Don’t have time to go to the beautician?
Short of money because you’ve just spent a bomb on the latest Bugaboo, bottle, bib, blanket, Baby Bjorn, baa baa black sheep, black-out blind, bouncy ball, burp cloth, baby blah, blah, blah, blah…?
We’ve found 5 fab facemasks using ingredients from your kitchen to make you look foxy in a flash. And, you can freak your kids out at the same time when they see you smearing food on your face.

Moisturising & Smoothing Mask:
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt
Cleanse-a-na-na:
- Mashed Bananas
- A few drops of honey
Nourish in a flash-mash:
- Mashed Avocado
Cleanse & rejuvenation mix:
- 1 tbsp oatmeal
- 1 tbsp plain yogurt
- A few drops of honey
Condition-naise:
- Mayonnaise. Look in your fridge for a jar of mayo that contains egg yolks, vinegar and oil.
Mix them, smear them, and relax for about 10 mins before you rinse off with a warm wash cloth.
And if relaxing isn’t an option with the kids scampering about?
Chase them ’round the living room like you’re a monster, and then get them to lick it off… bwa ha ha ha!
Do you have any face mask recipes to share?
