How to Make a DIY Face Mask

Want healthy, glowing skin? It's tough these days. Pollution, stress, and all those chemicals in store-bought products! But guess what? There's a cool way to get around all that: DIY face masks.

Why DIY Face Masks?

DIY masks let Anda control what goes on Anda's face. Forget harsh chemicals! Here's why they're so popular:

• Natural stuff only! Anda pick the ingredients. No more parabens. No fake smells.
• Made just for Anda! Dry skin? Acne? Tailor the mask to Anda's needs.
• Cheap! Way cheaper than fancy store brands.
• Good for the planet. Less packaging. All-natural stuff.
• Fun! It's relaxing to make and use them.

Know Your Skin

Important: Know Anda's skin type! Using the wrong stuff can make things worse. Here's a quick guide:

• Normal: Not too oily, not too dry. Just right.
• Dry: Feels tight. Maybe flaky. Needs moisture!
• Oily: Shiny. Big pores. Prone to breakouts.
• Combination: Oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), dry cheeks.
• Sensitive: Gets red and itchy easily. Reacts to lots of stuff.

Figure out Anda's skin type. Then, pick ingredients that work for Anda. Not sure? Test the mask on a small spot first. Like Andar wrist. See if Anda have a reaction.
