Top 10+ DIY Face Masks for Every Skin Type 

For all you cuties pressed for time or can’t find the best ingredients to make these face masks, not to worry! I’ve just added some amazing organic products you can buy online that will give you the same results as using fresh ingredients from Nature.

1.    DIY Rice Face Mask for Glass Skin 

A good meal for your skin? RICE! Whip up a small bowl of this DIY rice face mask for bright youthful skin. 

Rice is a popular beauty ingredient in ancient Asian cultures. Now it’s time to let you onto the secret of that wrinkle-free skin! 

It brightens and clarifies skin so that your face is left soft and smooth!

You can use cooked rice that is blended to a mushy paste instead of rice flour. But I find rice flour to be an excellent face mask ingredient since it needs no cooking and has exfoliating action too! 

What you need 

• 2 TBSP rice flour (where to get it)
• 1 TSP raw honey (where to get it)
• 2 TBSP milk
• Mixing bowl, spoon and applicator brush set (where to get it)

Directions 

1. In a bowl, add rice flour, raw honey then add the milk while mixing to form a spreadable paste. Add more or less milk as you need to create a face mask consistency.

3. Keep on for 7-10 minutes. 
4. Rinse off using warm water first, then cold water.
5. Pat dry and follow the rest of your skin care routine (toner, serum, moisturizer, sunscreen, etc) as usual. I like using this Japanese skin care set afterwards – it focuses on making your skin attain that glassy porcelain look!
6. Use once a week.

Take Care

No matter the components of your DIY face masks, you should always do a patch test because we all have unique skin that reacts differently to different ingredients.

To do a patch test, simply apply a small amount of your DIY face mask of choice behind your ear. 

Rinse off after 15 minutes and wait for about ½ to 1 hour to see if there’s any reaction. By reaction, I mean redness, itchiness or any type of irritation. 

Some people even wait for up to 24 hours to see if their skin can handle any type of product.
