If you're looking for a little self care time, but don’t have any masks at home, take a look at these simple recipes to make your own!
Antioxidant/Anti-Aging Mask
This light, oily mask hydrates, tightens pores, and reduces inflammation, making your skin noticeably brighter. The almond meal exfoliates, smoothing out wrinkles to help turn back the clock.
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
5 teaspoons almond meal
1 teaspoon warmed honey
2 drops rose oil
Clear Skin Mask
If you’re bothered by persistent breakouts or dull, oily skin, this soothing mask will help brighten, clear, and reduce surface bacteria.
1 cup plain yogurt
½ cup strawberries, mashed
½ cup almond meal
Splash of raw apple cider vinegar
Cranberry Mask
If you’ve been outside, battling the elements, your skin may look as worn out as you are. This wrinkle-fighting mask boosts collagen production, diminishes the appearance of wrinkles, and prevents free radical damage.
1/2 cup pureed cranberries
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon honey
Pineapple Enzyme Mask
If you have dull, sensitive skin, this mask- rich in fruit enzymes- will exfoliate, resurface, and stimulate your lymphatic system, restoring your glow.
¼ cup pineapple, mashed
2 tablespoons almond meal
1 teaspoon coconut milk
Brightening Mask
Does your skin need instant glow? This silky mask will give you bright, pliable, hydrated skin in no time.
1 tablespoon green tea, made fresh from loose leaves or tea bag
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons plain yogurt
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Combine the ingredients in a small bowl and mix to form a paste. For one minute, rub the paste onto your skin using the tips of your fingers in upward strokes, then leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with tepid water. Mix up a fresh mask everytime you plan to use one!
