How to make a DIY facial mask to hydrate, moisturize and exfoliate. All you want is here.

We all love going to a facial spa, but to save a little time and money, we can try making some homemade facial masks at home. Here are some DIY facial mask methods.

Simple Brown Sugar Scrub Mask

1 tablespoon honey

2 drops lemon oil (pure therapeutic grade, like essential oil)

2 tablespoons brown sugar

Mix all the ingredients and wet your face with warm water. Gently rub the mask on your face to give it a gentle exfoliation. Let it sit for about 10 minutes and then rinse with warm water.

Salt and Vinegar Mask

Ingredients: 2g salt, 12g angelica root, 6g chrysanthemum powder, 6mg white vinegar

practice

1. Go to a Chinese medicine store to buy Angelica dahurica and chrysanthemum, and grind them into fine powder.

2. Add white vinegar (edible vinegar) and water to salt, angelica dahurica and chrysanthemum powder and mix into a paste.

3. Apply on face at night and wash off after 30 minutes.

Efficacy: This formula has the effect of removing various pigments from the face. The salt in the formula detoxifies and cleanses the skin, angelica dahurica promotes blood circulation and removes spots, chrysanthemum is antibacterial and beautifies the skin, and white vinegar removes spots and whitens the skin. The combination of medicine and food can help remove facial pigmentation.

Apple and Tomato Mask

Ingredients: 1 apple, 1 tomato, 5 grams of starch

practice

1. Peel the apples, mash them into puree, and apply them on your face. This is called an apple mask. Apply once a day and wash off with clean water after 20 minutes.

2. Mash fresh tomatoes, add a little starch to increase the viscosity, and apply it on the face. This is called tomato mask. Apply once a day and wash off with clean water after 20 minutes.

Efficacy: These two masks are rich in vitamin C, which can inhibit lactic acid enzymes and prevent the synthesis of melanin, so they can remove facial chloasma and freckles and whiten the skin. The formation of pigmentation spots such as chloasma is related to the synthesis of melanin by melanocytes in the underlying skin. The formation of melanin requires the participation of rutin, which oxidizes rutin into dopa and dopaquinone. Dopaquinone is further oxidized to reduce the activity of rutinase, thereby preventing the production of melanin. The key to these two natural green beauty methods is to persist in long-term use. You can't just try them for a few days and then stop for a few days, or just try them halfway.
