DIY Face Masks for Dry Skin

We all have this problem at some time in our life: dry skin. Especially during the winter months, our skin can get dry and dehydrated. So we need to take a bit of extra time to put that moisture back into our skin. But have no fear! I'm here to help you out! Try these DIY face masks so get natural, beautiful, and glowing skin.

Milk Mask

Milk is very hydrating for your skin and is sure to leave it soft and moisturized. 

All you need for this mask is milk and baking soda. Mix together two tablespoons of milk and one and a half tablespoons of baking soda. 

Rub this on your face in circular motions with clean hands. Rub this all over your face for about one to two minutes and then leave it on your skin for about three more minutes before rinsing with warm water.

Banana Mask

Banana's deeply hydrate your skin if used properly. This mask is good for those of you that want a deep moisturizing mask for eczema or just insanely dry skin.

Mash up half a banana with a tablespoon of honey, a teaspoon of milk, a quarter of a teaspoon of cinnamon, and a tablespoon of coconut oil.

Make sure the mixture is mashed together and mixed well and then apply to your skin with a facial brush or cloth (Or your hands if you want to get messy!) and leave it on for about thirty minutes.

The banana, honey, milk, and coconut oil will moisturize your skin; the cinnamon will even out your skin tone, plump up your skin to look healthier and minimize lines and grooves, improve acne, help with eczema, and fight infections.

If you have a lot of allergies, be careful using cinnamon on your face.

Coconut Mask

This mask is mainly made of coconut oil, a very nourishing and hydrating oil for the skin.

All you need to do for this mask is combine two tablespoons of coconut oil, a teaspoon of olive oil, and a few drops of tea-tree essential oil.

Leave this on your face anywhere from twenty minutes to an hour. You could also leave this on overnight if you want a deeper hydration.

The oils all will hydrate and moisturize and the tea-tree will fight acne.

Egg Mask

This mask is pretty simple. Separate an egg-white from the yolk and apply the egg-white onto your face with a brush. To make this a peel-off mask, grab some tissue paper and separate the layers. Layer the egg-white with the tissue onto your skin until your face is covered in tissue paper and egg-white. Leave this on until it dries completely. (It will feel tight)

Egg-white is great for moisturizing and evening the texture of your skin.

Vinegar Mask

Wait, did you read that right? Vinegar? Yep. Apple Cider Vinegar to be precise. Mix together a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a tablespoon of honey. Leave it on your face for about fifteen minutes. (thirty max)

Apple Cider Vinegar restores the PH value of your skin while the honey moisturizes it.

Add a few drops of tea-tree essential oil if you have acne: this essential oil can do wonders for acne.
