There are far too many products on the market for oily and dry skin, but only a few for combination skin. But do you require a unique one for this category? Yes, and because everyone’s needs are different, you can make your own summer face masks for combination skin. Combination skin has oily and dry patches. If you have combination skin, your forehead, chin, and nose (T-zone) will be oily, while the skin around your cheeks and mouth will be dry.
Do you see why we say it requires special attention? Because you must address the needs of both the oily and dry skin regions. You must care for your dry skin, especially during the summer when you must reduce oiliness and grease.
Here are 11 DIY face masks for summer:
1. Honey, Yogurt, and Rose Water Face Mask
- In equal parts, combine honey, yogurt, and rose water (about 1 tbsp each).
- Apply evenly to the face.
- Apply it for 15 to 20 minutes.

Honey and yogurt are well-known for their skin-cooling properties. They will help to combat dryness and moisturize your skin. Rosewater will control oiliness while adding freshness to your skin, especially during the summer. It is also a good sun protector.

3. Fuller’s Earth (Multani Mitti) Face Mask
A major ingredient in almost all face masks made in Indian homes and even those sold in the market. Multani mitti, by itself, has the potential to aggravate dry skin conditions. It is best to always add rose water to the mixture to ensure that your skin receives the necessary moisture.

Tomato, which is high in antioxidants, acts as a natural bleaching agent. It also helps to tighten pores and acts as a toner. Furthermore, lemon promotes skin lightening and exfoliates the skin.

This mask was created by combining the best kitchen ingredients to combat greasiness, dehydration, acne, and inflammation. Chickpea flour, also known as besan, is another pantry staple that can also be used as a face mask for glowing skin. When combined with turmeric, it draws oil from the skin and fights bacteria and germs. Finally, using cucumber juice as a mixing agent will instantly cool irritated skin and combat heat boils. Cucumber, which is 96% water, is also an excellent skin hydrator.
8. Rice Flour and Yogurt
