How about have a DIY face masks and facials? They’re cheap, fast, easy to make and 100% natural. They’re made up of simple foods you can find in almost any kitchen. Its ingredients have proven to be more effective in healing the skin than the harsh chemicals found in OTC facial products.
Yogurt honey mask has been considered one of the most effective homemade masks. Why?
Yogurt contains high amounts of Lactic Acid, an AHA proven to be successful in refining pores, exfoliating the skin and stimulating collagen production. Unlike most other exfoliants that are harsh (e.g. salylic acid), it gently cleans the skin and is suitable for even the most sensitive skin types. Plus, its thick and creamy texture lends a paste-like consistency that is ideal for any face mask.
Honey is an all natural humectant—it retains water to help keep the skin soft and moisturized. It also functions as an antimicrobial agent and can even be used to treat minor burns and cuts. An anti-irritant, it’s also gentle enough for sensitive skin. On top of it all, it makes a great binder for all the other ingredients in the mask.
It doesn’t matter what type of skin you have—there’s a DIY recipe out there for you that incorporates both of these miracle foods.
