You do not need to break the bank in order to get healthy and beautiful skin! There are plenty of treatments that use ingredients that you can find in your kitchen.
In addition to being natural, they are very easy to make. These treatments can give you skin so clear and glowing that you will not need any makeup.
Below is three simple ways to make some of these treatments.
1. Cucumber and Honey Mask
You will need 1 cucumber and 2 teaspoons of honey. Cucumber and your skin contain the same level of hydrogen, cucumbers can therefore help cover blemishes on your skin. They are also very cooling, which can help soothe and soften your skin. Honey, which is antibacterial, can treat and prevent acne. It also has antioxidants to help slow aging. Plus, it is moisturizing and can help your skin be soft and glowing. It is one of the best things for skin, which is why you find honey in many skin treatments.
Directions: first puree the cucumber in a blender, then collect the juice. Mix in the honey. Apply the mask onto your face and neck. Rinse off once it has air dried. You can store the remaining in the fridge for up to a week.
2. Banana, Yogurt, and Honey Mask
You will need to purchase 1 banana, ¼ cup plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons of honey. Bananas moisturize your skin and help it look younger. They have nutrients like vitamin C and B6, which help skin retain its elasticity. They also have antioxidants and manganese that combat again the degenerative effects of aging. And yogurt has lactic acid, which exfoliates the top layer of the skin. This clears up blemishes and can reduce wrinkles.
Directions: mash the banana and combine it with the other ingredients. Apply the mix all over your face and leave it on for 15 minutes. Remove everything with cold water and gently pat your face dry.
3. Oatmeal, Yogurt, Honey, and Egg White Mask
You will need ⅓ cup oatmeal and ½ cup of hot water, 2 tablespoons of yogurt and honey, 1 egg white. Oatmeal is an age old trick for beautiful skin, dating back to the Ancient Egyptians. It helps treat acne and fight dryness and itchiness. It is also a great remedy if you ever run into poison ivy. Egg whites have proteins that fight acne, lines, wrinkles, and dry skin.
Directions: add the hot – not boiling – water to the oatmeal. Let it settle for a few minutes, then add the rest of the ingredients. Spread a thin layer on your face and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse it off with warm water and gently pat your face dry.
