- 1/4 cup of Yogurt
Smash your selected banana into a smooth paste and apply to your face and neck for about 20 minutes. Then, rinse off with cold water. If you have the ingredients and the time, try to make a mask of 1 banana, 1/4 cup of Yogurt, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Apply for 20-40 minutes and rinse off with cold water. The banana will act similarly to a BOTOX product –which helps prevent wrinkles and moisturizes your skin instantly. Try it!
Now, vinegar has been used as a moisturizer since ancient Rome. It is also used as a rudimentary bacteria killer such as hair lice. It is not recognized as disinfectant but it will still kill minor germs and microbes. Here's how to create the best all-natural toner!

- 1tbsp of Vinegar, preferably apple cider vinegar.
- 2 cups of Water
What you'll need for a full-on facial mask:
- 1/4 cup of vinegar
- 1/4 cup of water
The quick toner is perfect for after you've washed your face. Just add a few touches to your face with your fingers or a face pad. It will lighten your complexion and further clean your pores. If you want a stronger solution, we recommend the full-on mask recipe. Apply the mix all over your face and let it dry. If you're worried about the smell of vinegar, make sure you apply this at least 30 minutes before going out. Vinegar smell disappears when it's fully dry.
In a Lemon's juice there is an 8% of citric acid, making it a key ingredient in many recipes around the world. It is also known as a great cleanser, much like vinegar. Lemon is a natural preservative, helps digestion and even helps dissolve kidney stones. As a face mask, lemon is a great exfoliator!
What you'll need:
- 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup of oil (preferably, olive)
Squish the one lemon to get all its juice, mix it with a 1/4 cup of oil and apply to your face for about 20 minutes. Make sure you cleanse your face before applying but don't apply any other products or the acid of the lemon will make it sting. Rinse off with cold water. You can do this every morning and before going to bed.
In 1 single egg you can find high-quality proteins, vitamins, minerals, good fats and various trace nutrients. Egg facial masks are the most popular masks there are, beside the cliche cucumber mask of course. An egg facial will help you cleanse, exfoliate, and lighten your skin.

- 1 egg yolk
What you'll need for oily skin:
- 1 egg white
- 1 tbsp of Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp of Honey
What you'll need for regular skin:
- 1 egg
It is very important to know which skin type you have since egg masks will naturally dry your skin. Simply beat whatever mixture you selected and apply evenly through-out your face. Take the time to lay down and relax while the solution does its job. Once you feel it tighten around your face into an uncomfortable rigidity, rinse off with cold water.

Probably the longest recipe of this list but effective nonetheless. Mix the water and the oatmeal. After the solution has settled for 2 or 3 minutes, add the rest of the ingredients. When everything is well mixed, apply a thin layer to your skin and let it sit for 10-20 minutes. Rinse well with lukewarm water.
