Staying healthy requires following a daily skin care routine that includes exfoliation, moisturizing and sometimes the application of face masks. While spas offer different kinds of face mask treatments, you can easily create homemade DIY face masks from ingredients suitable for sensitive skin at home.
Avocado is highly hydrating, cocoa provides skin-calming antioxidants and honey is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory; combine all three in this simple face mask recipe for improved tone and texture!
Hydrating Avocado Mask
This avocado-packed mask offers incredible hydrating and brightening benefits thanks to its high concentration of vitamin E – an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory compound with potency for stimulating new cell growth in skin – that provides intensively hydrating effects.
Also included are other beneficial ingredients like yoghurt, turmeric and coffee seed extract which contain high concentrations of vitamin C to brighten skin complexions. Lactic acid in yogurt provides extra hydration while the natural sugars and starches found in oatmeal act as an excellent humectant to draw in extra water for moisturization purposes and soothe dry skin conditions.
Make this creamy avocado face mask by first mashing an avocado in a bowl and mixing in egg white from separated egg yolks until combined. Apply thin layer to skin and allow it to sit for 15 minutes. Rinse off thoroughly after use and follow with moisturizer.
Although designed for facial use, this DIY mask can also be applied to other parts of the body like neck and chest or hands. Best used on normal to oily or combination skin types, but tailored for dry skin by using less coconut milk or increasing avocado levels. Always conduct a patch test prior to applying any new face mask to ensure you don’t experience an allergic or sensitising reaction due to ingredients.
Revitalizing Green Tea Blend
If you suffer from dry skin, this mask is designed to provide nourishment. Honey offers essential hydration while avocado moisturizes and soothes. Mash one ripe avocado together with 1 tablespoon of honey until the consistency of a paste forms before applying to face for 15-20 minutes and rinsing off with warm water afterwards.
Besan (chikpea flour) has long been recognized for its exfoliation abilities and overall skin-toning benefits, from helping slough away dead skin cells to fighting acne, removing tanning spots and controlling oiliness. Simply combine besan with milk cream and lemon juice for an exfoliating mask with amazing results!
Holistic facialist and esthetician Leah Avigdori recommends this simple yet effective mask for banishing blemishes. Honey acts as a natural humectant, cinnamon works as a natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, and nutmeg soothes inflamed and sensitive skin, according to this skincare specialist.
This rejuvenating, detoxifying, and soothing facial mask will leave your complexion looking radiantly fresh! Papaya contains natural enzymes that exfoliate, while honey nourishes and hydrates. Combine two tablespoons of ground papaya with one tablespoon of honey into a paste before applying it on your face for 10-15 minutes.
Nourishing Aloe Vera Mask
Aloe vera has long been revered as an effective healer and longevity booster, even among Egyptian queens like Nefertiti and Cleopatra who incorporated its use into their beauty regimens. Now we understand why; aloe can boost skin elasticity, smooth texture, and give that all-important glow!
Now you can experience all of the wonders of ancient aloe with an easy DIY mask recipe using ingredients found in your pantry! All it requires is one organically grown aloe leaf or ALODERMA which uses fresh, certified-organic Aloe Vera grown responsibly while respecting nature with proprietary technology that reduces ecological and environmental impact. Avoid any leaves with yellow spots or an overpowering fragrance as these could contain latex which is an irritant known as aloin that could lead to painful reactions on skin.
This simple facial mask uses ingredients you might already have on hand in the kitchen: aloe vera gel, avocado flesh, honey and kaolin clay are essential components to create this soothing treatment that can gently lift dirt while simultaneously balancing oil production, soothing inflammation, redness and promoting microbiome balance – ideal for those dealing with oxidative stress or sensitivities.
Papaya is another superfood for your complexion, packed with natural alpha hydroxy acids and the brightening enzyme papain that help fade dark spots and even skin tone. Incorporating rose water – known for hydrating and soothing the skin – and turmeric for discoloration reduction may complete this face mask recipe.
Nourishing Honey Mask
This mask is designed to bring out your skin’s radiant glow with its rich ingredients that help hydrate and smooth its complexion. Yogurt and buttermilk contain lactic acid for exfoliation purposes while honey’s natural humectant qualities absorb any excess oil that accumulates on its surface, leaving skin feeling fresher than ever. An organic combination of papaya, chia seed, supercritical rose-hip seed oil, golden cold-pressed jojoba oil and golden cold pressed jojoba helps provide deep moisturization while soothing parched skin for maximum benefits – perfect for dry complexions or acne-prone complexions! This mask works wonders!
Besan (gram flour) in this recipe is well-known for its skin-nourishing properties – from exfoliating dead skin cells and fighting acne to eliminating tan spots and controlling oiliness, it makes an invaluable ingredient in creating homemade masks that leave glowing complexions behind. Besan truly shines as the star ingredient of this DIY mask for glowing skin!
Besan is combined with other skin-nourishing ingredients in this face mask for maximum effect, including turmeric to brighten and reduce acne marks, oat powder to absorb excess oil, chamomile powder to tone and lessen scarring, kaolin clay to prevent acne and of course honey! This mask is the ideal treatment for acne-prone complexions as its bentonite clay and matcha tea balance oiliness while milk and honey soothe and nourish their complexions. Simply mix all of the ingredients until they form a paste- then apply over your entire face/neck area before rinsing with cool water before pat dry!
