Skin Care Weekly #4: 3 Facial Masks For All Skin Types

In this post, I will be showing 5 different facial masks that you can apply to your face no matter what skin type you have. This is gonna be a long post, but I hope it's helpful. 

Pre-Step: Dampen a washcloth in warm water and let it rest on your face for about a minute. This will open up your pores.

Yogurt Facial Mask

Ingredients: 

  • 1 tablespoon of natural yogurt that can't be low-fat or nonfat
  • 1 teaspoon of honey

Step 1: Mix the yogurt and the honey together.

Step 2: Using your fingers, apply the mixture to your face. Don't pack it on, you don't want a thick layer. 

Step 3: Let the mixture set on your face for 15 minutes.

Step 4: Gently remove the mixture from your face with a warm soaked washcloth.

White Sugar Facial Mask

Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons of white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons of warm water

Step 1: Mix the sugar into the water until it dissolves.

Step 2: Apply it to the face with your fingers and gently massage it in.

Step 3: Use a warm soaked washcloth to gently remove the mask from your face.

Turmeric Facial Mask 

Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons of flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder
  • About 4 drops of honey
  • For dry skin: 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • For oily skin: 1/4 cup of plain yogurt and a few drops of lemon juice

Step 1: Combine the flour and turmeric

Step 2 For Oily Skin: Combine the lemon juice and mix. Add in the yogurt until it has a paste-like consistency. 

Step 2 For Dry Skin: Mix in the oil. Mix until you have a paste-like consistency.

Step 3: Apply to face.

Step 4: Let it set for 15 minutes.

Step 5: Since turmeric stains, remove the mask with a warm soaked face mask that you won't mind staining.
