Skin Mask Recipe for Acne Treatment - Part 2

Masks have been used by women for centuries to either hydrate, soothe or remove oils from the skin. Peoples from different regions tried different materials to make their masks. For instance, people in Egypt used mud and clay while Europeans used milk and raw egg.

It is common to divide the types of facial masks into two different groups. There are the masks designed to hydrate the skin and there are those designed to promote blood flow and tighten the skin. An exfoliating product is usually applied to the skin and washed off. But a mask product is actually applied and left on for a 10 to 15 minute period to allow it to work. Follow this with a layer of moisturizer.

Below are some recipes that you can try at home with assurance that you are using only the best that nature has to offer – because it’s directly from nature! If you have a food allergy to any of the ingredients then forgo that recipe and move on to the next.

Use a mask directly after having exfoliated. The exfoliation will cleanse the outer skin and remove all dead skin cells before you plump, hydrate or soothe the new cells beneath.
