DIY Skin Care: Homemade Herbal Face Mask Recipes

There are some many skin care products to buy today, I’m sure that many of us wonder how much money we have to spend to have all the products we need for our beauty routine. That’s why today we are going to find out, how we can achieve the same results: moisturize, regenerate, rejuvenate and improve our skin’s condition – how to use herbs in homemade face mask recipes, you will love it!

You can find herbal, vegetable and fruit masks in luxurious spa salons, why do not go further and prepare some of them at home. Benefits are many, what I like is: they do not contain preservatives, artificial dyes and aromas but also are super cheap and easy to make!

Your skin will be happier when you’ll use all-natural face masks, made fresh, just when you need them! It’s still recommended to test them, to be sure that none of the ingredients causes any irritation/redness or other problem.

How to test it? Simply apply a small portion of the product to the inside of your wrist for several minutes, if it doesn’t cause any problem, for example, redness – you can apply the mask on your face.

When & How Often Should You Use Face Mask Treatment?

Evenings are the best for all kinds of skin care treatments when our skin perfectly absorbs all nourishing ingredients. It is important to carefully wash off all your makeup and apply skin peel product, to get rid of dead skin cells. Cleansed skin, will absorb all mask’s ingredients.

Spread the mask evenly over your face, neck and decolletage (avoid application on areas around eyes!)

Wash the mask off after around 15 minutes with water, dry the skin and if needed, apply skin care cream.

It’s not recommended to keep the left-overs of the mask for later use, because it loses its properties.

To prepare the homemade herbal mask you will need just a few minutes and ingredients that are simply saying, “cheap”, but used twice a week – will improve the look of your skin, soothe and brighten your complexion but also your face will feel cleansed the way you love.

Ok, enough of the small talk and let’s check some DIY skin care recipes for the skin of your face so you can finally enjoy some homemade skincare treatment at low cost.
