DIY Beauty Masks

This cold weather has not been kind on my skin. I've been hunting for the perfect moisturizing facial mask for Winter weather. I have found many DIY masks, but the only problem is they involve too many ingredients for my liking (I have the same issue with cooking/baking - If I have to google image what ingredients I'm buying, no way jose am I making that).  I have found a few that include TWO ingredients only, and you're pretty likely to have these stocked in your fridge... SCORE! 


Avocado and Yogurt
1 ripe avocado
4 tablespoons of plain yogurt
Blend in food processor and leave on for 10-15 min


Banana and Lemon
1 ripe banana
1/2 teaspoon of lemon
(optional- you can add oatmeal or agave)
Blend together until smooth. Apply and leave on for 15-20 min


 Honey and Milk
2 tablespoons of honey
2 teaspoons of milk
Mixture will be sticky. Apply and leave on for 10-15 min



Honey and Egg 
2 tablespoons of honey
1 egg yolk
Blend together thoroughly. Apply and leave on for 10-15 min

  1. LOVE these tips. I am telling you, BEAUTY tips. I need them. I also love the idea of these being fresh masks rather than processed chemicals hanging out in a bottle for god knows how long.
