Is your skin acting up? Have you rewatched all seven episodes of Tiger King? Are you pacing around your apartment with no end in sight? Cool, same—that’s why we’re making DIY face masks tonight. DW, though, I’m not talking about those ~questionable~ recipes you’ve seen people experimenting with on your Insta feed (lookin’ at you, baking soda and lemon juice).
Nope, I went ahead and found nine easy homemade face masks that address everything from rosacea flare-ups to stress-induced breakouts. Keep reading to find the best DIY tutorials for oily skin, acne, blackheads, and more—all of which you can make with ingredients you def already have in your kitchen. Thankfully.
In this face mask tutorial, YouTuber Loepsie breaks down a suuuuper easy recipe for irritated, sensitive, or eczema-prone skin. BTW: It’s gentle enough to use anywhere on your body, so feel free to slather it on those dry spots on your legs and arms, too. Here’s what you’ll need:
THE INGREDIENTS:
The hero ingredient in this simple DIY is oatmeal, which has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help calm dry skin and remove dead skin cells. And when it’s coupled with antibacterial honey (and a little h2o for consistency), it’s a true skin-soothing treat. Crush up all the ingredients in a bowl, smooth a thin layer over clean skin, and leave it on for about 10 minutes to get the full calming effects.
Okay, fine, this isn’t technically a face mask, but your dry-AF lips need some love, too. Just keep in mind that this recipe from vlogger AnitaSamantha is a bit too abrasive for sensitive or irritated skin, and it should only be used on dry lips once a week. Got it? Cool, go ahead and grab your ingredients:
THE INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 tablespoon organic cane sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon filtered honey
Yup, all you need is two ingredients for this bb: organic cane sugar (which gives this mask its gritty, exfoliating texture) and filtered honey (which is loaded with antioxidants and helps your skin retain moisture). Mix it up, gently rub the formula along your lips, and rinse it off after five minutes max. Don’t forget to follow up with lip balm. Read more…
