The Types of Face Masks

The Types of Face Masks

Tomato Mask

For oily skin,mash up a ripe tomato and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm (not hot) water.

Milk of Magnesia
Oil-Absorbing Mask

Apply it straight from the bottle. Let it dry for about five to ten minutes. Rinse off with warm water.Gently pat face dry with fluffy towel.

Ultimate Cleansing Mask

In a blender or food processor, grind 1 cup of oatmeal to a powder. Add 3 drops of almond oil, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1 egg white. Continue to blend together, and apply. Rinse off after 20 minutes.

Peach and Brandy

Mash up a peach (use ripe, canned, or frozen) and mix in a tablespoon of brandy. Leave it on for 20 minutes, and rinse off.

Banana Mask

Mash up a very ripe banana. Add just enough honey to make a soft pulp.Apply over face and hair.This is such a great firming mask that aging movie stars have been known to put it in the cups of their bras to make their breasts “perky.” Just make sure that you don’t add too much honey, and that you use a sturdy bra. I recently did a TV show where I attempted to use a lacy bra. Needless to say, it was a little messy!

Honey Mask

Apply pure honey (straight from the bottle) to your face and neck. Allow it to set until dry (about 15 minutes). Rinse with very warm water.

Pepto-Bismol

This is a face mask particularly suited for those with sensitive skin. In the same way that this product coats the stomach, it gently caresses the face. Apply it straight from the bottle with a cotton swab. Allow it to dry and rinse with cool water. It’s as refreshing as a cool summer breeze.

Some more Secret Tips:

To Revitalize and Nourish the Skin

Soak whole dried beans or lentils (fresh are best) overnight. Mash and add a small amount of honey.Apply over face and neck. Leave it on for about 5 minutes and rinse with tepid water.

Tone Up Tired Skin

Make up a smooth pulp of crushed cucumbers, and gently pat all over face and neck. Pull up your hair and apply a little bit behind the ears and behind the neck.This facial is absolutely fabulous for oily skin and clogged pores. Mix 1/4 cup vodka with the juice of one fresh lemon. Dab it on the face, neck, and chest area with a cotton swab. It’s not necessary to rinse off.Let the air evaporate it. The less rubbing that you do to the face the better.
