facial masks
Do you guys know any recipes or something for home made facial masks to clear pores ? You know every day objects like milk eggs or something. Something that works & wont like make you break out as much. Id appreciate it if you gave me some ideas so I can clear my skin more so i dont have to buy as much products. Thanks for the help <33

Well, I have a few homemade ones,,and they are really really good and awesome and all of them helps clear your skin (acne, blackheads) and make your pores smaller (so your face looks smooth and flawless without all the foundation and concelers)
--In a small bowl, add a tablespoon of honey, about 1 and a half TBS of milk, and 2 1/2-3TBS of flour. Make sure it's thick enough to stay on your face. If it's too watery, add somemore flour and a little bit of honey. Heat in up in the microwave for about 15sec, or until warm, mix it all together and put it onyour face. Leave it on there until it's almost dry and then wash it off with luke warm water (If it's dry dry, don't force it off. Soften it with the water first then let it come off smoothly)
--Red ginsang [sp?] it's expensive but oh so so good. Get the thick liquid version and mix that with hot water in a small bowl (you don't need to put in too much...about 1teaspoon on the ginsang and 2-3 tablespoon of water) Add in a litte flour to make the solution thick, dip some gauze (with holes only) into it and put it on your face...leave it on until it's dry and again, wash off with luke warm water and don't yank the gauze off, soften it with the water if it's too dry and then take if off gently.
--Chestnuts...make them powdery (very finely chopped) Mix it with hot water and flour (make it thick) and spread it on your face...and do the same steps as the first one (honey, flour, and milk)
--Green tea. It's not a facial mask...but it's very effective. Make green tea (Green tea powder or bag with water..and only those two. no sugar, honey or anything else). Cool it down to room temp and soak a facial towel or several cotton pads in it...make sure it's pretty soaked..but not dripping wet and put it on your face for 5-10min. You can make a lot at one time and put it in a bottle or something and pour some out each time you want to use it =D

Hi,
One word : Water
No, I'm not being an idiot and telling you to wash your face.. 0=)
Get a large glass bowl, and a heat-proof surface that you can put on a table which you can sit at.
Pour boiling water into the bowl (depending on how tolerant your skin is to heat, dilute it with cool water).
Drape a towel, or clean tea-towel (a corner from a thick sheet will do if you're desperate) over your head, around the edges of the bowl so that the steam from the bowl is concentrated on your skin.
DO NOT let the towel get into the water, because it will wick water, and could end up burning you.
If you're too hot, cool the water down, but the idea is sort of like a facial-sauna, so your face should get reasonably hot, and may be flushed afterwards for a while.
If you have trouble breathing steam, you might want to use a straw to breath
After 10 minutes or so, with clean hands you can gently clear any blackheads that are really bothering you, and after that finish by splashing your face with cool (cold is enjoyable if you like a bit of a shock) water.
Also, if you want a dis-infectant for your skin, try finding 'Witch-hazel', and putting it in a spraybottle. It's refreshingly cool, and you can just spray it on and leave it.
If you've got really bad skin, see a dermatologist, they have some good ways of treating things these days, especially if you're female.
