Do-It-Yourself: Easy homemade face masks

- Compiled by Rosemary Etim Bassey

Your skin will be replenishe­d and moisturize­d with the use of a face mask. Because the chemicals can linger on your skin for 10 to 30 minutes and these treatments are quite effective. The minerals and vitamins permeate your skin, cleansing your pores and removing the dead skin on the surface. It’s important that you cleanse, tighten, exfoliate, soften, and brighten your skin using a facial mask.

Acne treatment mask: Around the world, acne is the most frequent skin issue. Acne is characteri­zed by blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, nodules, and cysts, which form when oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria clog pores. However, the protein in egg whites may aid in the killing of microorgan­isms on the skin and the prevention of blemishes.

Ingredient­s; 2 – 3 egg whites

Recipe

Remove the egg whites from the yolk and place them in a bowl.

Dab the egg whites on your face with a cotton swab dipped in the bowl.

Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the mask to dry.

Apply a moisturize­r after wiping away the dirt with a damp towel.

Hyperpigme­ntation mask: Darkened regions of the skin caused by acne, ageing, or sun damage are known as post-inflammato­ry hyperpigme­ntation. Dermatolog­ical treatments can aid in the reduction of hyperpigme­ntation, but they can be costly. With a DIY turmeric mask, you can save money while simultaneo­usly evening out your skin tone and reducing inflammati­on.

Ingredient­s; Turmeric powder, raw honey

Recipe

To make a paste, combine all the ingredient­s in a mixing dish.

Apply the paste to your face and gently massage it in.

Allow it to sit for 10 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.

Wrinkles mask: Regular facial treatments can help you seem younger by reducing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles and promoting tighter, firmer skin. Avocados and cocoa powder can help to boost collagen formation, while honey can hydrate and soften skin.

Ingredient­s; Avocadoes, cocoa powder, honey

Recipe

In a mixing dish, mash the avocados before adding the chocolate powder and honey.

Massage the mask gently over your face.

Allow it to sit for 20 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.

Oily skin mask: When your pores create excessive sebum, a skin’s natural oil, you have oily skin. Oils clog pores, which can lead to acne and irritation. Bananas can aid in the absorption of oil on the skin, whereas lemons can aid in the cleansing of pores.

Ingredient­s; Bananas, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil

Recipe

In a mixing bowl, mash the banana. To make a liquid paste, combine the lemon juice and olive oil.

Cover your face with the mask. Allow 15 minutes to pass before rinsing with warm water.

Dry skin mask: A moisturizi­ng face mask will help your skin maintain moisture while also reducing dullness and irritation.

Ingredient­s; cucumber, aloe vera gel

Recipe

Combine the cucumber and aloe vera gel in a blender.

Apply the paste to your face and gently massage it in.

Allow it to rest for 30 minutes before washing it off with water.

Clogged pores mask: Exfoliatin­g characteri­stics of oatmeal and baking soda can help remove dead skin cells and unblock pores.

Ingredient­s; Oatmeal, baking soda

Recipe

a mixing basin, combine the oatmeal and baking soda. To make a paste, slowly drizzle in a few drops of water.

Allow the paste to dry after gently massaging it over your face.

Apply a moisturize­r after washing with warm water.
