What Is a DIY Skin Mask
A DIY skin mask is a homemade face treatment made from common kitchen ingredients. People use it to cleanse, hydrate, or soothe the skin without buying commercial products.
Common Ingredients and Their Uses
Honey can help retain moisture, while plain yogurt may gently exfoliate with lactic acid. Oatmeal can calm irritated skin, and avocado adds healthy fats that support the skin barrier.
Basic Steps to Make a DIY Skin Mask
Start with clean skin, mix your chosen ingredients into a smooth paste, apply a thin layer, leave it on for 10 to 20 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. Patch test first if you have sensitive skin or allergies.
