Your skin is an extremely important part of you body to take care of. Women spend hundreds of dollars every year in the pursuit of and maintaining perfectly clear skin. One of the priciest treatments for skin are facials. Facials rejuvenate your skin and leave you with a healthy glow. Did you know you can achieve that rejuvenation and glow without leaving your house? Take a step in your pantry! Save some serious money by trying out these incredible homemade face masks that are simple and work effectively.
*All of these masks should only stay on for about 20 minutes.
Tightening and Firming Mask
If you are wanting to tighten and firm your skin try the coffee and honey mask! Rubbing coffee grounds on skin is known to stimulate skin and increase blood flow. This is applicable to people who have cellulite. Cellulite usually occurs when there is a lack of stimulation and blood flow to a certain area. That is why cellulite often occurs on a person’s legs and bottom due to the lack of blood flow when sitting often for an extended period of time. This mask can be applied to your face or any part of your body. Mix 2 tsp of coffee grounds and 2 tsp of honey, rub it into skin in a circular motion, then rinse after a few minutes.

Anti-Aging Mask
Your 20’s are the time you should start taking care of the youth of your skin. Think about it! Your skin has taken years of sunburns, makeup trials, sweaty work outs, and pimple popping! That can really take its tole after a while! For a natural way to fight signs of aging, take 2 tbsp of aloe vera and 1 tbsp of egg white, mix together, and apply to your skin. The egg’s protein stimulates collagen synthesis and the aloe hydrates to retain the elasticity of your skin.
