Homemade Masks

So today we decided that we would share something that we do most weekends and that is making face masks!
The best ways to keep your skin fresh looking is by:

  • getting at least 8 hours sleep minimum
  • have at least 5 glasses of water a day and eat veggies
  • wear SPF on your skin to stop skin damage as much as possible
  • always cleanse your skin as it doesn't strip your skin
  • moisturise your skin to make sure it looks its best
For oily skin:
Ingredients: 

  • 1 banana preferably ripe
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 orange or lemon
Preparation:

  • mix the banana and the honey 
  • add a few drops of the honey or lemon and 
  • mix 
  • put onto the face for fifteen minutes
  • rinse


For dry skin:
Ingredients:

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1tsp runny honey
  • 1tsp of olive oil
  • Vitamin oil (optional)
Preparation:

  • mix the egg yolk, honey and oil
  • add vitamin E oil if you have it
  • smooth on 
  • leave for fifteen minutes
  • rinse in lukewarm water
  • pat dry
If your skin is dry add olive oil onto skin after washing your face to add moisture

Vinegar facial mask:
Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup of Cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup of water 
Preparation: 

  • Simply mix together 
  • apply to face for 15-20 minutes and you have a facial at home
Oatmeal facial mask:
Ingredients:

  • water
  • oatmeal
  • 2 tbsp of plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp of honey
  • 1 small egg white

Preparation:

  •  prepare 1/2 cup hot—not boiling—water and 1/3 cup oatmeal. 
  • After the water and oatmeal have settled for two or three minutes, mix in 2 tablespoons plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 small egg white. 
  • Apply a thin layer of the mask to your face
  •  let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
  •  Then rinse with warm water. (Be sure to place a metal or plastic strainer in your sink to avoid clogging the drain with the granules.)
If you don't have the ingredients or the time to make a face mask you could use:
  • Lush face masks -Cupcake a chocolate cleanse and clarify is one of their best .
  • Origins or Sephora also have luxury masks for exfoliating, hydrating and moisturising
