The Goodness of Face Masks , Make your Own . Stay Young and Glowing :)

It's mid-week and a very good pick me up to brighten your face and keep a glowing complexion , is a face mask ! If you are like me , getting older ,lol ..or just in denial about your age , better start using one .
Actually the earlier you develop a good skin care routine , the better it is for keeping wrinkles at bay and leaving everyone guessing your age ;)
I have just used the most awesome face mask , from H&M's the " Coconut Water " moisture mask , with coconut and shea butter . It cleanses and moisturises the skin . Leaving me feeling fresh faced and smooth ,with such soft skin , lush :)

So , if it's a little too expensive to buy a face mask , every week for yourself to use . There are simple ways to make your own mask at home . It is just as good , and leaves your skin refreshed .

Make a mask with tomatoes , this is really good because tomatoes contain lycopene , slowing down the process of aging skin .
Put a spoonful of granulated sugar on a plate .
Coat one side of a 1/4  inch slice of tomato in sugar
Rub it on all over your face and leave it , for 10 to 15 minutes ,
before rinsing it off .

Make a mask with strawberries . The strawberries contains alpha-hydroxy  acid which sloughs off dead skin cells , and salicylic  acid that gets rid of excessive oil , that cause break-outs .
Cut one large strawberry in half ,
Rub it all over the face and leave for 5 minutes before washing it off .

Make a peach and oatmeal face mask . As with strawberries peaches contain alpha hydroxy and the oatmeal softens and soothes dry skin .
Mash a ripe peach with a tablespoon of oatmeal and a tablespoon of honey .
Apply for ten minutes and rinse off .

Make a Banana face mask .
Mash a ripe banana with two tablespoons of yogurt .
Apply for 15 minutes and then rinse off .

Make a cucumber face mask . This is my favourite . Cucumber has cooling properties , that reduce redness , puffiness and inflammation . This is why cucumbers are recommended , to put over your eyes to tone down any signs of bags .
In a blender add half a cucumber and  a tablespoon and a half of yogurt . Blend it well . Put on your face for
20 minutes , then rinse off . It's excellent !

I hope you try out these simple fruit /veg  masks ,which you are bound to have at home in your kitchen .
Enjoy the natural goodness of these masks and get glowing skin !
Keep smiling , do share and have an awesome day .
