TURMERIC FACE MASK
Mixing honey and turmeric together gives you anti-inflammatory benefits and skin-brightening properties. It’s also very easy to make:
1. Combine one teaspoon of turmeric and one tablespoon of honey until it’s well-blended together
2. Apply your mask to a clear, dry face and leave it on for about 15 to 20 minutes
3. Rinse the mask off with warm water
4. Finish your routine with a moisturizer
Honey is a near universal DIY face mask ingredient. Its natural antibacterial properties help it do wonders for acne-prone skin. Another effective acne-treatment ingredient is nutritional yeast, which is full of vitamin B that soothes your skin and prevents breakouts.
Here’s how to make a honey-yeast DIY face mask:
1. Use two tea bags to brew a cup of chamomile tea and let it cool
2. Meanwhile, mix together one tablespoon of honey and one teaspoon of nutritional yeast
3. Start slowly adding the chamomile tea to create a thick paste that you’d be able to use as a face mask, but avoid making it too watery
4. Apply the mixture on your face as a mask and keep on for about 20 minutes
5. Rinse the mask off and moisturize your face
When you feel like your skin has been dry for a while and you need a face mask recipe with some hydrating properties, look no further than adding avocado into the mix.
Avocados are full of omega-3 fatty acids that assist the moisturizing process. Some additional olive oil will help you seal the skin as well. Finish off with honey and yogurt for extra skin softness.
For the best hydrating mask:
1. Mash one avocado
2. Add two tablespoon of plain yogurt
3. Add one tablespoon of olive oil
4. Add one tablespoon of honey
5. Mix everything well together
6. Apply for 15 to 20 minutes
7. Rinse well, especially around the hairline
