Sometimes, the most insignificant means work up the ladder to radiant healthy skin. Unlike over-the-counter masks, which might burden your skin and face with loads of chemicals and preservatives, homemade skincare facial masks use ingredients prepared to go soft on skin while yielding out-of-the-world miraculous results. Soothing, exfoliating, or fighting acne, there is some sort of homemade mask ready to meet every demand. So, here’s presenting a few of the best homemade masks one could make in their own kitchens!

1. Soothing Honey and Avocado Mask

Best Suits: Dry and Dehydrated Skin

Such being the case, when your skin is literally screaming for any drop of moisture, a hydrating mask would get the trick. Honey being a natural humectant draws water unto the skin whereas avocado contains loads of vitamins and healthy fats that go hand in hand in healing up your skin’s barrier, or its locking mechanism in other words.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp olive oil, optional for extra moisturizing

Instructions:

• Mash the avocado until smooth.
• Mix all the ingredients over a bowl, adding honey and olive oil to your taste for creaminess.
• Apply on your face and leave on for 15-20 minutes.
• Then wash with warm water and dry your face with a soft towel.

This mask leaves the skin soft, plump, and deeply hydrated.
