1. DIY FACE MASKS<br />
Did you know you can address<br />
all types of skin concerns using<br />
ingredients you can find in your local<br />
supermarket? Why not treat your skin<br />
with an all-natural, facial treatment!<br />
According to healthline.com, all you<br />
need are these simple items:<br />
• Acne: 2 to 3 egg whites, dabbed<br />
on face with a cotton swab, letting it<br />
sit for 10-15 minutes.<br />
• Hyperpigmentation: ½ tsp turmeric<br />
powder, 1-2 tbsp raw honey, mixed<br />
and allowing the paste to sit on your<br />
face for 10 minutes before washing<br />
off with warm water.<br />
• Clogged pores: 2 tsp oatmeal<br />
and 1 tsp baking soda combined<br />
with a couple drops of water,<br />
massaged into the face. Let this dry<br />
before washing off with warm water.<br />
• Oily Skin: Mash 1 banana and add<br />
10 drops of lemon juice and 1 tsp<br />
of olive oil to create a paste. Apply<br />
on the face and let it sit for 15 mins<br />
before washing off with warm water.<br />
• Dry Skin: Blend half a cucumber<br />
with 2 tbsp aloe vera gel. Massage<br />
the mask over the face and let it sit<br />
for 30 mins, before washing it off with<br />
water.<br />
• Wrinkles: Mash 2 avocados, add<br />
2 tbsp cocoa powder and 1 tbsp<br />
raw honey. Massage the mask into<br />
your face and let it sit for 20 minutes<br />
before washing off with warm water.<br />
