美麗是女人的終身事業?？勺非筮@項事業實在是有點“燒錢”。商場里，那些包裝華美的瓶瓶罐罐動輒幾百上千元，一個月工資也買不了幾瓶。想要美又想省錢，不如自己動手吧。趁著假期，自制幾個舒緩面膜，放松放松緊繃的神經、讓你的皮膚恢復水嫩光滑吧！

Banana 香蕉面膜

Who needs Botox when you have bananas? That's right: You can use a banana as an all-natural face mask that moisturizes your skin and leaves it looking and feeling softer. Mash up a medium-sized ripe banana into a smooth paste, then gently apply it to your face and neck. Let it set for 10-20 minutes, then rinse it off with cold water. Another popular mask recipe calls for 1/4 cup plain yogurt, two tablespoons honey, and one medium banana.

Vinegar 用蘋果醋洗臉

Using vinegar as a skin toner dates back to the time of Helen of Troy. And it's just as effective today. After you wash your face, mix one tablespoon apple cider vinegar with two cups water as a finishing rinse to cleanse and tighten your skin. You can also make your own facial treatment by mixing 1/4 cup cider vinegar with 1/4 cup water. Gently apply the solution to your face and let it dry.

Milk 奶粉面膜

Here's another way to give yourself a fancy spa facial at home. Make a mask by mixing 1/4 cup powdered milk with enough water to form a thick paste. Thoroughly coat your face with the mixture, let dry completely, then rinse with warm water. Your face will feel fresh and rejuvenated.

Oatmeal 燕麥粥面膜

If you're looking for a quick pick-me-up that will leave you feeling and looking better, give yourself an oatmeal facial. Combine 1/2 cup hot — not boiling — water and 1/3 cup oatmeal. After the water and oatmeal have settled for two or three minutes, mix in two tablespoons plain yogurt, two table-spoons honey, and one small egg white. Apply a thin layer of the mixture to your face, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse with warm water. (Be sure to place a metal or plastic strainer in your sink to avoid clogging the drain with the granules.)

Mayonnaise 蛋黃醬面膜

Why waste money on expensive creams when you can treat yourself to a soothing facial with whole-egg mayonnaise from your own refrigerator? Gently spread the mayonnaise over your face and leave it on for about 20 minutes. Then wipe it off and rinse with cool water. Your face will feel clean and smooth.

Yogurt 酸奶面膜

You don't have to go to a spa to give your face a quick assist:

? To cleanse your skin and tighten the pores, slather some plain yogurt on your face and let it sit for about 20 minutes.

? For a revitalizing facial mask, mix one teaspoon plain yogurt with the juice from 1/4 slice of orange, some of the orange pulp, and one teaspoon aloe. Leave the mixture on your face for at least five minutes before rinsing it off.

Mustard 黃芥末面膜

Pat your face with mild yellow mustard for a bracing facial that will soothe and stimulate your skin. Try it on a small test area first to make sure it will not be irritating.

Lemon 檸檬汁面膜

Create a facial that both exfoliates and moisturizes by mixing the juice from one lemon with 1/4 cup olive oil or sweet almond oil.

Egg 雞蛋面膜

Who has time or money to spend at the local day spa, paying someone to tell you how awful your skin looks? For a little pampering, head to the refrigerator and grab an egg. If you have dry skin that needs moisturizing, separate the egg and beat the yolk. Oily skin takes the egg white, to which a bit of lemon or honey can be added. 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.
