How to make wonderful and practical facemasks at home using fruits, herbs and flowers. The plus is you can apply the mask and let it do its magic while cleaning the house or working on the pc!

Making your own facial packs are not only an economical way to care for your skin, but they also are far richer in healing properties and nutrients than commercial varieties. To prepare the following masks just blend the ingredients noted to form a thick paste, apply to skin, and relax for about 20 minutes. If you are busy, you can do stuff around the house while you are wearing them. I do! You may want to see my page on general terms to understand the difference between a “decoction” and an “infusion” etc. To view this page click The Formulary. Feel free to mix other ingredients you may want to add that can enhance your results. Also, I always recommend using organic materials whenever possible. Lastly, if you find the mask is too thick, you can always add a little pure water to get it to the consistency you like best. Enjoy!
