How to Make All Natural Face Masks

[welcomewiki]

Face masks are a great way to address a variety of skin issues, like acne and dryness. Natural, homemade face masks take already beloved foods and instead use them for cosmetic benefits.

Figure out what your skin needs and create an all-natural mask to pamper those issues away!

Steps

Hydrating and Exfoliating Your Skin
