Homemade Face Masks for Dry Skin
There are many causes of dry skin. This may be
caused by the food you eat, the environment you are in and your daily
skin regiment. If you want to add moisture to your dry skin, you can opt
to go organic and natural and create your own homemade facial mask. This
is an inexpensive alternative to commercial and chemical products you
can buy on your local health and beauty store. With homemade face masks,
you know exactly what you are giving your dry skin to nurture it and
bring it back to life.
Just remember that you should not leave on your
homemade face mask longer than instructed. Else, you will end up with a
dryer skin. Use your facial masks as soon as you completed making it.
You can only keep your homemade face mask refrigerated for up to a week
at a maximum.
To get you started, here are some nice recipes to
start with to refresh and add moisture to your dry skin.
Avocado and yogurt homemade face mask
Vitamin E is good for your dry skin. Avocado is
rich in vitamin E and other natural oils that will act as great
moisturizers for your dry skin. Peel and seed a ripe avocado on a
processor with 4 tablespoons of unflavoured yogurt. Blend the
ingredients until you reach a smooth texture. Apply the mask to your
face except for the eye area. Leave on for 10 – 15 minutes then rinse.
Banana and yogurt homemade face mask
Yogurt is a common ingredient in most facial mask
because it can soften your skin. It can also hydrate dry skin. To do
this facial mask, get half a banana and place it in a bowl. Mash the
banana and add 4 tablespoons of plain yogurt. Stir well until you get a
smooth consistency. Apply to your face and leave on for 10 – 15 minutes.
Rinse with water. This is also a good mask to exfoliate your skin and
remove dead skin cells.
Egg and Honey homemade face mask
Honey can be a good moisturizer for your skin. Get
one egg, and separate the yolk. Mix one tablespoon of honey with the egg
yolk until smooth. Apply to your face for 10 – 15 minutes. Rinse with
water.
Another version of the honey mask for dry skin is
to mix 2 tablespoons of honey with 2 teaspoons of milk. Apply the
mixture to your face and leave on for 10 to 15 minutes then rinse with
water.
Milk homemade face mask
You can also do another mask with milk as the main
ingredient. Add 1 tablespoon of powdered milk, 1 tbsp of honey, 1
teaspoon of aloe vera gel and 2 drops of essential oil. Mix all the
ingredients well then apply on your face for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm
water.
