When it comes to skincare, sometimes the best solutions are the simplest ones, and often, they’re already sitting in your kitchen. If you’re looking to treat your skin with gentle and effective remedies, then natural face masks are the way to go.

2. FOR BRIGHT AND GLOWING SKIN:

How to use: Make a paste and apply evenly on the face. Leave it on for 15 minutes or until semi-dry, then rinse off with lukewarm or cool water. Pat dry with a clean towel or tissue and see a reduction in excess sebum/oil control and tightening of pores. Do not use more than twice a week.

4. FOR ACNE MARKS AND UNEVEN SKIN TONE:

5. FOR NOURISHING, HYDRATING, AND ANTI-AGING SKIN:

a) Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon Oats
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Milk (Preferably plant-based milk)  

OR

b) Ingredients:

• ½ ripe mashed banana
• 1 tablespoon Honey

How to use: Mix and apply evenly. Let it stay for 20-30 minutes and then rinse off with lukewarm or cool water. Pat dry with a clean towel or tissue for soft, hydrated skin. Use twice or thrice a week for desired results.

The above-mentioned natural, home-made face masks are effective and give great results. But I would always suggest that you first do a patch test and then apply it to your face. Reactions can occur even if the products used are natural or chemical-based.

Please wash your hands and face with the right cleanser before applying anything. Use Fresh products while making face masks as they are natural and can’t be preserved for long. Remember, consistency is key. Try incorporating these masks into your weekly routine and listen to how your skin responds.

Let your skincare time be your self-care time. Mix, apply, relax — and let nature work its magic. 💆‍♀️🌿
