads and whiteheads
    • Leave for 10-15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

    Homemade Cooling Mask for Oily Skin

    cooling skin mask
    This homemade face mask hydrates the skin and reduces break-out activity with its richness in vitamin C. The added avocado manages the oil levels in your skin and reduces inflammation. It is great for hydrated and dehydrated skin because it is water-based due to the cucumber.

    Ingredients:

    • ½ avocado
    • ¼ cucumber (blended)

    How to make:

    • Mix the ingredients until they form a paste
    • Apply on the face, getting good coverage and all of the T-zone
    • Leave for 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

    Do it yourself!
