 1) Deep Nourishing Lemon Pack
Lemon has oil control properties and good news is that it suits all skin types. It also has skin brightening properties, and lemon extracts in turn do not soak moisture from the skin, making it an absolute go-to element.

How To Use It: Mix a teaspoon of honey in a tablespoon of lemon extracts (juice). Add 4-5 drops of olive oil and make a paste out of it. Wash your face with plain water and apply the pack evenly on your face. Leave it for 15-20 minutes; let the extracts work on your skin. Wipe off with a wet sponge and wash it away later.

 2) Yogurt Face Mask
If time is your long lost friend and you also have big pores, then not to worry, friend, because yogurt face mask is just for you. It helps your pores to get tightened apart from its usual cleansing properties.

How To Use It: You can apply yogurt on your face directly or mix it with juice from an orange slice and pulp along with 1 teaspoon of aloe. Leave it for 10 minutes before rinsing it off to get revitalising skin.

 3) Oatmeal Face Pack
Cereals can do wonders on your face, especially on an acne skin as it absorbs a lot of excess oil from the skin pores. The paste can be a little sticky so one has to wash it off carefully, but its effects are quick.

How To Use It: Make an oatmeal paste by blending the oatmeal in a mixer. Later, add hot-not boiling water to make it a paste. Leave it for several minutes. Add one tablespoon of honey, yogurt and one egg white to the paste and mix it well. Apply a thin layer of this mixture and leave it for 10-15 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.

 4) The Clay Mask
Clay mask is good for oily skin as men’s skin is relatively oilier than women. It deep cleanses the skin and leaves it fully moisturized, thereby making it ideal for summers.

How To Use It: Take any clay or kaolin and mix it with distilled water, aloe vera, honey, egg white and egg yolk to make a thick but smooth paste. Apply it for not more than 10 minutes and rinse it with normal water.

5) Strawberry Face Mask

Strawberries have a lot of beauty care benefits. It contains salicylic acid which removes dead cells from the skin and leaves it softer, like never before. It also has the ability to remove puffiness and dark circles beneath the eyes.

How To Use It: Mash the raw strawberries until they get smooth. To this, add one tablespoon of olive oil to moisturise the skin and two teaspoons of honey to reduce puffiness and inflammation. Apply this paste to your face and rinse it after it gets dry.
