Homemade Face Mask No. 2: Skin-Balancing Mustard Facial
Try it: When all signs (extreme sensitivity, acne, inflammation, etc.) point to a skin pH imbalance

Why it works: This mustard seeds in this homemade face mask contain sulphur, an bacteria killer that will keep your skin in balance. They're also rich in vitamin A, C and K, which prevent free radicals.

Ingredients:
1/3 cup mild mustard

Directions: First, patch test the mustard on a small area of skin to make sure it's mild enough to safely use on skin. If no irritation occurs, spread the mustard on your face. (You can use a makeup brush if you want to feel fancy ... or at least fancier.) Wait 15 minutes, then wash off with warm water.

Ingredients:
1/3 cup dark cocoa powder
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered oatmeal

Directions: Mix all ingredients into a paste. Apply to face, let sit for 15 minutes. Wash off with warm water and pat dry.

A small-batch, locally sourced, artisanal beauty product is to me what Christmas is to five-year-olds.

While I love the beauty benefits of all-natural products, I don't always love the price tag. Those "made in the USA" and "gluten-free" labels translate to higher prices. That's why I'm equally obsessed with homemade face masks. It's a chance to play chemist in my very own skin apothecary and it costs a fraction of the price of my precious Fair Trade products.

We've rounded up some of the best face mask recipes from dermatologists and beauty experts that deliver skin-healing, glow-inducing magic. Whether you need an avocado mask to hydrate parched skin or an egg-based facial mask to tighten pores, these are the best homemade face masks for your skin.
