DIY: Facial Masks

If you follow me on Twitter, you may have probably noticed that I enjoy making face masks. I absolutely love putting things on my skin that benefit the inner beauty. So in this post, I will be sharing a few of the facial masks that I make at home that leave the skin feeling amazing!

Oat, Honey and Green Tea Mask

This masks is one of my favourite. It makes the skin appear fresh and radiant. The oats act as an exfoliator which is useful in getting rid of any dead skin that may have built up on the face. Honey has anti-bacterial qualities so will help again fighting spots and reducing them, it also is a good moisturiser keeping the skin feeling soft. Green tea makes the skin look radiant and fresh, also the actual green tea mixture acts well as an exfoliant too.

Ingredients:

  • 3 tbs Oats (breakfast ones, grounded roughly using a pestle and mortar)
  • 1 tbs honey
  • Green Tea teabag, which has been infused in 1 tbs hot water. 
Method:
  1. Get a bowl and add the roughly ground oats
  2. Put the green tea liquid into the oats. Also tear up the tea bag and insert the content of the tea bag into the bowl
  3. Add the honey and stir the mixture
  4. Apply to the face with fingers or a spoon. Leave on for 15 minutes. 
  5. After 15 minutes, work the mixture into the face with the fingers using circular motions. 
  6. Wash off using luke-warm water
Sugar and Honey Scrub
  
This is an amazing scrub if you want to have absolutely smooth, oh-so-soft skin, and it is so easy aswell!

Combine 2 tsp granulated sugar with 1 tsp honey. You can also add natural yoghurt or lemon juice if you prefer. 

Just remember not to make it too runny. After that, scrub it on your face, avoiding the delicate eye area. If you have sensitive skin don't scrub as hard, but with a light hand. After a good 5 minutes wash the face with luke-warm water and your skin will feel amazinnngggg!! 


Enjoyy! Xxx
