Hello guys!
How are you doing? How was your weekend? Mine was restful, maybe a little too restful. You know that feeling you have when you know there is something you should be doing but you can't quite figure out just what it is? Yes, I figured it out, I have a huge project due in a week.
Anyway, lets get to today's post, it was inspired by my Mask On! post. I recommend reading that post first as I talk about the importance of applying a mask properly.
I'm sharing my top 3 'Do it Yourself' face masks. Enjoy!
1. Moisturizing Greek Yoghurt & Honey Mask: Revive dull skin with this cooling mask. A simple yoghurt applied at least twice a week will leave your skin feeling soft and supple & you can save a few pretty pennies on moisturizers that sell dreams.
Mix greek yoghurt, honey and lemon until you get a creamy paste. Then just apply it to your face and neck with a clean foundation brush. Set your timer for 20 minutes and allow the mask to sit then rinse off with warm water. Apply a light moisturizer if you feel you need it, my go-to is coconut oil and slay honey!
2. Tumeric Coconut Love: Tumeric has long been known as a spice that adds flavor and color to Indian dishes and in many parts of India is used as a beauty treatment - when applied to the skin it can treat acne, eczema and aids in skin rejuvenation. Coconut oil is one of the best natural moisturizers, honey child it is the best thing you can do for your skin. It aids in removing acne and any scaring on the skin. I use it everywhere! Mix the turmeric powder with the coconut oil until you get a paste, apply it to a freshly cleansed face and let it sit for 20 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
Pro Tip: You will will turn yellow haha but fear not, it will wash off after a few rinses.
3. Bentonite Clay Mask: If you are a sucker for simple DIY's than this is the mask for you. Bentonite clay is a natural healing clay comprised of minerals and is formed from natural volcanic ash. It is a very powerful clay and produces a negative electric charge when water is added to it which aids in drawing out and removing toxins, evening skin tone, treating acne, preventing blackheads and unclogging pores.
You can get your hands on some from Clicks or Dischem. Bentonite clay is safe to use both internally & externally, yes you can actually consume it if you have good quality clay.
Simply mix the clay with water and apply to your face. Let the mask do work it's magic and rinse once you see the clay has dried. Moisturize and go!
Thank you for reading, if you try out any of these masks let a girl know!
