Going to the spa is a nice treat, but it’s one that costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time. Fortunately you can save a lot of cash by just making your own herbal masks at home. By making the mask yourself you will know which ingredients go into it and what you can expect your skin to feel like when it’s off.

Below you will find the tree top recipes that you can whip up in no time, enjoy!

1. Oily Herbal Mask

• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 egg white
• Pinch of brewer’s yeast
• Crushed dried lavender flowers

Simply combine all of these ingredients together until you have a paste. Then, rub it onto your skin and leave on for around 20 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. The ingredients in this will help get rid of extra oils, but it will also moisturize your skin so it’s left feeling soft and supple. Do this once or twice per week and you will see your skin looking beautiful in no time!

2. Lemongrass Mask

• 1 tsp organic honey
• 2 tsp organic yogurt
• 1 tbsp sage leaf
• 1 tbsp lemongrass
• 1 tsp red French clay powder

Start by boiling one cup of water, then pour it over the lemongrass and sage leaf. After this steeps for 15 minutes, strain it but reserve the liquid.

In a different bowl combine the clay, honey and yogurt together and then add in 1 tsp of the herbal liquid you made in the first step. Stir this all up together, but add more liquid if you get a paste that’s too thick. This is a mask that can help reduce oiliness, but it can also cleanse and tone your skin. Repeat this on a weekly basis for the best results and you will save money without sacrificing great skin.

3. Lavender Face Mask

• 1.5 tsp flax seeds
• 1 tbsp lavender flowers
• 1 tbsp rolled oats
• 1 tbsp almond meal
• 1 drop lemon extract

Start out by boiling one cup of water. While this is boiling, grind your rolled oats up in a food processor. Next, pour the water over the lavender and flax seed and let it steep for fifteen minutes. After this, strain it but make sure to save the liquid that is left over. In a separate bowl mix together the almond meal and rolled oats, then add the lemon extract and some liquid from when you steeped the flowers and flax seeds. Mix and add more liquid until you have a paste, then you are done!

Gently rub this onto your clean skin and leave it on for 20 minutes. Rinse it off with warm water and then splash cold water on your face to finish. Pat your skin dry and then apply your favorite moisturizer. This will help reduce oils, but it will also exfoliate your skin and make it feel super soft.
All of these recipes are easy to make and most ingredients can be found at your local health food store. Try to use organic ingredients as much as you can, as these are made without harmful chemicals and ingredients that can actually be bad for your skin.
