If you enjoy pampering yourself with a facial mask once in a while, rather than buying expensive concoctions that are made up of chemicals, here are some suggestions of ways to make your own masks with common household products.
1. Mix clay cat litter, yes, cat littler, with warm water to make a thick paste. Rub it onto your face and let it set for 20 minutes. The clay cleans out your pores and detoxifies your skin.
2. Mash up a ripe banana into a paste and then apply it to your face and neck. Let it set for 15-20 minutes and then rinse it off with cold water. Believe it or not, bananas moisturize your skin and make it soft.
3. If you don’t like the idea of smearing banana all over your face, you can try honey instead. Honey also moisturizes your skin and cleans your pores.
4. Mashing egg whites together into a frothy mixture and then gently applying them to your face and neck also works well.
So, next time you want to pamper yourself, try one of these natural alternatives at home and see how it works for you. Beauty doesn’t have to cost a fortune!
