Store-bought facial masks often contain various chemicals and their price is usually not low. Furthermore, those with sensitive skin must be especially careful when choosing them. You may never have thought that it’s possible to easily make an effective and completely natural mask at home. If this idea caught your interest and you would like to try preparing one at home, we have several tips on how to proceed.
General tips
When it comes to the basic selection of ingredients, choose them according to your skin type. If your skin is rather oily, opt for milk and yogurt, in contrast to dry skin where you can safely use cream or various types of oils.
Before applying the mask, the skin needs to be cleansed with a suitable product. You can also give your skin a gentle exfoliation or warm it briefly, for example with steaming. You can also apply the mask to the décolleté. The layer of mask applied should be thin and you should avoid
- the area around the lips
- the area around the eyes, and also
- the spot where you have a wound or skin problem.
After applying the mask it’s good to choose a comfortable position, relax and after approximately 30 minutes rinse the mask off with lukewarm water. Finally, it is recommended to treat your skin to a suitable cream.

Face mask from eggs and honey
This mask is also suitable for people with sensitive skin; it is very gentle. You can make it easily from just 1 teaspoon of quality bee honey and one egg yolk.

The mask has tightening effects and when you feel them, it’s time to rinse the mask from the skin with lukewarm water.
