Face Masks for Dry Skin
Dry skin, is a major problem for many people, specially during the winters. Here are some face masks that you can easily make at home. Regular application of these masks will reduce the intensity of the dryness on your skin.
- A honey and avocado mask is very beneficial for dry skin. Honey is one of the best moisturizers for dry skin and so is avocado. Mix at least 2 to 3 teaspoons of honey with ½ an avocado that is completely smashed, and apply it on your face. Leave it on for at least 10 to 15 minutes, and then wash it off with cold water.
- Mash ½ an apple and mix it with honey and oatmeal. Apply this paste on your face, leave it on for a couple minutes, and rinse it off with cool water. You will never face problems with dry skin again.
- A paste of olive oil and ½ an avocado (smashed) can also work wonders for rough skin. Apply it on your face and neck and leave it on for 15 minutes or till it dries up completely. Wash it off with warm water.
- Honey and milk is another combination which induces moisture in the skin. Mix 3 spoons of each and make a thick sticky paste and apply it on your face. Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes and then rinse off with cool water. Remember one thing though, after washing your face, do not rub your face vigorously with the towel as that will make your skin rougher and drier. Just pat dry gently.
- Smash one banana, add at least 2 tablespoons of sweet almond oil to it, and mix it well. Apply this on your face and leave it to dry. Wash off with warm water.
- 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 teaspoons of water, mixed together, and applied on areas of the skin that are dry, also relieves the skin of dryness.
- A face pack of yogurt, honey, and banana, mixed together and then applied on the face and neck, is also good for dry skin.
- Take a whole smashed cucumber and mix it with at least 2 teaspoons of sugar and apply it on your face. Your skin is sure to feel smooth as silk to touch. You can also apply this mask on your hands and legs. You may even store it in the fridge and use it later.
- In a bowl, add thick milk cream, 1 teaspoon of rosewater, and a pinch of turmeric powder and make a thick paste. Apply it on your face and neck and leave it on for sometime, say for 15 minutes, and then rinse with cold water. It will not only leave your skin feeling moisturized, but will also lend a glow to your face.
