The best skincare remedies are not just out of expensive bottles and sachets, but are also right out of the kitchen counters. Do-it-yourself masks are a wonderful method to naturally care for your skin by making use of simple and natural ingredients.
A DIY face mask is the safest face mask as they are made naturally with ingredients easily found at home. But not all face masks work like a one-size-fits-all. Whether it is dryness or oiliness, a homemade mask will give your skin the right shine and glow that it craves.
Here are some easy-to-make DIY Face Mask ideas that suit every skin type:
-
Honey and Yogurt Mask
Nothing can beat summer like a nourishing and hydrating honey and yogurt face mask. It is a creamy blend that helps lock in the moisture for a longer time.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
Mix both ingredients well and apply to clean and dry skin. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes before rinsing it out with some lukewarm water. Yogurt is the natural ingredient that will soothe the skin and drawing moisture to the deeper layers of skin.

Multani Mitti and Rose Water Mask
Multani mitti is the best and natural oil absorber that will draw out the excess oil without stripping the skin completely dry. This is a clay-based mask that will help clarify the skin and tighten the pores.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of Multani Mitti
- Rose water (as per the desired consistency)
Mix both the ingredients and apply an even layer, and let it dry for 10-15 minutes. Rinse off using lukewarm water and use the mask twice a week for optimum results.
-
Oatmeal and Banana Mask
This is a gentle mask that will offer a clean, calming, and balancing light moisture to the skin. Oatmeal works as a natural scrub that will strip off the dry layer of the skin, and banana functions as an exfoliator and moisturizer to brighten the skin.
Ingredients:
- Half a ripe banana
- 1 tablespoon ground oats
Mix both the ingredients by mashing them together and apply them over your face and neck. Let it rest for 15 minutes before rinsing it off with lukewarm water. The oatmeal soothes the skin while the banana gives it a soft and natural glow.
-
Turmeric and Aloe Vera Mask
For an antibacterial effect to combat those persistent acne, try using the turmeric and Aloe Vera mask that is both antibacterial as well as anti-inflammatory. It will help in reducing the redness and will also soothe the irritated skin effectively.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh Aloe Vera gel
Mix both ingredients well and apply a thin layer on the face. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes and rinse it off thoroughly. Use the mask once a week for clearer and cleaner skin that is calm without any irritation.
-
Cucumber and Honey Mask
For a gentle, yet nourishing face mask, mix the cooling cucumber with a honey mask. This is a cooling and calming mask that will reduce the puffiness of the skin and soothe any traces of redness in it.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon cucumber juice
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
Mix both ingredients well and apply them after blending. Let it rest on the skin for 10-15 minutes and then rinse it off using a splash of cold water. This will refresh the skin and make it more hydrated.
