DIY Face Masks

Hey guys!

I've recently been doing a lot of DIY face masks so I thought I would share these 4 different masks that you could try out:)

#1 Almond and Honey Face Mask

Almond powder is great to use in a face mask as it can treat acne, repairs the skin from sun damage, reduces lines and wrinkles and soothes the skin. Therefore by using it in a face mask you can be treating your skin in more ways than one. Also, Almond also has vitamin E so therefore it is good for healing scars and evening your skin tone. The honey in the mask is good as well as it is an anti-inflammatory, it nourishes the skin, soothes the skin and protects the skin so honey keeps your skin healthy.

Ingredients:

1tsp Almond Powder 

1tsp Honey

Instructions:

-Cleanse face thoroughly before and make sure your hair is out of your face 

-Put 1tsp of almond powder and 1tsp of honey in a small bowl and mix well until it forms a thick paste, then add a drop of water to make into a creamy texture.

-Apply the face mask evenly all over your face

-Leave for 5 minutes

-After 5 minutes exfoliate using the mask to buff the skin

-After exfoliating rinse the face mask off 
-Pat face dry

-Your face should be left feeling fresh and smooth :) 

#2 Honey Face Mask

Honey is great as it nourishes the skin helping to heal damaged areas like acne scars, it soothes the skin so it leaves your skin feeling smooth and is an anti-inflammatory so reduces redness in the skin. Honey also protects the skin so using a face mask like this will build up protection, reduces redness and nourishes damaged skin. 

Ingredients:

2 tbsp Honey

Instructions:

-Cleanse face thoroughly  and clip hair out of your face

-Put 2tbsp of honey into a small bowl

-Apply evenly over the face

-Leave for 10-15 minutes

-After 10-15 minuted using a face mitt or face cloth wipe the honey off your face 

-Once all the honey has been wiped off rinse your face with luke warm water making sure any honey remaining is washed off
-Pat face dry

-Your face should be left feeling smooth :)

#3 Baking Soda Face Mask

The benefit of baking soda is that it is an effect way of getting rid of acne and blemishes due to it being a natural antibiotic that can cure fungal infections. It can also help get rid of acne scars and heal the damaged tissue. Other than helping fungal infections that cause acne and other blemishes it can also help with blackheads as it can help draw out the infections and makes it easier to remove the blackheads from the skin. Baking soda is a great mask as it deals with the different infections in the skin but it also can ease inflammation in the skin, opens the pores and prevents pores from clogging by absorbing the oil.

Ingredients:

1tbsp Cool Water

2 tbsp Baking Soda 

Instructions:

-Cleanse face thoroughly and make sure hair is clipped out of your face

-Mix 1tbsp and 2 tbsp of baking soda in a small bowl until its combined

-Apply evenly over your face being careful around your eyes

-Leave for 5 to 10 minutes 

-After 5 to 10 minutes using a face mitt or face cloth wipe off the baking soda 

-Once all the baking soda has been wiped off rinse your face with luke warm water until no more baking soda is present

-Pat your face dry and apply an oil-free moisturiser 

-Your face will feel clean and soft :)

#4 Turmeric Face Mask

A turmeric face mask is great for your skin as turmeric contains a photochemical called curcumin which can benefit the skin and body. This mask works for acne and eczema, it reduces redness and inflammation and heals the skins tissue that has been damaged either by acne or other blemishes. It also reduces wrinkles and softens lines on the face. This face mask should brighten and rejuvenate your skin.

Ingredients:

1tsp of Turmeric 

1tsp Honey

1tsp Milk

Instructions: 

-Cleanse face thoroughly and make sure your hair is out of your face

-Mix 1tsp of turmeric, 1tsp of honey and 1sp of milk in a small bowl until its all combined  into a thick paste 

- I suggest you wear gloves to apply this face mask as it stains and to be careful when applying it as it can stain your clothing

-Apply evenly over your face being careful around your eyes

-Leave for 5-10 minutes

-After 5 or 10 minutes rinse your face using luke warm water until there is no remains of the face mask

-Pat your face dry 

-It should leave your face feeling smooth :) 

I hope these face masks work for you too :)

See you soon lovelies!
