Valen’s Vanity Square

If you are a DIY person who likes to whip up your own facial masks from natural ingredients, here are some ideas that you may like to try. I got these ‘recipes’ from a beauty magazine; the ingredients are really simple and easily available.

Just a note: if you have sensitive skin, do seek advice or permission from your skin specialist before you try this!

For smoother skin

- 1 egg white, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of mashed papaya, 1 capsule of vitamin E oil
- Mix all ingredients well. Apply evenly on face for 10 minutes. Rinse off with water.

For firmer skin

- 1 egg white, 1 tablespoon skimmed milk powder, 1/2 teaspoon honey
- Mix all ingredients well. Apply evenly on face, wait till dry, rinse off.

For firmer, fresher and smoother skin and to reduce wrinkles

- 1 tablespoon fresh milk, 4-5 drops olive oil, an appropriate amount of flour
- Mix all ingredients well. Apply evenly on face. Rinse off when dry.

I have not tried making my own masks before. Probably I will try my ‘first’ DIY mask with the third recipe one of these days.
