My favorite home masks

I'm writing this post about homemade face masks because I prefer them over store bought ones for the most part. They are not only cheaper but you know 100% what you are putting on your face. Some of these masks you can buy at the store aren't necessarily bad for you but some of them have questionable ingredients and some of them can be super harsh to your skin and you don't know how you will react to it until it's too late. So... I am sharing a few recipes that I use at home and why I use them. You use different types of masks for different kinds of skin problems. I like to switch it up and not do the same mask every time I use one. I have I guess what's considered combination skin. I tend to get dry skin on certain parts of my face during the winter time, around my nose and my forehead and chin for the most part. I do exfoliate and moisturize but sometimes you need a little extra something for the dry times, so here's what I do for that...
I mash up a banana, mix in a little bit of plain yogurt and smear it on my face, keeping it on for 30 minutes (I know it seems like a long time but it works.) See what happens is the banana in this little mix helps with the inflammation of your skin due to the dryness (that's why your skin gets red when it's dry). It also is packed with vitamins that our bodies need not only internally but external also, we can absorb the potassium and vitamin C through our skin. The plain yogurt in the mix just adds moisture to your skin and helps make your skin super soft when you rinse the mask off.
Another mask I like too use is a simple egg white mask and it's good for all seasons. The egg whites help make your pores smaller and puts a temporary barrier on your skin.I like the egg whites also because it dries on your skin and you can feel it tightening up your skin. It is also good if you have little bags under your eyes, tightens them right up.
The last one I use if I have a break out. It's an odd one but it works for me... Just take 3 to 4 Asprins and a few drops of water to dissolve the asprin into a paste. Apply it to the broken out area and let it dry completely ( it will start cracking a falling off) then rinse it off. The asprin works as a anti inflammatory and it also contains Salicylic Acid which is used in a lot of face washes and acne medications.
So there you go... those are the face masks I like to use at home. Enjoy.
