DIY facial masks vs Buying facial masks

Ever feel like your face is losing that nice glow? Or your pores are just getting larger and larger? Well you can't exactly change your skin type with a facial mask (i.e. oily skin and super dry skin), but its a great way to even out your skin tone,brighten, tighten pores,and pamper your skin. Give it the loving it deserves!

First off : DIY masks.
A DIY mask is a mask you make at home by yourself, usually using natural ingredients. They are really easy to make and they do just fine, here I'll show you 2 of my favorites.

Honey & yogurt mask:

• 2 table spoons of yogurt
• 1 table spoon of  honey
• 1/2 a lemon

Mix them together and apply on face , in circular motion.Leave on till your face feels dry, then wash away!

Honey is a beauty essential, a must have. It's benefits are endless, honey has been used for centuries as a  natural remedy to cure the ill, it's also great for skin, honey is well know to eliminate wrinkles and fine lines, nourishes the skin and restores damaged skin, and honey is just like lemon a natural skin brightener. On the other hand, yogurt is great for tightening pores and removing dead skin sells. If your looking for something simple and effective. This facial mask is your best friend. Seriously.

Avocado facial mask:

• Half ripe avocado
• 1 tbsp of honey 
• 1 tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar 

Blend together or mash in a bowl. Apply to your face and leave on for 15 min, rinse off with cool water and damp cloth.

Avocado's are delicious and make great guacamole, but its also used in beauty products  for face,hair and skin. It gives your skin just the glow it needs.



Store bought Facial masks:
I really like DIY facial masks, it gives me an excuse to mix things up and try out different things, but what about those days where we just gotta go and we don't have a lot of time?
Well there's just the things for it.

1. Collagen masks :

Ever heard of these? Collagen is a natural protein found in the body that works in partnership with elastin, to give your skin elasticity. A collagen mask replenishes the collagen lost in your skin, improving the elasticity to reduce lines and wrinkles, sealed in little packets, and great for when your on the go or need to hydrate your skin.

  2. Peeling off mask.
 They are great for your skin! They always keep it feeling refreshed and smooth, and keeps it clear.Beware!Use about once a week. Too much usage can strip your face off the natural oils it needs to function. Looking for a great peeling mask? Go for the ones with papaya extract. Papaya is great for refreshing your skin, giving it that  natural glow. Or try this Cucumber one, its super cheap and works like a charm!

  3. Ordinary Mask :
Your normal facial masks can work just as good too! I try to look for natural ingredients, so I actually know what my skin is up for, and sometimes skin can be sensitive to certain ingredients so I recommend a mud mask they are all natural and, have been used since ancient times ( most common among greeks and Romans) How do you think they kept their skin so healthy looking and young?
Here I have just the thing!Try this dead sea mud mask, it might be a little pricey but its totally worth it!Not convinced? Check out the reviews on Amazon it's phenomenal.
