Homemade face masks for dry/sensitive skin?

I can't use store bought ones as the chemicals set off my eczema. Does anyone have any good recipes for dry/sensitive skin. None can have clay in them as I'm allergic to clay.Homemade face masks for dry/sensitive skin?

Citrus Skin Remedy


You need lemon juice and orange juice. Mix the two juices together and apply all over your face in an upward and outward motion. Wash off after 10 minutes.





Cool as a Cucumber Yogurt Facial


Puree 1/2 cucumber in blender mix in 1 Tbsp plain yogurt, apply to face. Leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse well.





Pineapple Olive Oil Mask


In a blender, combine 4 large pineapple chunks or 1/2 cup canned, drained pineapple and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Blend until almost smooth. Apply mixture to face with fingertips and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse face with warm water and pat dry.





Tomato Remedy


Blend 1 tomato, 1 tsp. lemon juice, and 1 Tbsp instant style oatmeal until just combined, in a paste. Apply to blemished skin, making sure the mixture is thick enough to stay in place. Leave in place 10 minutes. Remove with damp washcloth.





Facial Glowing Mask


Get 1 egg yolk and add 1 table spoon of honey and warm milk of each quantity. Mix all together and apply on face and neck. Leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.





Honey Mask


Massage a small amount of slightly heated honey onto skin and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to wash off all the honey with lukewarm water or the honey left will clog your pores, resulting in more acne. Wheat germ may be added for its abrasive action, protein and nutrients.





Banana Mask


Peel the skin off and mash the whole banana. Apply on all over your face and relax for 30 minutes. Then rinse using warm water.









I found this recipe in CosmoGirl (It's from the Spa on Broadway Salon in Myrtle Beach, SC):





Ingredients:


2 tbsp powdered milk


2 tbsp cooled chamomile tea





Mix the ingredients together to make a paste. Apply to your face or other areas where your skin is dry. Leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse with cool water.





It doesn't really make alot, so use any amount, as long as it is equal parts of powdered milk and tea.
honey mixed with a bit or oatmeal should be moisturizing, although it gets real sticky
