How can I make an easy facial mask (at home)? Any other spa night ideas?

Question

Is there any easy fast way to make a facial mask at home???

I'm having a D.I.Y spa night with my friend and we would also appreciate any other spa ideas to make everything more spa-like and relaxing...

In response to Mrs. Harry -
Sorry, my last name is not either of those.
Thanks for your advice as well.

Answer 1

Not so much a mask ..but a great .

I'm 31 now .I had a makeup artists tell me a HUGE secret that changed my LIFE back at 25. The most importaint thing for makeup to look " glowy" is that the skin beneath be smooth . I also have the most sensitive skin in the universe...seriously. Neutragena's extra mild face lotion burns when I apply it. I can only use Olay sensitive skin..... and even I can tolerate THIS minidermabrasion everyday...for about 6 bucks a MONTH. No joke . here's what she told me :


Take some arm and hammer baking soda ( use the brand name , it just works better) , and mix it with cetaphil extra gentle cleanser:
~ wet your face
~ sprinkle baking soda into your palm. Use a pile the size of a dime for everyday use , use more ( the size of a quarter) if your skin is looking a bit dull , or you feel you need some extra smoothing.
~ add Cetaphil. Squirt enough to make a very loose paste about the consitancy of yogurt. make it a thicker paste for xtra buffing.
~ apply to the face and massage gently for no less than 30 seconds.
~ rinse thoroughly with warm water. Rinse again .
~Pat dry and apply your everyday moisturizer.

Think of how great a salt scrub works on your body...this is a salt polish for your face . It's NOT rough , it doesn't nick , scratch, or tear into the skin. Its just gently removes the top-most layer without damage. Like soft-scrub works for porcelain...nothing harsh.

Within 3 days my skin was smoother , the tone became more even with discolorations fading fast, and my skin had that "glow" you just can't get from cosmetics. After a week it wasn't even like "my" skin. It was like getting a brand new face. I rarely wear an actual foundation anymore...

Seriously, I'm passionate about this because it literally changed my skin. I do this every night when washing to remove make-up . in the mornings , I use the cetaphil cleanser in the , no baking soda, and follow with moisturizer . i rarely use the baking soda in the AM , unless my skin is being poopy.

the bonus ...if it doesnt work you are ONLY out 6 bucks.

Try mixed:
1 tbsp honey
1 egg white
3 tbsp of oats
Mixed together and apply to face. Leave on for 15 minutes & rinse off.
Ideas : Add cucumber, kiwi, or make some fruity paste for a nice fresh smells.
To make spa-like : During the sessions, burn lavender aromatheraphy oil to give a relaxing sensation. Play the slow & relaxing music on your player.

Answer 3

Mix 2 tablespoons honey with 2 teaspoons milk. Smooth over face and throat. Leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

Answer 4

take a little white granulated sugar - put in a bowl - mix it with the fresh juice a green lime - use it as as scrub on your face or any part of your body that needs it . The vitamin c in the lime is great for your skin and the sugar gently rubs off all of the dead skin cells. My daughters all swear by this before they start tanning especially. I have done this a few times on myself as well. very invorgating.

Answer 5

This mask is a little messy but it's nice.
Mix 3 tbsp honey with 1 tbsp ground fresh cinnamon and put ib the freezer

Mix orange peel (grated) with milk, witch hazel, and baking soda to thicken. Heat a little warmer than room temp (warm on the skin but not hot)



This is off subject but could u PLEASE tell me if your last name happens to be WERKING or WERKING-VOLK ( if either) I would really appreciate that!
Use the orange mask first, rinse of and follow with the first one! HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!

i know one thats really weird and good. u mash a banana and mix it with honey. then apply the mush to ur face. that one u can eat.
another awesome one is when u soak rose petals and crush them in a bowl. then mix it with rose water, 1 tbsp of yogurt, and 1tbsp of microwaved honey. mix well and apply. this balances out the natural oils in ur face.

smash an avocado and apply to face.. don't let it set out to long because it will turn brown
