Stop Spending Money on Expensive Masks

We all love a good face mask, but we aren’t always a fan of its price tag. Luckily, you don’t need to worry about draining your savings account—you have plenty of DIY options that not only keep your skin happy, but your wallet, too.

2. Banana, Lemon, and Honey

Lemon and honey sound like a flu remedy, but we promise they work on your skin as well. Mixing all three not only hydrates your skin but also acts as a natural exfoliant. You’ll get a good glow and stay moisturized in the process.

3. Aloe Vera and Honey

If you’re looking for something to help inflamed skin, aloe vera and honey get the job done. Aloe vera is already our go-to for sunburns, so we’d reach for it anytime we struggle with redness elsewhere! In 15-20 minutes, you’ll have happier skin that feels better, too.

Do you have a little oatmeal lying around the pantry? Forget about breakfast—it’s time to make a face mask! With a little baking soda, this trio provides a perfect solution for oily skin, absorbing excess oil and leaving behind super soft skin.

5. Turmeric and Yogurt

Moisturizing and anti-inflammatory? You can’t get much better than that! These two make a great paste that combats redness and provides all the exfoliation you could want. It’s an easy recipe as well, so you don’t need to make a laundry list of ingredients.
