5 Amazing DIY Face Masks with Honey

Anti-Pigmentation Honey Face Mask

This DIY face mask is composed of three powerful ingredients that combat hyperpigmentation and brighten the skin: honey, turmeric and lemon juice. In addition, honey and turmeric help to prevent acne due to their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and lemon juice acts as a gentle exfoliant due to containing citric acid.

In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp turmeric and 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice. If the mixture is too thick, add some water. Apply the mixture to the areas of your face that have hyperpigmentation, let it sit for 3 minutes, and rinse off. To see results, you should repeat the treatment at least twice a week for a month. Keep in mind that you shouldn’t apply the mask all over your face, as it may cause skin irritation.

Anti-Inflammatory Honey Face Mask

This soothing face mask is specifically designed to reduce skin redness, combat inflammation, fight free radicals, and speed up the healing of damaged skin. The greatest thing about this mask is that it is considered safe for sensitive skin (although you still should do a patch test just in case).

Combine 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp matcha powder and 1 tsp light vegetable oil (for example, sweet almond, jojoba or grapeseed oil). Mix well to get a smooth paste. Apply the paste to your face, leave it on for 15 minutes, rinse off with warm water.

Balancing Honey Face Mask

The main task of this mask is to control oily skin. It contains honey that breaks up excess skin oil, clay that absorbs the oil and gently exfoliates the skin, and apple cider vinegar that controls oil production. All three ingredients also have antibacterial properties and therefore help to prevent acne breakouts.

Combine 1 tsp honey, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar and 1 tsp cosmetic clay (kaolin, bentonite, multani mitti…). Stir well until smooth, apply to your face, wash off with warm water after 15 minutes, and splash your face with cool water.

Moisturizing Honey Face Mask

This mask is perfect for taking care of dry and tired skin. Honey is a humectant that draws moisture from the air and helps to lock it in the skin; avocado provides the skin with vitamins and fatty acids; yogurt contains lactic acid that gently sloughs off dead cells and stimulates skin renewal.

Mash the flesh of a ripe avocado until it is lump-free. Mix 1 tbsp mashed avocado with 1 tsp unflavored and unsweetened yogurt until smooth, then add 2 tsp honey and mix again. Apply the mask to your face, leave it on for 20 minutes, rinse off and follow up with moisturizer.
