Honey, Yogurt, and Avocado Mask

Ingredients:

½ ripe avocado
1 teaspoon Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon honey (preferably raw)

How it works: Avocado is one of the best ingredients not only for your soul food but for your face as well. Not to mention that it is full of omega-3 fatty acids that are anti-inflammatory. Honey is also one of the ingredients that will prevent any inflammatory process on your face or in your body. Yogurt is here to gently exfoliate and smoothen the lines, thanks to vitamin C and lactic acid.

Cinnamon, Honey, and Lemon Mask

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons honey
½ fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon of cinnamon

How it works: This powerful combination is great not only for your face but for your oatmeal topping as well. Cinnamon is a great exfoliator, yet it will reduce inflammation and redness as well. Honey as mentioned will protect you from bacteria, while lemon juice is powerful in removing dark spots from sun damage.

Egg and Honey Mask

Ingredients:

1 egg
1 tablespoon of honey

How it works: Egg whites are high in protein and can boost collagen production in the skin. That is why your lines and wrinkles will be less visible. This mask will tighten the skin, making your face look young. But not only that. Winter time is here, and you will need something that can prevent bacteria on your face to appear. That is why honey is here to help.

Olive Oil, Honey, and Yogurt Mask

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons yogurt
1 tablespoon olive oil

How it works: Yogurt is enriched with zinc and lactic acid, which make your skin look smooth and moisturized. It is also an exfoliator that takes away debris, dirt, and pollution, that knows to be pretty boring in the winter time. Olive oil will moisturize the skin, it is enriched with multiple vitamins.

Coffee, Honey, and Milk Mask

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon coffee, powder or instant
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon milk (of choice)

How it works: Coffee is good in the morning, yet we bet you didn’t know it is perfect for your skin. Coffee has antimicrobial properties that help with cleansing pores and preventing acne.
