Why it works: This simple DIY mask is easy to throw together and perks up skin while keeping the ingredient list minimal. Turmeric is the all-star ingredient, which works with honey to brighten the complexion and fight blemishes.

2 tablespoons of flour (Try ground oats if your skin is dry.)

3 tablespoons milk
A few drops of honey

Try it: Before your monthly acne flare-up

Why it works: Yogurt contains lactic acid, a natural alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that dissolves old skin cells to reveal fresh, bright skin. Neem powder is another staple in Ayurvedic beauty routines, lauded for its antifungal, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. In India, neem is used to treat everything from eczema to bug bites.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon neem powder (available on Amazon)

Try it: In the summer months, when starfruit is in season and sweat-induced breakouts are at an all-time high

Why it works: Starfruit is rich in vitamin A, which helps control oil, and vitamin C, which acts as a natural protector against sun damage. Since sun exposure and oil are two of the biggest culprits behind breakouts, slathering this on will help keep acne at bay.

Ingredients:
1 starfruit
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon turmeric

Try it: When you want to use your old college ID for a student discount

Why it works: Studies show that wrinkles aren't the No. 1 sign of aging -- that distinction belongs to uneven skin tone. This mask helps even out too-rosy cheeks and lighten signs of sun damage. The citric acid in lemons helps fade dark spots, while honey hydrates and prevents redness.

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons rolled oats (ground into oat flour in food processor)
1 tablespoon manuka honey
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 squeeze fresh lemon juice

Try it: On your wind-whipped skin during the winter months

Why it works: By now, you probably already know the benefits of adding a little coconut oil to your beauty routine, but for the uninitiated: Coconut oil contains healthy fatty acids that deeply hydrate dry skin. Slather this coconut and turmeric face mask on when your skin needs extra hydration — like when your anti-aging or acne creams cause dry patches.

Ingredients:
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
2 tablespoons flour or cornstarch
A few drops honey
2 tablespoons coconut oil
