Easy DIY Face Pack To Try This Spring

These DIY face masks are tried and tested.

Try to use organic ingredients whenever possible, as the skin on your face is thinner than other parts of your body and can soak up toxins much more easily.

Papaya Mask to Brighten Aging Skin

Papaya is rich in antioxidants, and its enzymes help to slough away old, dry skin cells for a glowing, healthy complexion.

You Need:

1/2 a ripe papaya peeled, seeded, and sliced

1/2 teaspoon honey

1/4 teaspoon lemon or lime juice

To Make:

Puree the papaya in a food processor or blender until just mashed evenly, and then blend in the other ingredients by hand.

Spread over your face, avoiding your eyes, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.

Wipe or rinse your face clean, and smile at yourself in the mirror.

Strawberry Lemon Mask for Oily/Problem Skin

Strawberries contain salicylic acid (which is great for acne-prone skin), while lemon juice helps to tighten pores and remove old, dead skin cells. Yogurt and honey have antibiotic properties, and this entire blend is as good for your outsides as it is in a drink. Use any leftovers in a slurp-able smoothie with the milk of your choice.

You Need:

1/4 cup mashed strawberries

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon yogurt

1 tablespoon honey

To Make:

Mash all of the ingredients together, but do not puree in a blender: you want this to be spreadable, not a liquid.

Apply evenly all over your face and let sit 8-10 minutes.
