How Do You Make a 3-Ingredient Face Mask?
A simple 3-ingredient face mask can be easily made at home using readily available ingredients. The specific ingredients will depend on your skin type and desired results. Several popular combinations are detailed below.
Here are some examples of effective and popular 3-ingredient face masks, drawn from various online resources:

General Instructions:
- Gather your ingredients: Measure out the required amounts of each ingredient.
- Combine ingredients: Mix them thoroughly in a small bowl until a smooth paste is formed.
- Apply to face: Gently apply the mask to your cleansed face, avoiding the eye area.
- Wait: Allow the mask to sit for 10-15 minutes.

Note: Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying any new face mask to your entire face to check for allergic reactions.
