Here are 18 of the best DIY face mask recipes to tackle various skin issues, from fine lines and age spots to redness and dryness.

Dry, itchy, and flaky skin can be a nightmare, especially in cold weather. Try these masks to keep your skin hydrated and smooth.

Coconut Oil and Frankincense Mask
This mask, made with coconut oil, banana, and frankincense essential oil, will leave your skin feeling silky smooth. Coconut oil is a fantastic natural moisturizer and has antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties to help prevent pimples. Frankincense essential oil is great for treating dryness and may even reduce signs of aging and scars.

Perfect for dry skin, this mask uses avocado, which is rich in vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin E, essential for nourishing and repairing your skin. Oatmeal helps remove dead cells and soothes dryness and inflammation, leaving a protective film on your skin.

Oily Skin
Excess oil can make your face feel greasy and cause makeup to slip off. These masks can help control the shine.
