Glow Up Naturally: Homemade Face Mask Recipes for Radiant Skin

Updated: Jul 31, 2023


A good skincare routine is essential for healthy and glowing skin. However, sometimes our skin needs a little extra love and care. Face masks are a popular way to rejuvenate the skin and give it a healthy glow. While there are plenty of commercial face masks available in the market, some people prefer using natural ingredients to make their own face masks, and it's not just our grandmothers 😉. Although we usually didn't take them seriously, our grandmothers were right - science confirms that natural ingredients can work wonders when it comes to skin care.

Homemade face masks are maximally packed with natural nutrients and absolutely eco-friendly and we are all about #sustainability at READY! 🤗👊

In this guide, we will discuss some of the best home remedies for a face mask that rejuvenates the skin.



Honey and Lemon Face Mask

Honey and lemon face masks are a great way to rejuvenate the skin. Honey is a natural humectant, which means it helps to moisturize the skin. It is also an antibacterial agent, which helps to prevent acne and other skin problems. Lemon, on the other hand, is rich in Vitamin C, which helps to brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots.


To make a honey and lemon face mask:

  1. Mix one tablespoon of honey and one tablespoon of lemon juice.

  2. Apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes.

  3. Rinse it off with warm water and pat dry.

  4. You can use this mask once or twice a week for best results.


Yogurt and Oatmeal Face Mask

Yogurt and oatmeal face masks are great for people with dry or sensitive skin. Yogurt is rich in lactic acid, which helps to exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin cells. Oatmeal, on the other hand, is a natural exfoliant and helps to soothe irritated skin.


To make a yogurt and oatmeal face mask:

  1. Mix one tablespoon of plain yogurt and one tablespoon of oatmeal.

  2. Apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes.

  3. Rinse it off with warm water and pat dry.

  4. You can use this mask once or twice a week for best results.


Avocado and Banana Face Mask

Avocado and banana face masks are great for people with dry or dull skin. Avocado is rich in healthy fats and Vitamin E, which help to moisturize and nourish the skin. Banana, on the other hand, is rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, which help to brighten and rejuvenate the skin.


To make an avocado and banana face mask:

  1. Mash one ripe avocado and one ripe banana in a bowl.

  2. Apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes.

  3. Rinse it off with warm water and pat dry.

Turmeric and Yogurt Face Mask

Turmeric and yogurt face masks are great for people with acne-prone skin. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory agent, which helps to reduce inflammation and redness caused by acne. It is also rich in antioxidants, which help to prevent acne and other skin problems. Yogurt, on the other hand, helps to exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin cells.


To make a turmeric and yogurt face mask:

  1. Mix one teaspoon of turmeric powder and one tablespoon of plain yogurt.

  2. Apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes.

  3. Rinse it off with warm water and pat dry.

  4. You can use this mask once or twice a week for best results.


Aloe Vera and Cucumber Face Mask

Aloe vera and cucumber face masks are great for people with sensitive or irritated skin. Aloe vera is a natural anti-inflammatory agent, which helps to reduce inflammation and redness caused by skin irritation. It is also rich in antioxidants, which help to prevent skin damage caused by free radicals. Cucumber, on the other hand, is rich in water and helps to hydrate the skin.


To make an aloe vera and cucumber face mask:

  1. Blend half a cucumber and two tablespoons of aloe vera gel in a blender until it forms a smooth paste.

  2. Apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes.

  5. Pro tip: keep this mask in the fridge before use for an extra refreshing effect!


Green Tea and Honey Face Mask

Green tea and honey face masks are great for people with oily or acne-prone skin. Green tea is rich in antioxidants and helps to reduce inflammation caused by acne. Honey, on the other hand, is a natural antibacterial agent, which helps to prevent acne and other skin problems.


To make a green tea and honey face mask:

  1. Brew a cup of green tea and let it cool down.

  2. Mix one tablespoon of honey with two tablespoons of cooled green tea.

Papaya and Honey Face Mask

Papaya and honey face masks are great for people with dull or uneven skin tone. Papaya is rich in enzymes that help to chemically exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin cells. It is also rich in Vitamin C, which helps to brighten the skin. Honey, on the other hand, is a natural humectant, which helps to moisturize the skin.


To make a papaya and honey face mask:

  1. Mash half a ripe papaya and mix it with one tablespoon of honey.

Egg White and Lemon Face Mask

Egg white and lemon face masks are great for people with oily or acne-prone skin. Egg whites are rich in proteins, which help to tighten and firm the skin. They also help to remove excess oil from the skin. Lemon, on the other hand, is rich in Vitamin C, which helps to brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots.


To make an egg white and lemon face mask:

  1. Whisk one egg white until it becomes frothy.
