Do homemade face masks actually work?

Follow my blog with Bloglovin So to start off I am quite interested in writing a blog about this. I think this is because loads of people are going nuts at the moment over these homemade face mask crazes. Personally, I have done 2 homemade face masks and I got very opposite and completely different results from them and I mean completely different. By this I mean one made my face breakout so bad and made my skin feel like it was being stretched right out, whereas the other face mask made my skin feel super smooth and reduced the inflammation of my blemishes.

The face mask that basically ruined my skin was the Egg white face mask. So I've seen this over social media and on other blogs and it is quite popular so I thought I'd also give it a go. Follow the crowd you know as you do. But I wish I never put myself out there and actually did this face mask because it made my skin breakout so badly and just made my skin feel overly dry as if it was being stretched out constantly.

Now lets get to the good homemade face mask that is sort of a life saver. The cinnamon and honey face mask. When I read about this I thought what the actual *beep*. Why would I put cinnamon and honey on my face when I can have it on waffles instead. But, I did give it a go and my skin felt so clean and soft afterwards. I really recommend this home made face mask as it is so good on the skin. I feel that when the honey and cinnamon are mixed together, it's consistency is a lot like an exfoliator but because its not being scrubbed on your face, it exfoliates your skin without damaging it. Just to pre-warn you, it is very messy and very sticky. When I do this homemade face mask I have to wear one of them ugly t-shirts that you leave at the bottom of your wardrobe for when you need to paint, dye your hair or do something messy etc. It's also just as messy to wash off but after using this face mask quite a lot, I feel that using a wet flannel gets it off the best.

Can I just add another thing that I think is amazing about this homemade face mask, IT SMELLS AMAZING. I love cinnamon so the smell was so nice even though it made me crave cinnamon pretzels :(

So there is my personal view on two homemade face masks for you...let me know your opinions on them xxxxxxxxxx
