6 Recipes for 6 Different Skin Types
You can use basic ingredients found around the house to make your own simple, hydrating masks. Here are 6 recipes for 6 different skin types. We found these basic recipes in a beauty book from the 1960s produced by the Junior League of Houston, Texas. We've added some ingredients to make them any mask.
Homemade Face Mask for Oily Skin
The juices in strawberries & lemon contain natural astringents.
1 tsp lemon juice (have a real lemon? Include a teaspoon of the lemon pulp)
2 egg white
2 tsp honey
1 cup strawberries
4 drops eucalyptus oil or jojoba oil (optional)
Blend the above ingredients, apply and leave on for10 minutes. Rinse. Recipe works for 2 people, so invite a friend, or cut recipe in half for just you.
Homemade Clay Mask for Normal Skin
Clay masks are hydrating while toning your skin.

You can pick up clay from any health-food store.
A basic fuller's earth clay (if skin is sensitive, try a green clay)
1 tsp honey
water (for a richer mask, substitute whole milk)
your favorite essential oil (lavender, rose, geranium)
Mix 2 parts water to 1 part clay, mixing in a bit of honey. Add more water if clay is too dry. Add a few drops of the oil. Keep mask on for 15 minutes. Rinse off with a warm washcloth.
Homemade Face Mask for Dry Skin
Avocados and honey are particularly moisturizing.
½ avocado (you can also substitute 2 teaspoons avocado oil)
¼ cup honey
Mash these together. Apply to skin and leave for 5-10 minutes. Rinse with a washcloth drenched in cool water.
Homemade Face Mask for Combination Skin
A rose-based mask is perfect for balancing out the oily and dry areas of your skin.
6 rose petals
2 tbsps rosewater
1 tbsp natural yogurt (go for full-fat & skip the flavored ones)
1 tbsp naturally runny honey (you can warm honey in a microwave for 8 seconds to get it runny. Plus, we find the warmth is particularly soothing for this mask).
Soak rose petals, then crush them in a bowl. Add the rosewater, yogurt and honey.
Don't have the rose petals? No problem. Mix well & apply to the skin. Leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse.
Homemade Face Mask for Sensitive Skin
This soothing mask is great for chapped, sunburned or irritated skin.
1 cup natural yogurt (we like it just-out-of-the-fridge cold)
½ cup oatmeal (any type of basic oatmeal works here)
Mix the ingredients together & apply to the skin for 15 minutes. Wash off mask with a warm washcloth. Extra tip: This mask works well for other skin types as well. For oily skin, add a couple drops of lime juice. For dry skin, mix in a couple tablespoons of honey.
Homemade Face Mask for Aging Skin
See ‘Is Your Skin Prematurely Aging’ to find out if your skin fits this category. This mask works well for maturing skin, since sugar is a natural exfoliant and will help soften the lines your skin creates as it ages.
3 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp warm water
Melt sugar in warm water. Make sure granules are dissolved, otherwise they may tear your skin. Apply to the face and leave for 5 minutes. Gently massage around the skin. Rinse.
