Spa-At-Home: Homemade Facials & Face Mask Recipes
By Maddie Ruud
Facial masks should be an integral part of every woman's beauty regime. Not only do they replenish our skin, but they force us, in an unobtrusive way, to take time for ourselves and relax; after all, it's impossible to get much of anything done with a layer of creamy goodness slathered over your face, and cucumbers over your eyes.
But why get dressed up and go out to a salon, when you can get the same benefits, and remain comfortable in your own space? The answer is: there is no reason. Below I've included recipes for my favorite at-home face masks. Each provides unique benefits, but all are quick and easy to blend up at home, with ingredients you use every day. Hey, you can even make yourself a smoothie while you're at it.
Nourish: Banana-Avacado Mask

- 1/2 over-ripe banana
- 1/2 over-ripe avacado

so cool
awesome i lov it
I saw this on Twitter from @TipsForGoodSkin and thought I don't know about trying a homemade facial mask but some of these sound like really good ideas. I might actually have to try a few of these.
Cheers,
Kimberly
hey ppl love face masks also
I think i am going to try one of these recipes...i hope it works!!!!!:):)
Nice information !!
kewl
Hello hello!
I have other Hubs with facial scrub and cleanser recipes. Links can be found on this page.
hi! Can you add some facial cleasenrs homemade of course to this? Good job overall
pretty good
i like your tips.
you have many followers
thank you very much maddie.
Alina,
For your chapped lips, try using lip balm regularly. If you don't have any, you can simply use vegetable oil... just be careful not to lick it off.
Skin-lightening creams are damaging to your skin. We all have different natural skin colors. Embrace yours! If you don't want to darken, wear sunscreen.
my lips are always cracked.when i drink water they become white in colour and start peeling off.i am 16.what should i do.
i was applying fairness creams for the past 1 or 2 years
but i feel that they are dangerous and from 20 days i am not applying it any more.i noticed that my skin is becoming dark.i have oily skin too.what should i do.
I have tried almost every product on the market for my acne-prone skin. The ONLY PRODUCT that made me notice a significant reduction of acne was the Shielo Complexion Scrub.
This scrub did leave my face feeling less oily and cleaner.
I use it approximately 2-3 times per week after cleansing and it has yet to dry my face out. It's not perfect, but I think it works about as well as some of the prescription treatments that i've used.
If you have severe acne, I highly recommend it. I bought online at Shielo's website, which also has free shipping.
Alina,
If you have oily skin, you should be able to apply the mask fairly frequently. I would try every other day to start, and if you don't feel any irritation, go ahead and bump it up to daily use.
can i apply tomato and lemon juice daily on my face.
i have oily skin.
can tomato be applied to face daily
Hi gem,
Try the banana-avocado, honey-almond, or chocolate mask.
hardshamxXx,
I recommend you check out my Hub on acne remedies: http://maddieruud.hubpages.com/hub/Acne_Remedies

•1/2 over-ripe avacado
•2 Tbsp unflavored full-fat yogurt
•1 tsp olive oil
and it is just great for my skin:)
thank you
Faithcat:
These should be safe for someone of any age, as long as they do not have allergies to the ingredients. You should do a small test of the mask on the inside of her wrist to see if it irritates the skin, if you are concerned. I recommend getting an adult's help.
HAS ANYONE TRIED ALL OF THEM? IF YOU HAVE PLEASE TELL ME WHITCH ONE WORKS BEST:) AND DOES ANYONE EVER POST BACK SOON AFTER YOU SEND THESE THINGS?
I am 12 and for my friend Nicole who is 8 wants me to do a spa day. Are these masks 100% safe for her?

Why use a natural facial mask?
Natural facial masks are a wonderful and soothing way to recuperate and moisturize your facial skin. Despite what some people think, they are a vital part in taking care of your skin. While some people do go a little extreme with these and use them daily, I would recommend maybe once a week, or once every other week. Another benefit is that consistent facial masks will also help you avoid common skin disorders, plus help make you look and feel younger.
Face mask or facial masks are useful in treating your skin problems.
Natural elements used in facial masks can treat your skin disorders.
Most natural facial masks found on the market today will work two ways. Firstly, by moisturizing your skin while also deep cleaning, this helps in cleaning out your pores completely by getting rid of oils and built up dirt. Secondly, the wonderful effect of natural facial masks is the removal of dead skin. Typically after you remove your facial mask, you will scrape off the dead skin, which will also help in making you feel younger and healthier. You see, the skin under the dead skin is younger, and tighter. So when you remove this dead cover of skin, you reveal a much younger looking skin!
The purpose of a natural facial mask is to improve skin and outlook of the face,
depending on the type of skin as following:
To absorb oil
To moisturize dry skin
To replenish dull skin
Facial masks are very nutritious.
After applying a facial mask, you will feel fresh and people will notice your much younger looking face.
1. Always test the mask, particularly if you have a sensitive skin. Apply a small amount behind your ear or inside of the elbow, wait for at least 30 minutes, then wash off. If there is no unpleasant reaction in the next 24 hours, then only apply the mask on your face.
2. Rinse mask thoroughly with warm water followed with cold water.
3. Don't apply masks more than twice a week.
4. When applying a facial mask, you should try to avoid area around your eyes and lips.
5. Vary the facial mask type to see their effects on your skin.
What is a natural facial mask without a soothing application? One of the best things about a facial mask is the repose, right? When it is time to put on that facial mask, you’ll want to start by washing your face in warm water. Warm water opens up your pores and gets them ready to receive the natural elements of the facial mask. An optional procedure, give your face a soft massage. This will make you feel unbelievable.
Cleaning of face before applying a face mask
1. Splash cold water on your face.
2. Massage vitamin E on your face while your face is still damp (not wet).
3. Remove the oil from the face using a mild soap after 5 minutes.
4. Again splash your face with water at room temperate. Let your face dry naturally.
5. Note: You can do the above face cleaning daily even if you are not applying a facial mask.
Applying a natural facial mask
As you apply the natural facial mask, you will want to massage it into your facial skin as well. Take your time and don’t rush. After it is on, you’ll typically want to let it soak into your facial skin for at least (30) thirty minutes. What should you do during those thirty minutes? Draw a warm bath, take a nap, just relax and let the natural facial mask do its work. When it comes time to take it off, you will want to use cold water. Firstly, it stimulates and revitalizes your facial skin. Secondly, it will close your pores and keep them from getting any of that horrible dirt or oils that usually ruin your facial skin.
Now, when we talk about natural facial masks, these are facial masks that are made out of natural, elements. I have found that the “Active Skin Care Products”, especially their “Natural Facial Masks Kits” which are great for treating and taking care of your facial skin because of the natural elements they are produced with.
Remember, you are going to want to apply these natural facial masks once a week, maybe twice a week at the most. This will help keep your facial skin healthy, and natural. Not to mention, keeping you looking younger than before!
If I tried all the masks at the same time would that hurt my skin or should i only try one for now Please comment back!

Hi, I have just created a new face mask. It helps smooth skin, open pores, and give your face a tightned look. I am only 11 years old, and wanted to experiment.
You'll Need:
3 spoons of Low Fat Vanilla Yogurt
4 Spoons Of Egg Whites, Or Egg Beaters [recommended]
A dash of lime juice.
Add the ingrediants together, and mix well.
Rise off your face, and get your face wet. Then apply your 'cream' to your face. Keep on for 3 minutes, and WHAM! Smoother, tighter skin!
(:
i cant bear to have my face sticky
i dont understand oatmeal, can you just use plain traditional oats? and when it says cook is that in water or milk?
Wonderful recipes. It's great to see you put these ideas out there. As someone who's been using natural homemade hair treatments, I can say that they truly work.
I have to try this facial mask. I've been looking for a facial spa that I could do at home. Anyway, thank you for sharing this.

i'm still working on it. i'll be done in about a minute. jk! maybe done in an hour or so. by the way, i'm chewing gum now. is gum good for you? is there a facial mask made out of gum that's good for dry skin that needs moisture? i'll update you in a few minutes.
they are so easy to make that i'm going to make one today.
i'll tell you if it's good.
ive tried the avocado it works good to

Hi Maddie. My 10 year old daughter was doing a search on home facial masks and found this hub! She's all excited about the chocolate mask. She says: "I love what you write about." I'll let you know how the mask turns out. He he he. Thanks, Maddie!

The chocolate mask is amazing it works like magic if you have zits they just go away after one try with the chocolate mask
I have a book on home spa treatments - I must dig it out! These are great ideas! Love this!
How many people can use it if u make it one time cause tommarow me and my girls are having a sleep over so i thought why dont we have a spa kind of thing but i dont know how mych it makes
I've enjoyed this hub and look forward to trying a few of the masks. I always love learning about ways pamper to myself without spending a lot of money in a salon or some place like that.
thank you this was very helpful for me and my friend
GOD , IS THERE ANY WITHOUT HONEEY !!!?? WE HAVE NONE AT HOME :/ X
I love the Banana-Avocado face mask its great and the chocolate mask to its amazing what it could do to your face and it left my face feeling soft,clean,and beautiful. I love the masks they do work well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )
I have actually done the honey-almond mask on several occasions. It works great - left my face feeling soft and, believe it or not considering the stickiness, clean.
tried the tomato and lemon one. we didn't have a blender so it was kinda chunky. it was fun tho. next time i am doing the choc. one. IT looks good!
Looked in the mirror today, and was thinking I need to put some cucumbers on my eyes. This was really cool. Loved the recipes you provided:)
Great ideas; more people should know abouy the benefits of real natural cosmetics and use them.
As a skin care specialist for over 30 years I have no doubt that the only natural products beneficial for the skin could be found in your refrigerator and NOT at the cosmetic counter
So many good beauty regimens I've learned by accident. Wheat bran mixed with mineral oil is a great exfoliating scrub, both for the body and face. This I discovered by feeding my horses bran mash! My hands were always glowing after I mushed it up by hand.
What a great hub!!! Can't wait to try some of these out. Kudos!!!
Nothing beats a salon facial, but sometimes we just don't have the dough! I'm bookmarking this and trying several of these! Looks like you've got a winner here! Thanks for some solid info...
Sounds great I am always looking for ways to create my own mask. I usually buy the ones in pharmacy stores and then add my own ingredients (like essential oils, olive oil, etc) to spruce them up. Thanks to your list I can create my own without a visit to walgreens...enjoyed the read.
Hi! really like the hub. Thanks and God bless!
im 11 and im having a sleep over and i want to do one of them but it says that you can get a reaction what do i do?

Great hub!
My favorite is the moisturizer chocolate mask =) excellent info!
These are great recipes. I love the idea of chocolate. I've tried many of the recipes you've mentioned, not only for facials, but all over body care. I do massage and body scrubs. One of my scrubs contains sugar, mixed with precious and essential oils. Works great and leaves skin so soft.
Thanks for this valuable information!

lol lol lol;
NO ANY THING MORE BETTER THAT THIS SITE
i wanted to know what mask is best for frequent use, i have normal skin not too oily or dry, but i like the masks that make my skin feel fresh. What should i use?
I'm all for the cucumber-parsley.
i have tried the peach mask and my face is so silky and smooth smoother than all the other stuff and i really like it.
it works very well and i tried the oatmeal one andthe banana one and the oatmeal one felt a tad bit gross and the banana one was kinda soupy so i added more yogurt
very useful thanks!
Taylor415:
What ingredients would you like to substitute? You can easily use yogurt instead of cottage cheese, but I'm not sure what else you're trying to incorporate.
omg these sound so good i think i will do one tonight!
Can you substitute some items from the chocolate recipe and switch them with similar ones?
Please comment back!
Thanks
And i tried the oatmeal face scrub
Its a tad bit gross feeling but it really does work!
this website is great +y1_3r
Like any facial masque, you shouldn't apply it too close to your eyes.
Your tomato-lemon recipe. Wouldnt that sting your eyes if you got it in your eyes?
IM HAVING A BIRTHDAY PARTY AND I WANT TO DO A LITTLE SPA THING IN THE BEGINING WITH FRIENDS THEN GET ALL DOLLED UP AND GO TO A RESTURAUNT.... IS IT OKAY IF I USE ALLLL OF THESE MASKS IN THE ORDER GIVEN? LIKE FIRST NOURISH THEN EXFOLIATE THEN TIGHTEN.. ETC. CAN I DO THAT? OR IS TOO MUCH.. SHOULD WE ALL USE ONE
Home facial treatments are great and far less expensive (usually) than store brands. However having been in the beauty industry for over 25 years I would strongly recommend seeking out a professionals evaluation of your skin and skincare needs. Not all acne is the same nor is dry skin necessarily dry. You need to know what your real issues are before you treat the wrong cause and create bigger problems. Invest a little time and money first by having a professional analyze your skin then go home and make your own mask. Just remember the added benefits of steam and manual minipulation of the limph nodes and pressure points in reducing alot of the "causes" of skin irritation and problems. Of course change in diet, smoking and alcohol consumption will also do wonders for tired dehydrated skin.
Hi :)
Great recipes you have there, I'm sure most of the people can find the ingredients at home and that's great because a lot of people can do those :)
I never take time to give myself a facial. Why? I think I'll do one soon. By the way, have you ever tried to put a cooled-down tea bag on your face, especially around your eyes? It tightens and tones your skin. You look silly when your laying there with tea bags on your face but it feels good.

A paste of ground radish seeds and distilled/purified water can help dry up blackheads if you apply it directly to your problem spots.
If you have regular breakouts, you might want to think about getting yourself an acne care system with salicylic acid and/or benzoyl peroxide, like Proactiv which you can read about here:

cheer chick:
Try the baking soda bran pack recipe at the link a few comments up. That page has lots of home acne remedies you can make with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen!

I love recipes like this! The banana-avocado one sounds like one I'll have to try soon!

Hi Jenna:
Try the baking soda bran mask on my Acne Remedy Recipes page:
which mask would you use for acne? my grad is coming up and i need some help.
I tried this other kind of face mask from another site and it didnt work at all...i started to get this scratching on my face like misquito bites or somethin.now im gonna try this
hola,
i tried this and it replenished me dead and rotting skin. it also healed some of those hard to get welts and gashes.
These are great, can't wait to try them. They sound much better than the ones we can buy!
Oh Maddie, these sound wonderful! My challenge will be in not tasting some of them.
secret celeb:
It depends on which one you're using, and the state of your skin beforehand. On many you can see (or feel) results immediately afterwards, but generally you'll see the best benefits the next morning, after your skin has had a chance to fully react and rebalance.
Hey ,
I have a huge photto shoot coming up how long does it tack for these things to work?
A great face mask is a must... especially as we approach our forties!!
thanks a billion these masks are easy to make and the work!
ummm.. ok they sound GROSS but i'll give um a whirl!
help me out here!!
im excited to try the chocolate mask!!!!sounds great!!!!
Hi KAS:
The only recipe here that uses nut oil, unless I'm mistaken, is the Honey-Almond mask. You can easily substitute another oil like avocado or olive for any nut oil. Hope that helps.
Love these receipies! Just a question: I'm allergic to nuts so anything in the ground nut or nut oil department is off limits to me, which automatically throws out half of the receipies :( what can I use for a substitute?
kelly is mad cuz she has none of these ingredients
i can't wait to see what does what differnces it makes.
Wow those are some great ideas going to try the chocolate mask.
Wow! I tried the honey mask and it worked like a charm. Thanx a mil.

I'm 10 years old and me and my best friend megan goggled this website and are so happy to know about it. we are so excited to try out the chocolate mask for our spa party. you are totaly going to be added to my " fav websites. Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooo much you rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! I love home remedies and these skin masks are just what I've been looking for - many thanks.
I really don't have anything to make a mask.
These are pretty cool and simple! Thanks for the help! I had to find a recipe last minute for my sisters party!!!!!
I tried the chocolate mask. It made my skin soo smooth and healtly!

I wanted to know which mask is the best for combination skin
cn't wait to try the tomato and lemon mask aee how it works!
Hola senoritas!! Como estas? la masques con amigas son divertida!!
Tu amiga, Julia
here is an awesome recipe for acne that i made (i hav dry, sensitive skin, but still get acne and it works great!)
-grind a handful of oatmeal with some almonds (as many as you want)
-add some ingredients from ur herb shelf like a few sprinkles of cocao powder, ground mint leaves, paprika, cinnamon powder, ground coconut (if you don't have all these ingredients improvise! turmeric does wonders for skin so why not try it out?!)
tip-for a nice smell, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil (lavender, thyme, rosemary...)
- mix in a capful of vanilla, some honey, and a tbsp of witch hazel.
- to make a paste add water (you can use milk, but i like water because it'll last longer. itll look super gross but when u get it on your face, it feels cool and refreshing, also it looks a bit like a mudmask.
-i like to refrigerate it before i use it, because it is nice and cool then :) leave the mask on for 10 minutes or so, then rinse off and tone (you can moisturize if your skin feels too dry)
hope this helps
rockin'
mayonaise smells SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad in your hair! but it looks great haha

OMG!! I used some of these facial masks and I like totally LOVED them!!!! They work soooo well!!! Well, my daddy wasn't to happyafter I told him what I was doing in my room for nearly an hour and a half. I just LOVE candles and the fact that these gave me the opertunity to finally sit back relax and ENJO MYSELF!!!! LUV 2 ALL!!!!!!
i love to relax and a face a face masque is the right thing to do to relax and have all you're pores go away!!!!!!!!
i dont't have most of your stuff so mabe next time!!! :) :) :)
I've been breaking out so bad with black heads, dry skin, and horrible big zits. When I tried all these different masques, none of them worked but when I tried mango-honey, I could not believe my eyes!
i can't wait to try the chocolate mask!
i tried the avacado mask, and it worked sooooo good!
I'm from texas, and my skin was rough, so i tried the avocado mask, and after i felt so smooth, it was incredible.
thanks for these great natural homemade cleansers, scrubs and beauty treatments. i'll be linking to them and using in my post on home beauty treatments at http://cybercoolsnews.blogspot.com
omg i just tried 1 of the masks and they were fabulous
Cool...I just outlined a topic kind of like this for a Hub -- but with different home beauty treatments; not so many masks. The chocolate mask is super neat. I thought I'd heard of almost everything in homemade treatments. Guess not.
