Yet, natural ingredients present a low-cost, easy, complete solution to skincare, especially because sustainability movements are gaining momentum.

These homemade beauty products consist of everyday foods and household commodities with moisture replenishing and hydration components. These items include antioxidants that fight against oxidative damage and improve skin health, and anti-aging herbs.

Coffee Scrub

Aside from morning rush, coffee spray is also an excellent natural exfoliant and a callus softener, thanks to its magnesium. Glaser adds some Vitamin E oil to vodka and coffee to get a perfectly hydrating and anti-ageing effect on the skin.

The same recipe is ideal for people with oily skin as it contains a surfactant that dissolves oil, allowing sebum to leave the pores. The lavender essential oil works to calm and relax the skin, making this face mask a great option for most people. You’ll come away from using the mask with fresh and relaxed skin; It’s a great part of any skin care routine.

Avocado and Yogurt Face Mask

This simple-looking face mask is your skin’s secret weapon! The combination of avocado (rich in omega fatty acids and antioxidants) and yogurt offers essential nutrients that feed your skin from the inside out.

Not only does the lactic acid in yogurt provide mild exfoliation that eliminates dead cells, probiotics also work to even skin tone and reduce the risk of breakouts or acne.

Honey has antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties, and helps in healing skin irritation caused due to dandruff or an itchy scalp. Reduce your redness, treat acne scars and increase the collagen production by using this facial mask once or twice a week. The only other ingredient in this recipe is coconut oil that offers plenty of Vitamin E equivalent to a carrier oil, which will help your skin stay soft, hydrated and healthy!

Banana and Honey Face Mask

This mask is a very simple natural skin care recipe, with balanced properties aimed at moisturising dry skin, softening it and restoring its glow while controlling sebaceous secretions.

For a gorgeous homemade skin preparation, mix together 1 ripe banana with some raw honey and a tablespoon of milk in a bowl. Directly apply to your face, leave for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with water, to achieve a radiant nourished glow.

Bananas are an excellent sugar and if compliance to the complaint is low, the potential exists for increasing lightness, clarity and active ‘shine’ in skin of any skin type. Banana facial scrub revitalises and rejuvenates for dull complexions while replenishing and restoring, bringing back life into a dull, sickly or poorly-cared-for facial display: Take equal parts mashed banana, besan powder and lemon juice for an invigorating home-made skin care recipe.

Chocolate and Oatmeal Face Mask

Drench your senses and nourish your skin with this indulgent chocolate face mask! Cocoa powder is jam-packed with antioxidants that may reduce free radical damage while promoting a dewy complexion – not to mention mild exfoliating properties! This simple solution for a DIY facial mask is simply cocoa powder and honey.

Another food known for its calming properties is the cucumber. In my view, this DIY toner is inexpensive and very effective at soothing and moisturising the skin.

If you have a dry or sensitive skin, this easy DIY skincare recipe is for you. A hydration-boosting mixture of avocado, yogurt and coffee is used because of its vitamins and minerals while cocoa soothes skin irritations and egg whites help tighten pores for the best results. If you still want to use this face mask recipe and are vegan, replace the egg with aquafaba.

Egg White and Lemon Juice Face Mask

We bet egg is included in several of your favourite dinners and, as your skin will soon discover, eggs are a great benefit for your skin, too, as the protein in eggs can give your skin a tightening, firming effect and can also help toreduce oil production.

Lemon juice also helps as a tonic for your skin, and you can combine the two ingredients. Apply the mix to your face and let it rest on your skin for about 20 minutes. Wash it off with water after 20 minutes, and apply this face mask three times a week.

Those who suffer from blemishes will enjoy this recipe – the lemon juice removes excess oils that could be causing acne and the egg white is great for small pores to prevent any potential breakouts.
