Want glowing skin? Here are 5 natural, easy-to-make homemade packs
Natural DIY face packs are not a recent trend. Homemade face masks with common kitchen ingredients have been in existence for a long time. These packs contain abundant nutrients and can penetrate the skin, cleanse pores, eliminate dead skin cells, and provide exfoliation, resulting in a brighter and rejuvenated complexion. Here are five natural, easy-to-make face packs you should try.
Banana, orange juice, honey face mask
Ingredients: 1/2 banana, one tablespoon of orange juice, and one tablespoon of honey. Mash the banana in a bowl. Add to it orange juice and honey. Apply this to your face, and keep the mixture on for 15 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water and then moisturize. Gentle on all skin types, this face mask will give your skin a natural-looking glow.
Ground almonds, olive oil face mask
Ingredients: A handful of ground almonds (finely processed flour of blanched almonds) and two tablespoons of olive oil. Apply this mixture to your face. Leave it on for 10 minutes. Gently massage the paste on your skin before rinsing off. While the fatty acids in almonds make the skin soft and supple, vitamin E in olive oil protects it from dullness and dehydration.
Turmeric, yogurt face mask
Ingredients: one teaspoon of turmeric powder and two tablespoons of plain yogurt. Apply this mixture to your skin and keep it on for 10-15 minutes. Then, rinse off using normal water. This amazing natural face pack can help enhance your skin glow and reduce the risk of acne and other unwanted facial scars and marks.
Lemon juice, sugar, olive oil face mask
Ingredients: Juice from one fresh lemon, two tablespoons of sugar, and one tablespoon of olive oil. Mix these ingredients well, and apply the pack to your face. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then wash it off. While sugar and lemon work together to exfoliate dead skin cells, olive oil hydrates and refreshes the skin.
Papaya, banana, cucumber face mask
Ingredients: 1/4 papaya, 1/4 cucumber, and 1/2 banana. Blend the ingredients well to form a smooth paste. Apply this to your face and neck and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water. In this mix, the banana helps in absorbing oil from the skin, the cucumber works as a cooling agent, and the papaya provides the goodness of essential vitamins.
