One of the things that make homemade facial treatments so popular is that they are both effective and budget-friendly. You can make your own facial mask quickly and easily, using ingredients you can already find in your kitchen. Here are a few face mask recipes for dry skin from BioBliss.com which are sure to keep your skin smooth and hydrated, thus reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

• Flax Seed Mask

Materials and Ingredients

1 glass of water
1 teaspoon flax seed
Pot and Stove
Gauze

Pour water over the flax seeds and cook in a pot over low heat until mixture is a thick pulp. Cool until it reaches room temperature. Set damp gauze on face. Apply the cooled pulp evenly on the gauze. After about 20 minutes, remove the gauze and the pulp. Wash the skin with cleanser or toner to finish.

This mask softens the epidermis, soothes irritations and makes the skin more elastic. Flax seeds are loaded with Omega-3, which is a natural acid that helps lubricate your skin.
