Here are eight homely treatments or facials for you to make the best of this quarantine phase:

1. Banana Facial

Banana masks are the most natural and one of the best home-made facial masks that can be applied to your skin. It helps in moisturising your skin, leaving it softer. Mash up a banana into a smooth paste, then gently apply it to your face and neck. Let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes, then rinse it off with cold water. Another popular mask recipe calls for 1/4 cup plain yoghurt, 2 tablespoons honey (a natural acne remedy) and 1 medium banana.

2. Milk Facial

Nothing can be healthier and more beneficial for your skin than milk. Isn't it? Milk is capable to make your skin soft, reduce the pigmentation of your skin, hydrate it and heal issues like acne. For making this face mask, use a half cup of powdered milk with enough water to form a thick paste. Coat your face with this mixture thoroughly, allowing it to dry entirely. Post that, simply rinse it with warm water. Soon, your face will start to feel fresh and rejuvenated.

3. Yogurt Facial

When we are talking about softness, how can we forget yoghurt? Just to cleanse your skin and tighten the pores, slather some plain yoghurt on your face and let it sit for about 20 minutes. For a revitalising facial mask, mix 1 teaspoon plain yoghurt with the juice from 1/4 slice of orange, some of the orange pulp, and 1 teaspoon aloe. Leave the mixture on your face for at least 5 minutes before rinsing it off.

4. Mustard Oil Facial

Mustard oil, also termed nationally as dadi ma's proven home remedy for natural glow. It is indeed one of the most recommended home-made facials to try at home. Pat your face with mild yellow mustard for a facial that will soothe and stimulate your skin. Try it on a small test area first to make sure it won't irritate your skin.

5. Egg, Lemon And Honey Facial

You can simply opt-out for an egg and use lemon and honey mask for pampering your skin at home. If you have dry skin that needs moisturising, separate the egg and beat the yolk. For oily skin, take the egg white only. For normal skin, use the entire egg. Apply the beaten egg, relax and wait 30 minutes, then rinse. You'll love your new fresh face.

6. Cucumber Mask Facial

Cucumber is the best for summers as it hydrates your skin. Also, we all know that moisture is an important part of keeping your skin healthy. It helps treat existing wrinkles and prevents new wrinkles from forming. It doesn't take an expensive cream to get all the moisture you need. That's because cucumbers are packed full of moisture right off the shelf. Here's how to use a cucumber face mask for powerful healing - just grate cucumber, mix with yoghurt and apply on the skin.

Oatmeal or breakfast mask can soak up the excess oil on your skin, helping it effectively to treat skin issues like acne. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help to treat dry skin and remove dead skin cells. It also contains compounds called saponins, which are natural cleansers. They remove the dirt and oil that clog the pores and exfoliate the skin completely.
