3 Natural Homemade Masks

I found this three different homemade masks that have natural beauty boosters in them. And they're not very expensive and most of us have these things around our kitchens.

Olive Oil Mask: Mix Olive Oil with a little avocado and apply to the skin. Leave on for about 10 minutes and rinse. Olive Oil is anti-fungal antibacterial and full of antioxidants.

Sweet Honey Cleanser: Mix 1/2 teaspoon honey, 2 teaspoons yogurt and 2 teaspoons brewed green tea. Apply to face. Leave on for about 10 minutes and rinse. Honey reduces redness in skin and helps treat acne. It's also a humectant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral.

Papaya Mask: Cut a slice of rip Papaya, remove the seeds and pulp, then rub the inside peel of the papaya on a clean face, focus on lines around the mouth and eyes, crow's feet, thinning temples, neck and hands. Leave on for 15-20 minutes. Then rinse with tepid water (2 parts cold water, one part hot water). Do mask twice a week.
