Homemade Face Masks

*  Papaya and Tomato Mask for Combination Skin

1. Mash 8-10 cubes of papaya and mix it with some tomato pulp to make a smooth paste.

2. Apply this on your face and keep it on for 15 minutes.

3. Rinse with lukewarm water.

* Yoghurt and Watermelon

Fresh, unflavoured yoghurt keeps skin soft, and watermelon keeps it cool. Together they are perfect to soothe sunburned skin.

1. Blend a few medium sized watermelon cubes with a cup of yoghurt.

2. Use a brush to apply this mixture on your face and other sunburned area.

3. Wait for 20 minutes and wash off.

*  Aloe Vera and Lemon Juice

Lemon juice effectively removes grease, while adding a fresh fragrance to your skin, and aloe vera keeps your skin moisturised.

1. Whip up a quick face mask by taking two tablespoons of aloe vera gel (or scrape fresh gel from an aloe vera plant), and adding two teaspoons of fresh lemon juice into it. 2. Use the mix to cover your face and wash after 20 minutes.
