Did you know all the ingredients you need to make a all natural face mask secretly hiding in your kitchen.

No! Really they are sitting in your cupboard.


There isn't much a good face mask can't cure.


They're just as amazing at taking the stress out of a crappy day as they are at banishing unsightly parched patches, minimising pores and zapping blemishes.




We Put Together a Few DYI Recipes For You

The Pore-Obliterating Egg White Mask

1 egg whites

1 teaspoon of orange juice

1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder


Egg white proteins work great on oily skin types because this ingredient tightens pores and zaps acne-causing bacteria. Whisk it with orange juice (a dose of vitamin C) and turmeric, an herb that has brightening properties, to help even out your skin tone—but wear an old T-shirt since the powder can stain. Leave the mask on for 15 minutes and wash off the mask with water once it's dried.


The Calming Honey Mask

2 tablespoons of pure honey

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

1 wedge of fresh lemon


Warm the honey in the microwave for a few seconds, then combine it with the cinnamon and the juice of a lemon wedge into a small bowl. Cinnamon is known to reduce inflammation and redness—plus, it sops up excess oil when applied topically. Lemon acid not only helps exfoliate your skin, but can minimize the appearance of dark spots, too. Gently massage the mixture onto your face and leave on for about 15-20 minutes, then rinse off.



The Exfoliating Brown Sugar Scrub Mask

2 tablespoons of brown sugar

2 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil


Brown sugar sloughs off dead skin while coconut oil packs it with moisture. The result? A soft and glowy finish. Use equal parts brown sugar and coconut oil to form an easy scrub, apply it on your face in gentle circular motions, let it sink in for a few minutes and wash it off with warm water.




The Redness-Reducing Oatmeal Mask

2 tablespoons of raw oats

1 teaspoon of honey

1/2 of a banana


Oats are a natural, gentle exfoliator, but they're also well known for their soothing powers—perfect for a post-beach treat for your skin for when you (yikes!) forgot to put on your sunscreen. Mash it up with ripe banana to form a paste. Honey gives it some grip and also has anti-bacterial properties that relieve inflamed skin.




The Blemish-Fighting Milk Mask

2 tablespoons of honey

2 tablespoons of nutmeg

2 teaspoons of milk


Slather on this honey milk mask to treat acne-prone skin. Honey naturally kills off bacteria to prevent future breakouts and nutmeg acts as a gentle exfoliator that's great for sensitive skin. Let it sink in for 10-15 minutes before rinsing and then follow up with your favorite moisturizer.
