With only 2 ingredients, these recipes are pretty much hassle free and will get you the perfect skin in ultimately no time. 

These face masks will help with various skin concerns :

Brightening skin

Coconut milk and Tomato 

Coconut milk contains high levels of vitamin C and E, directly helping with skin brightness and maintaining skin elasticity, flexibility . Tomatoes also have vitamin lycopene, an antioxidant to even out skin tone and boost skin radiance.

Bonus: Tomatoes are antibacterial as well to help prevent breakout and acne

Oily Skin

Raw honey and Tumeric 

Often people with oily skin lack hydration, from excess sebum production. Here, raw honey contains B3 and B6 comes to the rescue to moisturize skin. It also has antibacterial properties to maintain regular oil production. Turmeric has antimicrobial properties, balances sebum production and prevents clogging pores . Use tumeric in moderation as turmeric may leave stains on the face ( 2 times a week maximum). Also make a thicker raw honey paste to minimise staining 

Acne control

Lemon juice and cinnamon

Lemon juice contains ascorbic acid (aka Vitamin C). It instantly soothes inflammation and directly reduces acne. Citric acid can also unclog pores as well as slightly exfoliate skin. Cinnamon is also antimicrobial, to fight against acne causing bacteria 

 

 Clogged pores

Activated charcoal and aloe vera water 

Incorporating charcoal into my face care routines since I was young, this has definitely helped with my pores. Not only does it remove dirt and toxins (the disgusting gunk!), it also draws out the oil! It is also a gentle exfoliant to remove dead skin cells. Aloe Vera helps to soothe and hydrate the skin from the charcoal.

Glowing skin

Yogurt and raw honey 

The yogurt contains traces of lactic acid, acting as a mild exfoliant. Creates new skin cells quicker to allow better moisture absorption. Raw honey locks in the moisture, through being a humectant. This mask is one of the best DIY glass skin face masks out there, for all KBeauty lovers – this once is for you.

 

 Deep clean

Bentonite clay and vinegar rose water 

Bentonite clay helps efficiently cleanse the skin and remove impurities, but heals the skin simultaneously to nourish the healing process. Vinegar rose water balances the skin pH and kills bacteria, while rose water soothes and refreshes the skin. 

Blackhead removal

Egg white and lemon juice

I do admit sometimes smothering leftover egg white on my face after baking sometimes. Egg whites can directly tighten pores and remove the blackheads. They can effectively remove the oily sheen from the face. Lemon juice speeds up the unplugging process once again. 

 

 Anti-aging

Egg white and yogurt

Egg Whites often can make skin more elastic and prevent wrinkles and fine lines. It removes the oily sheen.  Yogurt helps with cell production rate and exfoliates the skin.

 

 Healthy skin

Jojoba oil and wild turmeric

Jojoba oil is one of the best remedies to balance oil production, due to its nature of resembling human sebum. Turmeric does miracles for the skin. It is anti-inflammatory and has antioxidant properties to boost skin health. Rich in phytonutrients, it can act as a shield from free radicals preventing cell damage. It also does a great job curing inflamed, damaged skin to prevent premature aging. 

 

Remarks

Remember that although these natural remedies are beneficial, remember that everyone has a different skin composition. In the case if you have allergic skin reactions, please wash off the product! I have tested all homemade face mask concoctions with my inner wrist, and I would suggest that you do the same. At the end of the day, if you have persistent skin concerns, it would be the best to visit a dermatologist for seeking professional advice.
