Good face masks do not have to be expensive and enriched with a thousand ingredients because you can make effective masks yourself and with the usual foods that you have in the household.
A look in the fridge is enough and with healthy ingredients, such as avocado, honey, and cottage cheese, we can quickly enrich ourselves. So even beyond the typical cucumber mask, we introduce you to extraordinary, but easy-to-mimic masks for different skin needs and explain how to mix them yourself.
Before You Start: The Little Face Mask-Knigge
One to a maximum of twice a week you should treat yourself to a mask. In winter, the skin is particularly stressed by dry air and cold temperatures; but even in summer, it is attacked by heat and air conditioning. Therefore, in the cold months, one should instead look for a rich mask, e.g., with avocado put in the summer light with tea tree oil and lemon juice, which nicely moisturizes the skin enough.
However, what should be considered before the application? The skin should be well cleaned and free from fats. So it can absorb the ingredients best and has a long-lasting effect in retrospect. To make this effect even more visible, make a small exfoliation preparation that removes the dead skin cells and makes the skin even more radiant. Also, the pores are open more.
So you can mix an organic body scrub yourself by combining the coffee grounds from breakfast with a little coconut oil and massaging with circular movements on the face.
Most masks should work for the best possible effect of around 20 minutes. Over time, they can become hard, so it is advisable to remove the remains of the face with a warm glove and wash thoroughly. After the mask, a light day or night cream is sufficient as care. The skin will be nourished by the mask so well that serums or concentrates are superfluous.
