DIY face masks

Face masks lighten, tighten, cleanse, and moisturize your face. They are also relaxing and leave your skin feeling nice and soft.

Egg white mask: This mask is moisturizing as well as soothing. Take two egg whites and mix it with two tablespoons of plain yogurt. Make sure it that it is plain. After these are mixed together, apply to your face and neck area and let it sit for 5-10 min. Once it is dry, rinse it off with warm water. Your skin should feel soft and replenished.

Sugar Scrub: Don't ever use salt on your skin, because it will tear your skin, not exfoliate it. Exfoliating scrubs like this help to get rid of all the bad things on your face to make room for the good. Stir two tablespoons of sugar (white or brown) into 3 tablespoons of warm water. Wait until partially dissolved. You still want some granules in the water so that you can use them to exfoliate. Take the mixture and gently massage into your face. Let this sit until completely dry, and rinse off. Then moisturize.

There are other foods and liquids that you can put on your face by themselves and will also improve your skin. Lemon juice brightens, tightens, and clears your skin. Apple cider also clears your skin. Milk moisturizes your skin, which is why yogurt is also good for your skin. Whenever you finish using a mask, take a wash cloth with cool water on it and put it on your face. You want to close your pores so nothing else can come into them.
As always,
