\"face<\/a><\/p>\n

Pampering yourself is a nice way to relax, melt away the day, and treat yourself. Homemade face\u00a0masks do all of these things while also helping to rejuvenate and refresh your skin. There’s no need to go out and drop a load of cash on fancy face masks that are just loaded with chemicals<\/a>! All of the best ingredients to use on your skin, nature has already provided. A quick trip to your local grocery store’s produce aisle will have you stocked. Since the ingredients are cheap and good for you, there’s no reason you can’t pamper yourself everyday! Here are five facial masks that you can make using grocery store ingredients.<\/p>\n

1. Moisturizing Banana Mask<\/h3>\n

Even though winter has passed, dry skin can still pop up and be a problem. For those who can still have flaky trouble spots, try using this moisturizing banana mask found on Food.com. <\/a> Honey is wonderfully moisturizing and the oats add some exfoliation to get rid of the flaky bits.<\/p>\n

Next >> Avocado and Milk<\/a>

2. Avocado and Milk Mask<\/h3>\n

Check out this moisturizing avocado face mask on\u00a0Inhabitat<\/a>. Avocado is loaded with good fats and is just as good for your outer beauty as it is for your inner. There are also some bonus recipes for incorporating avocado into masks for the hair!<\/p>\n

3. Strawberry and Yogurt Mask<\/h3>\n

If oily skin is more of a problem for you, try this strawberry and yogurt mask found on Dr. Granny.<\/a> Strawberries have great astringent-like properties and can help to cleanse the face naturally and effectively. Try one of the other recipes found here too like the baking soda<\/a> mask or the apple and honey mask.<\/p>\n

Next >> Mango<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Mango “AHA” Mask<\/h3>\n

AHA’s, also known as alpha-hydroxy acids, are seen in so many beauty products on shelves today. These acids help to improve your skin’s tone, texture, and clarity by sloughing away dead skin cells on the surface. Besides products on the shelf, AHA treatments like chemical peels, are costly. Follow these simple steps from Eco Chick to get all of the benefits of a chemical peel without all of the harsh chemicals by using mango instead.<\/a> The fruit acids present in the mango do a lot of the same work that alpha hydroxy acids do, except you can’t eat alpha hydroxies! <\/p>\n

Next >> Pumpkin<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Pumpkins\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

5. Pumpkin Mask<\/h3>\n

Even though fall is still thankfully months away, you can still whip up a pumpkin mask using this recipe found on The Hip Yogin<\/a>i. Canned pumpkin, mixed with a few other ingredients, will make a mask that is full of zinc, beta carotene and vitamins. I would recommend substituting regular milk in the recipe with coconut milk for added moisture.<\/p>\n

These recipes are simply a jumping off point to discovering what works best for you and your skin type. Here is a great list of grocery store ingredients and their usefulness, found on The Imam’s Daughter, so you can create your own special concoction.<\/a><\/p>\n
