You don’t need to spend megabucks on facials or stock up on scrubs to achieve super-smooth skin. All you need is a tablespoon full of natural plain yogurt, honey, and turmeric powder. Just like milk, yogurt is filled with lactic acid that fades away rough and dead skin cells to discover new and bright ones. While honey makes skin feels soft and elastic, turmeric is useful in combating pigmentation. Mix the natural plain yogurt, honey, and turmeric all together, apply on your face and leave for 20 minutes. Then rinse with warm water and you are on your way to a more even skin tone.
#3. DIY face mask for oily skin
Chemically processed face masks for oily skin tend to be filled with ultra-striping and harsh ingredients that end up doing more damage than good. But these two tasted and trusted ingredients, egg whites and aloe vera, help in absorbing excess oil without destroying the skin.
Egg whites contain natural antibacterial properties that can help prevent clogged pores while absorbing excess oil, and aloe vera is of course an MVP in calming, soothing, and hydrating the skin. So if your skin is overproducing oil as a result of irritation, this DIY homemade face mask can help calm your skin down. All you have to do is mix the egg white with fresh aloe vera, dab onto the face, leave for 10-15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.
#4. DIY face mask to combat blackheads
Blackheads are essentially clogged pores that occur as a result of over secretion of oil and sebum. Blackheads become more vivid and take the form of dark spots and pigmentation caused by sun exposure, pollution, and lifestyle factors. To combat this problem, you need 2 teaspoons of unflavored gelatin, 1 tablespoon of mint, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix all the ingredients together, dab a thick layer over your face, leave for 20 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
