You can even make them and use them with that man in your life. After all, men nowadays are giving us competition in the skincare department.

Ancient Beauty Masks

Back in ancient Egypt, people used some natural homemade beauty masks like exfoliators made from aloe very and sand. The Chinese, who saw beauty as a direct link to nature, used beauty masks made from jellyfish and seaweed.

As for the Greeks, who we believe were the first to invent beauty masks, used something called toilet beauty mask. Greek women during the Victorian era wore these beauty masks every time they went to sleep. The toilet mask, patented by a woman named Madame Rowley, was made of some Indian rubber and its purpose was to beautify and treat skin pigmentation.

Simple and Natural Homemade Beauty Masks

There are quite a number of natural homemade beauty masks out there. I guess what you really have to know before coming up with your own natural beauty masks is what each ingredient does to your skin. These homemade beauty masks I am sharing with you are for getting rid of scars, skin tightening, anti-aging, and for giving a wow radiance to the skin.

Scar treatment beauty masks

Mix 1 table spoon of honey with 1/2 tea spoon of turmeric and apply on your face. Make sure the face is clean of all make-up and impurities before applying. Give it 15 minutes then rinse off. Use twice or three times a week. With time you will notice a reduction in the visibility of the scarring.

Skin tightening homemade beauty masks

This is one of my favorite and most simple of all my natural homemade beauty masks. Simply take an egg white and apply on a clean face and neck. Wait for it to dry then rinse off. You can also tweak it a little bit by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice and a few drops of Vitamin E essential oil to the mixture.

Wrinkle reduction homemade beauty masks

Get a ripe avocado, 2 tablespoons of natural yogurt and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Blend the ingredients together then apply on your face and neck. Wait for about 5 minutes then rinse it off. You can repeat on a daily basis then change to two or three times a week.

Radiant and smoothing homemade beauty masks

You’ll need about 5 tablespoons of milk, 2 teaspoons of oatmeal, and 3 tablespoons of natural honey. Make a paste with the ingredients then apply on the face. Leave it on for 20 minutes then rinse with warm water. You can call this a quick-fix skin treatment which you can do whenever you need to have a glowing face or have an event that needs your graceful presence.

Exfoliating homemade beauty masks

Thoroughly mix 1 tablespoon of natural yogurt with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar then apply it on your face and neck. Use your fingers to gently massage the mixture on your skin for three minutes. Leave it on for 15 minutes more then rinse it.

Like the Editor here always says, we all have different types of skins and whatever works for me might not work for you. Also, before trying out any of these natural homemade beauty masks, test it for any allergies you might have. And when you start on these beauty masks, be patient when it comes to seeing results because Rome was not built in a day.
