DIY face masks: recipes for every skin type
Advantages of face masks
Before we introduce you to the actual recipes, we would like to explain the numerous benefits of face masks. Face masks are not only suitable for creating a spa feeling in no time at all, they also have a quick effect. They moisturise the skin, clear pores, fight impurities, tighten sagging contours, reduce redness and give you an even, radiant complexion. The great thing about masks is that you don't necessarily have to dig deep into your pockets to achieve these great skin results. Effective masks are also very easy to make yourself. The DIY trend, which is reflected in almost all areas of life, has also led to more and more people making their own masks and experimenting with different ingredients when it comes to cosmetic products. Over time, all these experiments have resulted in some really great recipes that we don't want to keep from you! Here are mask recipes for every skin type and every situation!
Face mask for soft skin
Ingredients:
- 1 pot of yoghurt
- 2 tsp honey
- 1/2 banana
Put a pot of yoghurt in a bowl and mix it with the liquid honey. Stir until you have a homogeneous mixture. Optionally, you can add half a mashed banana. When your mask is ready, apply it to your cleansed face and neck with a brush. Leave the face mask on for around 20 minutes and then wash it off thoroughly with warm water. Your skin will feel particularly soft and smooth after application. The ingredients also have an anti-inflammatory and regenerating effect. If that's not a reason to give this mask a try!
Face mask for dry skin
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp cream
- 2 tbsp oat flour
- 1/3 cup dark cocoa powder
- ¼ cup honey
We all know it, we all hate it: especially in winter, our skin often becomes very dry and irritated. But that's all over now! Simply mix all of the above ingredients together in a bowl until you have a creamy paste. Then apply the mask to your face at the same time and leave it on for 15 minutes. Afterwards, simply take a soft paper towel, wipe off the mask and rinse off the rest with warm water. The only danger with the whole thing: the mask not only helps against dry skin, it also tastes delicious! So make sure you don't eat the mask before you apply it.
Face mask for firm skin

However, cucumbers are not only suitable for applying to the eyes in the form of thin slices - they also have a cooling and firming effect in homemade face masks. For this recipe, cut a third of a cucumber into small pieces and then puree to a fine paste using a hand blender. Then add the curd cheese and mix everything thoroughly. Apply the mask to cleansed skin and leave it on for 20 minutes. Then rinse off with warm water and be amazed!
