Answer 1

You can crush up 6 plain, uncoated aspirin tablets and mix it w/ a little water to make mask.

Milk of Magnesia - apply in thin layer where needed & allow to dry 5-10 mins. Will absorb oil & tighten pores.

Mix half a teaspoon of crushed uncoated aspirin tablets with Queen Helene Mint Julep mask or aloe vera gel to use as a mask.

Soothing Yogurt Mask
1/3 cup plain whole milk yogurt (loosens old skin cells)
1-2 tsp. honey (anti-bacterial, moisturizes)
2 tblsp. oatmeal (scrubbing action)

Mix ingredients & apply to face. Leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse off w/ cool water.

Answer 2

I am getting hungry reading all these!!
I have made some in the past but if I can afford it i just get the St Ives brand or Suave. They are all pretty cheap and good.

Truly one of the best you can get is Queen Helena's Mint Julep Mask. Many people swear by it and it has been around a very long time. It is pretty cheap too at Walgreen's, walmart, sally beauty, and so on. I real a lot of the beauty forums ans such and it gets recommended more than anything else.

Go to craigslist.com and search there beauty forum for it. Will get lots of stuff on it. That is also a good place to ask your question. Lots of input from women.

Answer 5

Oatmeal facials are fun and easy to make, Blend a cup of cooked oatmeal in a blender until smooth. Then spread the goop over your face. Sit back and wait until it dries, or for about an hour. Rinse well with clear water then pat your face dry. You'll look radiant.

Answer 6

Charcoal, clay or mud all help oily skin; ; creamy masks with honey, glycerine, ceramides or hyaluronic acid moisturize dry faces; and exfoliators like AHAs and lactic acid speed cell turnover and brighten dull skin. If you have combination skin, mix and match—apply an oily skin mask to the t-zone and a moisturizing one on the rest of the face.

* MAYONNAISE. Apply whole egg mayonnaise on your face (right from the jar) for about 20 minutes. Rinse with cool water.

* PEACH & BRANDY. Mash up a peach (use ripe, canned or frozen) and mix in a tablespoon of brandy. Leave it on for 20 minutes, then rinse off.

* TOMATO MASK. For oily skin, mash up a ripe tomato and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm (not hot) water.



* BANANA MASH. Mash up a very ripe banana. Add just enough honey to make a soft pulp. Apply over face and hair. This is such a great firming mask that aging movie stars have been known to put it in the cups of their bras to make their breasts "perky." (Just make sure that you don't use too much honey and you use a sturdy bra.)


* HONEY MASK. Apply pure honey (straight from the bottle) to your face and neck. Allow it to set until dry (about 15 minutes). Rinse with very warm water.

* MILK OF MAGNESIA. Apply it straight from the bottle. Let it dry for about five to ten minutes. Rinse off with warm water, then gently pat your face dry with a fluffy towel.

* PEPTO BISMOL. This is a face mask particularly suited for those with sensitive skin. In the same way that this product coats the stomach, it gently caresses the face. Apply it straight from the bottle, using a cotton swab. Allow to dry, then rinse with cool water.
