As we recently saw on Hollywood Green, there are ways that you can green up your beauty without utilizing harmful chemicals or even additional packaging.  In fact, you can clear and firm up your skin with things that you’ve likely got laying around in your own kitchen right now.  Why go buy face masks when you can make them totally naturally yourself?  Here are some basic face masks that you can make on your own, and in a matter of minutes.

 

All of these ingredients are simple to put together to make a great face mask.  Just mash the given ingredients together and let the mixture sit on your face for 10-15 minutes.

 

Here are the items you should try combining:

 

Apple+Honey+Oatmeal

Avocado+Honey

Banana+Yogurt+Honey

Brown Sugar+Milk

Strawberries+Cream+Honey

Egg Yolk+Honey+Olive Oil

Oatmeal+Olive Oil

Cucumber+Yogurt+Strawberries+Honey

Blended Almonds+Honey+Egg White

Baking Soda+Water

Apricots+Milk

Lemon+Egg+Honey

 

All of these combinations make for wonderful masks and they help to green up your life and improve your skin simultaneously.  Try them!
