During the last year, my daughters and I have had several at-home spa days. We usually do a homemade facemask and our nails. Occasionally we add in hair treatments. We have a lot of fun doing at-home spa days, save money, and feel rejuvenated afterward.
Today I want to share a few of our favorite homemade facial mask recipes with you. Most of the ingredients are things people usually have on hand.
These homemade facial masks can be messy. I suggest wearing a top you aren’t concerned about ruining. I would also have a towel close by.
Fruit & Veggie Facial Mask
The Fruit & Veggie Facial Mask is great for helping minimize fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps moisturize dry skin.
Ingredients
1/2 of a ripe avocado
1/2 of a ripe banana
1 TBS oil (coconut, olive, or avocado)
Directions
To make the Fruit & Veggie Facial Mask, simply combine the ingredients in a glass or plastic bowl until it has a smooth texture. Once they are blended, apply to your face and allow them to rest for 10-15 minutes. Then wash with a cool damp towel. Gently pat dry.
Tumeric & Oat Facial Mask
The Tumeric & Oat Facial Mask is great for exfoliating and hydrating dry skin. It also helps reduce redness, inflammation, and breakouts.
To make the Tumeric & Oat facial mask, mix the ingredients in a bowl (non-metal) until well blended then brush on your face. Allow the mask to stay on for 15-20 minutes. Then wash with a cool damp towel. Gently pat dry.
Occasionally the turmeric will leave a subtle yellow tinge on your skin. This can easily be washed off with your normal skin cleanser and/or an exfoliator.
Cucumber & Yogurt Facial Mask
The Cucumber & Yogurt Facial Mask can help soothe irritated skin, promote healing, and brighten your completion.
Ingredients
2-3 inches of a cucumber
1 TBS Greek yogurt
1 TBS aloe vera
2 TBS oats
Directions
To make the Cucumber & Yogurt Facial Mask, blend all ingredients until smooth. Apply the mix to your face and let the mask rest for about 20-30 minutes. Then wash with a cool damp towel. Gently pat dry.
Having an at-home spa day is a lot of fun. The three facial mask recipes I shared are both easy and inexpensive to make.
Do you have at-home spa days? What do you do for them?
Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.
I love that these are made with natural ingredients, so I feel comfortable with my daughters doing it. I think I will try the fruit and veggie facial mask soon. My daughters always love having a “spa day” at home. 🙂
I don’t know whether I should eat these or put it on my face or both!! I have to chuckle about what we will do to keep us looking young and beautiful. Of course, I have to pin this! These sound cheaper than buying the stuff on the market. Thank you for sharing!
I like something that is easy and easy to make I like the Turmeric & Oat Facial Mask I’ll have to try that one and the Cucumber and Yogurt one sounds interesting. Has it helped your face?
I used to do this but haven’t for a long time! I love natural ingredients, I find that even the so-called ‘natural’ ones from the store still contain a lot of unnecessary ingredients, so homemade is best. This post has inspired me to make my own face masks again. Thank you!
These are really cool facial mask ideas. Great the a girls sleepover pretty much have in the pantry or whatnot. I’ve never tried a homemade one, but if I were to try one the Cucumber & Yogurt Facial Mask sounds good for me.

We have spa days to do manicures and pedicures. I like the idea of homemade masks especially the cucumber and yogurt one.
