What’s nicer than a day at the spa to pamper yourself for some glowing, radiant skin? A pamper-day in the comfort of your own kitchen with homemade treatments made from goodies in your fridge and cupboards! We’re totally digging homemade treatments because they are 100% natural, 100% customizable and also won’t cause a dent in your wallet. Read on for the five best homemade face-packs that will give you glowing skin naturally:
1. The Glower: Mix a little turmeric powder, some lemon juice and a little bit of chickpea flour in milk or rosewater and apply this to your face. Let the mask sit until it dries. Then with wet hands, massage the pack outwards and upwards. Wash off.
2. Hydration Boost: Mix 4 teaspoons of yogurt and 1 teaspoon of honey in a bowl. Refrigerate the mixture for about 15-20 minutes. Apply on face and let sit for 15 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water and follow with moisturizer. This mixture is especially great for hydrating normal-combination skin. And yogurt is a good anti-acne treatment also.
3. The All-Rounder: Mix a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil with half a teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of baking soda to form a thin paste. You can add more baking soda, if you want a thicker mask. Apply the mixture to your face and wash off when dry for a natural moisturizer that leaves your skin glowing. Plus baking soda also helps exfoliate and reduce redness. The best part about this mask? It is suitable for all skin types.
4. Easy-Peezy, Lemon Squeezy: Mix a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice with some milk powder and honey and apply the paste to your face every couple of days to keep it glowing, and to remove sunburn marks and dark patches. Leave it on for 20 minutes then massage your face with warm water as you wash it off.
5. Go Bananas: Mash a full banana to form a smooth paste. Add some drops of almond oil to the paste and mix well. Apply this mixture to your face and give it 20 minutes to work its magic! Wash off to reveal moisturized skin. Also, bananas are rich in antioxidants that help slow down the signs of ageing. The mask also helps lighten dark spots and adds a healthy, hydrated glow to your face.
