Less is more in this two-part mask of anti-inflammatory plus whitening honey and turmeric. 'I love using high quality local honey in my face wash and mask. The more natural the better," says Bianca Valle (open in new tab), a certified holistic nutritionist in New York City.

This delicious and completely edible mask has three shining stars, all of which work wonders on your face. Says Holly Monson, spa manager at Ocean Pearl Spa in California (opens in new tab), "Avocado is very moisturizing, cocoa is a great skin-soothing antioxidant, and honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties."

"Honey has natural antibacterial properties and is a great base for an acne-fighting mask," says Lily Kunin, creator of Clean Food Dirty City (opens in new tab) and author of the plant-based cookbook Good Clean Food (opens in new tab). Lily Kunin (opens in new tab), says." Nutritional yeast is also excellent for treating acne because it is rich in B vitamins, which calm the skin barrier."

"It is especially good for people who have breakouts around their periods.

"This tropical face mask is designed to give your skin a healthy, natural glow and is also gentle enough for all skin types," Sharōn Ronen, founder and owner of Skin Haven Spa Studio & WellSpa in Australia L.E., says.

"This breakfast-themed mask helps soothe and mattify oily skin thanks to a mix of soothing oatmeal and firming egg yolk," says Ronen.

"This mask is especially great for those with hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven skin tone," says Ronen.

"This honey and orange-based mask is the best quick fix to give dull skin a bright, clean glow," says Ronen.

When in doubt, an exfoliating mask is always the answer. The ingredients for your next mask are in the fridge and will make your face feel so smooth.
