My very big nose, which I love, is my issue. Everything gets trapped there. I guess my T zone in general. Very oily.

I use a kitchen scouring pad on my face once a week. I'm not joking either.



Just add a little cream soap to the sponge and press lightly with a circular motion, along your t-zone and neck.

Afterwards, I slather my face in vaseline.

I have very few wrinkles and even the few I have are more like fine lines. I'm 38 this year, but my skin looks ten years younger.

I also use vaseline as night cream around my mouth and my eyes. The type with aloe vera is best.

I'll buy that! ...and i would use some vitamin e oil and wrap my face in a silk or cotton cloth to sleep in. once you wash your face the next morning... smooth as silk babe!

Korres Yogurt Mask for normal/combination skin is pretty good.

Thanks everyone. I need to get on it.

Oh, this is a face thread.

I can't see a mask (they must not make one anymore), but this is my favorite cleanser of all time.

Lemon Face Mask
This lemon astringand exfoliant properties, making it a natural choice for oily skin

4 tablespoons clay

2 teaspoons lemon pulp

2 teaspoons honey

2 teaspoons water

2 drops of jojoba oil (optional)

Mix the ingredients thoroughly and apply to face. Leave on for 15 minutes and then rinse off with warm water. Then apply your moisturizer and do not forget the sunscreen.

If you are in a hurry just use lemon juice and water in equal parts and then let dry. Wash off with cool water.


Normal, combination skin, oily and blemished skin



Mix one egg white, 1/2 cup cooked instant oatmeal, a teaspoon olive oil and a few drops of lemon juice until smooth. Spread on your face and neck, leave on for 15 – 30 min then rinse with lukewarm water. Few drops lemon juice will help to reduce blackheads while egg white will leave your skin feel “tight” after this mask application.

Dry oatmeal makes a good scrub too - but it's messy.

Oatmeal Mask
Great Homemade Masks For Oily Skin
Nutrition masks for oily skin are very good substitutes for expensive creams: They are cheap, easy to make and they give exactly the same results. This is how you're going to make them yourselves.

1/2 boiled apple
One teaspoon of honey
Two teaspoons of ground oatmeal

Mix all the ingredient until you get an uniform mixture, apply on the face for ten minutes and wash carefully afterward.

The oatmeal is good for pimples, it also absorb the excess oil on the skin. The acids in the apple remove the dead skin cells and clean the pores. The honey works as an antibacterial ointment that destroys bacterium, that can cause infections.


Yogurt Mask

One spoon on yogurt
One teaspoon of cornflour
One spoon of honey
One spoon of lemon juice
two drops of tea tree oil

Mix everything together and apply on clean skin. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes and wash with lukewarm water.

Tomato Mask

Tightens the pores, refreshing and lightning.

Mash one medium tomato. Add scraped peel from half of a lemon and a half of spoon of fresh lemon juice. Apply the mixture on the skin, except near the eyes. Leave for ten minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water.

Walnut Mask

2 spoon of ground walnut
1/2 mashed cucumber
2 spoons of yogurt
1 spoon of squashed yeast

Mix it all up and apply on clean face. Wait 20 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water.

What about something for extremely dry sensitive skin...

You're going to be completely grossed out but this, but nothing works better.


Take cat litter clay (just normal clay--not the fancy stuff. The cheap stuff that has absolutely nothing in it).

Grind it in a blender or coffee grinder.
Add a little warm water (and a tiny drop of olive oil if you want to soften your skin). Then apply it to your face and let it sit for a bit. Then wash off.
It will detoxify your skin.



Or google "natural face mask".. The natural remedies are just as effective as the commercial stuff. Seriously.

Avocado Facial Mask - Mash half an avocado and apply it on the face thoroughly everywhere and let it stay till it dries up completely and then wash it off with cold water.


Banana Honey Yogurt Facial Mask - Mash a banana thoroughly and mix it with 1 teaspoon honey and 2 teaspoons yogurt and apply it on the face evenly. Leave it on the face till the skin absorbs.

Cucumber Yogurt Facial Mask - Make a puree of 0,5 a cucumber and 1 tablespoon yogurt in a blender and apply it on the face evenly. Leave it on the face for 10-15 minutes and then wash it off with cold water.


Egg Almond Facial Mask - This is very good for dry skin. Beat 1 egg and add 1 teaspoon of almond oil to it and mix it thoroughly and apply it on the face evenly and leave it on for around 10-15 minutes. Rinse it off after that with cold water

OK...speaking of skin...My son has a ton of blackheads on his nose & he uses the biore pore strips...very pricy & dont work well either.

any suggestions on what might help. I told him to use the st ives microdermabrasion scrub. it works for me.

it's not a mask, but i use lemon juice mixed with plain old sugar and use it as a scrub. you can do the whole body with it and i find it really good.

Extremely inexpensive, can be found anywhere, and I find that they work better FOR ME than the expensive scrubs. I use the deep scrub every night and the clay mask once a week.

And after tanning, if my face gets dry, I'll use this:
