Cooling Yogurt Face Mask(for all skin types)
...great for sunburned, irritated skin!

Ingredients:

  * 1 tbsp natural yogurt, room temperature (not lowfat or non-fat)
  * 1 tsp runny honey (microwave for a few minutes to soften hardened honey)

Preparation:
Combine mixture, then apply to face.
Let sit for 15 minutes.
Wash face with steaming washcloth.

Variations:
  * For dry skin, use an extra tsp of honey.
  * Oily skin? Add a few drops of fresh lime juice.



Banana Mask for Oily Skin
...this face mask cleans and soothes!

Ingredients:

  * 1 banana, preferably ripe
  * 1 tbsp honey
  * An orange or a lemon

Preparation:
Mix the banana and honey together.
Add a few drops of juice from an orange or a lemon.
Apply to face for 15 minutes before rinsing with a cool washcloth or a steaming warm washcloth.

Variations:

  * Freeze the banana (peeled and cubed), then let thaw, or simply chill it overnight in the fridge for extra coolness.
  * Add hot water to some instant oatmeal to make a thick paste. Let cool, then add to the mixture. The oatmeal will exfoliate your skin and soothe any irritations.

2008-08-06 [NOOOPE]: I was expecting actually masks but really?! Well, uh, excuse me as I go smear banana all over my face. That is so cool.

2008-08-06 [Mordigen]: they're good -- I went and tried them when she turned them in before publishing XD. And the banana mask feels amazing......even though I don't have oily skin, so really, it did me no good -- it still *felt* nice and refresing haha -- definately 'soothing' as it claims ;)

2008-08-06 [NOOOPE]: Being the queen of all greasiness, I will definitely try it then.
