[DIY] Homemade oily skin mask

I don't know about you girls, but I really love to try a lot of homemade tricks for my skin, hair or body, and I thought about sharing my experiences with you.

This one is for those of you with oily skin, and it's my favourite mask so far! You only need an albumen (egg white) and 1, maybe 1 and a half tablespoons of corn flour.

First, put the egg white in the recipient in which you want to create the mask:


Pour the corn flour over it:


Aaaand mix! (couldn't be easier!)



 Et voila! You made your own quick, cheap and efficient face mask!





Yes, I know, it looks gross but believe me, it works wonders!

So, after that, apply it on your skin and stay with it until it dries (it takes up to 15 - 20 mins). When it's dry, rinse it off (I use cold water, but you can use warm water as well), and while doing it you can gently massage it, because it makes a great natural scrub!

Look how this mask closed my pores and cleaned my face (I pictured the same skin area, using the super-macro effect, so that the photo be very clear).

Click on the image to see it larger and clearer!



I think that the difference is obvious. I feel my skin very clean and smooth, I simply love this mask and I use it very often.

Which is YOUR favourite homemade face mask?

  3. I will have to try this face mask tonight. I normally don't use them because all the chemicals in them make my skin break out. 2 simple, food products mixed looks like a safe way to try one :) (swellmomma from swap-bot follow me #5 swap)

  14. Sometimes you would rather not know what is in your skin care products :0)(though we should) this one sounds simple and probably works great.
