Since every skin is different, we recommend to first use the mask on a part of your hand to see how your skin reacts.

The ingredients in this first mask dry out your pimples and the scrub the face because of the baking soda. The lemon juice disinfects the skin and acts as a toner. This mask can be used once per week.

Step 1. Put all the ingredients into a bowl

Step 2. Mix it up with a spoon or fork until it’s a paste like on the picture

Step 3. Apply it onto your face with a make-up brush or your hands

Step 4. Let the mask sit for 10 minutes and rinse off with warm water

The second mask will tighten your skin because of the egg white and the milk leaves the skin feeling moisturized. This mask can be used 2 times a week.

Step 1. Break the egg and make sure you only use the egg white

Step 2. Put in 2 tablespoons of milk in the same bowl as the egg white

Step 3. Mix this up with a spoon or fork

Step 4. Apply the mixture onto your face with a make-up brush or your hands

Step 4. Let the mask sit for 10 minutes and rinse off with warm water

For the last mask you need blueberries and some honey. Since blueberries have a lot of antioxidants and vitamins it will give your skin a nice glow and the honey can help dark spots and acne scarring. This mask can be used once per week.
