Facial masks are great way to soothe, purify and detoxify your skin. while there are variety to different mud masks on the market, If an appointment at spa seems impossible or quite expensive, grab some homemade ingredients and rejuvenate with DIY facials.
You
might even be surprised to find many of the ingredients you’ll need
for a homemade mud mask are sitting right in your pantry. A great mud
mask will not only soothe your skin, but it will nourish it as well,
while gently clearing the toxins from deep within your pores.
I’ve
done a pretty extensive search online for the best homemade facial
mask recipes, so you won’t have to!
Oily Skin
(Egg white mask)
Egg
whites will tighten your pores, as it contains proteins that
replenish the skin, and remove the excess oil making your skin acne
free.
Separate
the white and the yolk . Mix together, a lemon and egg white and
blend it for a minute (otherwise the mixture will be unpleasant to
apply). Apply the paste on a dry face and keep the paste for 15
minutes on your face. Once the mask gets dried, wash it off with Luke
warm water.
Acne prone skin
(Green clay facial)
A
green clay mask is the perfect recipe for you. The mask removes all
the unwanted breakouts, by extracting all the impurities.
In
a bowl, take 2tbsps of green clay powder and water. Mix a few drops
of rosemary oil or rose water and form a thick paste. Apply the mask
on your skin for 15 minutes.
Pimple and excessive oily skin
(Aspirin mask)
If
you aren’t allergic to aspirin, use this magic pill that will
soothe your skin in no time. The acid present in the pill is a great
anti-acne product. Crush the pill with the help of a spoon and a
little water to make a paste. And if you want a thick consistency add
a little bit of honey. Apply the paste on all over the face, for 10
minutes.
Dry
Skin
(Avocado
Mask)
The
oil in an avocado is a great moisturising agent. Mash half avocado
until it forms a thick consistency. Mix a tsp of honey and rose
water. You can also add some curd to smoothen the paste. Apply it on
a dry face for 15 minutes and wash off. And, if your skin is extra
dry, use olive oil instead of rose water.
Dull
Skin
(Banana
Mask)
Take
two bananas and mash the bananas until it forms a paste. Add two
Tbsps of honey for extra nourishment. Apply the mask for ten minutes,
on a dry face. Before you remove the mask, massage your face for five
minutes.
Glowing
Skin
(Papaya
Mask)
Papaya
is a great cleansing agent, which makes it the best natural
exfoliate. Peel the papaya and remove the seeds from it. Add half tsp
of honey. In a blender, mix the paste. Apply on a clean face. Remove
the paste after 20 minutes. Wash the mask completely; otherwise, your
face may look a bit orange.
Tanned
Skin
(Sea
Salt and Lemon Paste)
Mix
¼ cup of sea salt, along with lemon juice. Apply the mask over a dry
face. Close your eyes and enjoy the fruity flavour. Your tan will
disappear in no time.
Moisturised
Skin
(Oatmeal
Mask)
Oatmeal
is great exfoliating agent as it removes the dead cells completely.
Mix 2 Tbsps of uncooked oatmeal, with 1 cup of milk in a pan. Boil
the mixture on a low flame, until the oatmeal forms a thick paste.
The lactic acid in the milk helps to brighten the skin. Apply the
mixture for 20 minutes, and wash off. Your skin will feel soft and
supple.
Sensitive
Skin
(Yogurt
Facial)
This
is the best facial for a sensitive skin. Mix a cup of unflavoured
yogurt, for a dry and clean skin. Apply the mask for 20 minutes. The
acid in the yogurt will lighten your facial hair and follicles. If
you have a sunburnt skin, you can mix a tsp of Aloe Vera gel, for a
cooling effect.
Blemished
Skin
(Pumpkin
Facial)
Take
two Tbsps of pumpkin puree and half tsp of honey, along with some
fresh cream. I know it sounds a bit messy but once you obtain the
results, you will be patient to bare the mess-up. Leave the paste for
10 minutes and pat dry.
Hope you guys liked these. Be sure to take some time out for yourself and pamper your skin with a homemade mud mask very soon!
