MASK FOR SUPER DRY SKIN AVOCADO
Required: avocado and olive oil
Time: 20 minutes
If you have very dry skin, especially during the winter months, this is your mask.
The lipid fraction contained in the avocado pulp is a panacea for restoring your hydrolipidic filmdamaged by external conditions or periods of severe stress!
Just take a ripe avocado and mash it with a fork until you get a homogenous cream to which you can add a teaspoon of olive oil. Spread it on your face with your fingers or a brush and leave it on for at least 20 minutes.
SCRUB EXFOLIATING COFFEE
Required: coffee grounds and honey
Time: 20 minutes
If you have dull skin or feel the need for a deep cleansing action, you can try thiscoffee scrub.
It's very simple: just set aside the coffee grounds left over from the morning and mix them with a spoonful of honey, which has an emollient action, until they become a homogeneous mixture. At this point, rub the mixture on your face, paying particular attention to the T zone (chin, nose and central forehead).
The result will be brighter skin ready to receive all the nutrients of your serum or moisturizing face cream.
MASK PURIFYING CUCUMBER
Required: cucumber, lemon, yogurt
Time: 20 minutes
Cucumber is known for its astringent and purifying properties perfect for impure skin. In this "recipe" we will use it together with a few drops of lemon with antimicrobial and astringent action and a few tablespoons of yogurt with soothing and emollient action, just so as not to be too aggressive on the skin.
Just blend a cucumber, with the skin on, and add a few tablespoons of yoghurt and a few drops of lemon, leave it to act for about twenty minutes and then rinse.
If you want an even more refreshing effect you can also add a few leaves of mint by blending it together with the cucumber. The result will be purified and decongested skin.
MASK ILLUMINATING HONEY AND LEMON
Required: honey, lemon
Time: 20 minutes
Very easy to make and suitable for illuminating the complexion: in a bowl, just mix two tablespoons of honey, very emollient and with a nourishing effect, with a few drops of lemon, astringent and purifying. Massage it on your face for a few minutes and then leave it on for about twenty minutes.
MASK SOOTHING WITH POTATO
Equipment: potato, chamomile
Time: 20 minutes
If you see skin red, dry and itchy perhaps this mask is the one for you.
Crush a potato, which thanks to its high content of starch is perfect for poorly balanced skin, and then mix it with a few drops of chamomile infusion. Get a homogeneous mixture and let it act on the skin for at least 20 minutes.
MASK PASSE-PARTOUT
Required: rice starch, yogurt, honey, essential oil
Time: 20 minutes
In a bowl, combine rice starch and a few spoonfuls of yogurt and a spoonful of honey. Add a few drops (one or two are enough, never exaggerate with essential oils on the skin) of a essential oil that you have at home according to your needs: chamomile and lavender to soothe - mint to refresh - fir, rosemary, tea tree to purify and purify.
In this way you will have a base mask excellent for all skin types which will then be characterized with the functionality of the essential oil according to your needs.
In a free moment, in the evening or at the weekend, take some time to nourish the skin of your face and choose the one that's right for you from the masks on offer!
