Not only are they budget-friendly, but they also contain good quality ingredients – all-natural and fresh.And let’s be honest, sometimes we are too lazy to go to the store and pick a sheet face mask at the store. So here, we give you 8 different face mask recipes that you’d love – this can be a great weekend or after-office plan to do with your friends or by yourself.

Before applying anything to your face, keep in mind these four recommendations: do a patch test first, use the mask on the day you make it, and if you’re not sure about the effect of an ingredient consult your dermatologist first. Important! Always rinse off with lukewarm water and moisturize to seal in the benefits.

While raw ingredients may seem more of a natural alternative, it's always best to test them first. A good area to do a patch test, is the neck.
