Two Very Simple Face Masks




In the past I have done tutorials on semi-elaborate masks and reviewed store bought masks, so for this blog I wanted to stick with two extremely easy, (and effective), face masks I have discovered.
Advil Liqui-Gels:
You have probably heard of these already, they are pills to reduce pain and fever, but used as a face treatment the red spots on your face signaling skin irritation.
For twenty of these liquid filled capsules the price is just thirteen dollars.  What I do to release the liquid inside the gel capsules is take a safety pin and poke a hole in the liquid-gels, make the hold bigger if it takes too long to squeeze out.  When you do have the capsule open, put one fourth of the gel on your forehead, one fourth on your right cheek, one fourth on your left cheek, and the fourth one fourth fill go your nose. With your finger rub in the gel until your hold face is covered in this gel, and wait at least three minutes before washing it off with a damp washcloth.
Lemon and Honey Mask:
 For this mask it really doesn't matter what kind of honey you're using, the only thing you might not already have in your kitchen is a lemon.
To start I cut just one fourth of the lemon off of the rest, and put about five drops of honey on the lemon.  Rub the honey into the lemon, the honey might just try and slide right off, so hold the lemon up upright when you do this.
When applying, pull all of your hair back and start rubbing the lemon and honey in from your chin to your forehead, and this may include adding more honey then you at the beginning because it will wear off.  After you have rubbed the lemon with honey all over your face for about two minutes, let the mixture sit for just three to five minutes, and wash off the mask with a wash cloth.

So there are two masks that are very simple to prepare and only take up about twenty minutes of your time.
