Here are 2 more easy, natural masks to add to your beauty routine! Both masks are excellent for reducing redness as well as moisturizing and refining skin.
If you have sensitive skin, try this single ingredient mask twice a week:
- Apply a tablespoon of full-fat sour cream to skin for 20 minutes.
Why it works? The lactic acid gently smooths skin and improves textures. This is a great alternative for people who react badly to store-bought masks.
Another similar option:
- Apply a tablespoon of full-fat cream cheese to skin for 20 minutes.
My mom actually told me to do this one jokingly when I was complaining about dry skin. I laughed at first, but gave it a try (remembering that my mom’s beauty suggestions for me always seem to work best). She was right, again! Definitely opt for the full fat version for best results and organic, if possible.

/ October 26, 2010this would be the cheapest skin treatment ever! i might have to try it! except they dont sell normal sour cream here like in north america so i may have to go with the cream cheese instead.
