Facials masks have been used for generations to help clear pores and soften skin. There are millions of different types of facial masks. Some are available at spa’s, other’s you can purchase in stores and some can be made at home! All natural facial masks use natural ingredients to leave you with a beautiful glow and a fresh face. You should use a facial mask weekly to clear your pores and get rid of built up oily and dirt. Making masks with natural ingredients is simple to do and can be very effective.
Some masks can be made with just one ingredient. Two good examples are a milk mask and an egg mask.

To apply the milk facial, just use a cotton swab, dip it into some milk and apply to your face. Do the same with the egg. You should leave these on your face for about 20 minutes before washing with warm water. These simple ingredients will not make you break out and can definitely benefit your skin.
