I’m a huge believer in natural remedies. From simple cold remedies to homemade face masks, I believe in going the natural route. When it comes to skin care, I’ve always followed the mantra of “less is more”, less chemicals and more ingredients that are unprocessed/unaltered. In my medicine cabinet you’ll find less of the latest beauty rages and more essential oils, rose water and simple cold creams.
Winter weather can be harsh on our skin. Snow and wind make our cheeks and nose ache while indoor heating systems leave us dry and itchy. And while it’s not always easy to make time for a spa treatment, some of our best treatments can be made right within our kitchen. Keep reading for five simple face masks that you can make at home to pamper that gorgeous part of you that greets the world each and every day.
For best results from these masks, steam your face for at least 5 minutes before application. Doing so, will open up the pores of the skin and let the mask effectively soak in.
Turmeric and Sandalwood Face Mask
An easy and fast way to get long-lasting and instant glow, this face mask helps to cure pimples and acne.
Papaya and Honey Face Mask
Papaya contains alpha hydroxy acids that exfoliates skin and has anti-aging properties. Lemon rejuvenates our skin while the honey helps moisturize it.
Chickpea Flour and Yogurt Face Mask
The chickpea flour helps reduce blemishes and yogurt and honey help moisturizes and hydrate dry skin.
Turmeric and Yogurt Face Mask
The yogurt and honey help moisturizes and hydrate dry skin while turmeric destroys bacteria within our pores.
Nutmeg and Honey Face Mask
Nutmeg acts as a gentle exfoliator that’s great for sensitive skin and naturally kills off bacteria to prevent future breakouts while moisturizing it.

Hello Nisha,
Thanks for sharing your homemade face masks, and your daughter is so beautiful! She enjoys her face mask too 🙂
Face mask from natural ingredients are always the best. My mom likes to use egg white for her face masks.
Well, well, well!.I never thought of making my own facial masks. With your guidance, I believe that I could start making now. This seemed simple enough. Let me find some time first.
this looks good.. will definitely be trying it out… thanks for the share
I haven’t made a homemade mask in a long time! These look great!
I tried homemade masks before but my skin got breakouts more than just using over-the-counter masks. Maybe i should try the one with the yogurt though
Thanks for the tips and mask recipes. I will try it our during the weekend.
Looks quite easy to prepare, will try it out, thanks for sharing 🙂
