I don't know about you, but my skin dries out this time of year! With temperatures changing, the combination of cold winds outside and central heating inside can chafe and suck out the moisture in your skin. But that's okay, because I'm going to give you one a super hydrating mask recipe that will keep your face rejuvenated and nourished all winter long!
Tomato Hydrating Face Mask
3 tablespoons of yoghurt
¼ of a peeled tomato
¼ of a grated cucumber
1 tablespoon of Aloe Vera gel
3 tablespoons of oatmeal
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Apply mixture to face and leave on for approximately 10 minutes. Rinse well with lukewarm water.
Moisturize Skin With Honey and Olive Oil
Honey holds moisture extremely well and olive oil hydrates well, too. Mix equal parts of olive oil and honey (and add a dash of lemon juice if you’d like) to create a pasty lotion. Rub it onto the dry skin and let it sit for 10-20 minutes. Your skin will be hydrated for plenty of time to come afterwards. (Just for you PK!)
Honey is more than just a sweet treat and moisturizer, its also know for its healing properties, which were using in ancient Greece as an antibacterial to treat wounds! It also lowers your risk of heart disease, and makes the ill-affects of radtion therapy in chemo patients lessen. Other researchers have found that honey can alleviate asthma, calm nerves and induce sleep, enhance athletic performance, ease pain and relieve diarrhea. Good to know!
Should I use Organic Honey?
ReplyDeleteJust because things say organic does not make it a true organic product, so I wouldnt really look for that label. If you want a true product look for Raw Honey. That's the best way to go, not just externally but also internally!
