If you’re a regular reader, you know by now that we love putting food on our face. But not in a crazy way, I swear! In a perfectly normal, natural-loving way. My coconut oil jar is always moving back and forth between the kitchen and the bathroom, and more avocado halves than countable have been known to end up mashed into a mask.

37 DIY Face Masks

It’s safe to say we’ve got a natural face mask for everything: acne, dry skin, enlarged pores, aging skin, you name it! Whatever the problem, it can probably be remedied the natural way: with food on your face!

Dry skin

1. Make a moisturizing Greek yogurt mask to benefit from probiotics, calcium and live bacteria directly on your skin! Leave your mask on for 20 minutes and enjoy moisturized, glowing skin.

2. To detox dry, winter skin, try this grapefruit face mask. It will gently exfoliate the skin, clean out the pores and calm the inflammation of dry skin.

3. Moisturize your skin overtime with an avocado honey mask. The honey retains moisture while the oil in avocados treats dry patches, making your skin look better than ever.

4. Dry, irritated skin could use this calming face mask. It’s made with hydrating cucumber and soothing oatmeal, perfect for cold days.

5. For dry skin, moisture is what you need! Try this strawberry honey face mask to exfoliate and moisturize at the same time.

Oily skin

6. Make this egg white honey mask and enjoy tightened, toned skin without excess oil. The mask also contains ground oats, which absorb oil and exfoliate the skin.

7. Make a white Kaolin clay mask to balance oily skin. It has drying effects that will leave your skin feeling nice and clean.

8. Remove oil from your skin with an apple lemon mask. The effects are due to the natural fruit acids contained by apple and lemon, paired with sage’s astringent properties which help close up the pores.

Combination skin

9. If your skin combines an oily T-zone with side dry patches, you need to multi-task your mask. Let all the ingredients work at once for skin that feels good.

Sensitive skin

10. Try a soothing oatmeal mask if you have sensitive skin. Easy to make with just 2 ingredients, this mask is calming and anti-inflammatory.
