Hello everyone,
Dry skin is a big problem specially in winter season. It can cause skin looking dull and dark. In winter season there is less moisture in the air and and with the excessive use of hot water our skin is unable to retain moisture. If the skin is not hydrated properly it can cause severe problems like eczema etc. Besides using intensive moisturizer and hydrating creams and drinking plenty of water, today I am sharing some home made masks (for dry skin), to get baby soft skin. If you are a person who loves natural products like me, then you don't need to go anywhere, you will get everything in your kitchen. So without further ado let's start today's post.
Banana And Honey Mask:
Banana is a favourite fruit of all ages. It is rich in potassium and vitamin E. Honey has anti bacterial properties and it softens the skin. For the mask peel one banana in a bowl and mash it. Add two spoons of honey in it. Blend them with a whisk and make a thick creamy paste. Apply on your clean face, neck and hands. Leave it for 20 minutes. Rinse with Luke warm water. And apply moisturizer soon after patting dry to lock in the moisture.
Aloe vera And Cream Mask:
Aloe vera is considered best to moisturize dry skin. Aloe vera gel has healing properties. Milk cream moisturizes the skin. For the mask add two table spoons of aloevera gel and two table spoons of fresh milk cream. Mix them to form a paste. Apply it on your clean face. You might feel a tingly sensation when you apply aloe vera gel on the face, but it is normal. Leave it for about 15- 20 minutes. Wash with normal water. Pat dry your face and use moisturizing cream or lotion.
Honey And Milk Cream Mask:
As I have mentioned earlier honey has anti bacterial and moisturizing properties and milk cream is also moisturizing. They together make skin very baby soft and also lighten it. For mask add two table spoons of honey and two table spoons of fresh cream. Make a paste out of them. Apply on clean and dry face. You can also apply it on neck and hands. Leave it for about 15-20 minutes. Wash with water. You might find it a bit sticky to wash off due to both ingredients. But don't worry you can use Luke warm water to wash off. Use a moisturizer afterwards.
Aloe Vera And Egg Mask:
This mask is also very good for moisturizing dry skin. Eggs are also good for tightening the skin and reducing fine lines. Take two spoons of aloe vera gel and one egg. Mix them well in a bowl to make a uniform consistency. Apply on your face and neck. Leave it for 20- 25 minutes. Wash with water and apply moisturizer.
That is all about home made masks for dry flaky skin. You can use any ingredients that suits your skin. There are no side effects because of all ingredients being natural. Always make sure to tie your hair backwards before applying any mask. And after washing never forget to apply moisturizer to lock all the moisture in your skin making it more soft and fresh looking. For best results use these mask twice a week or at least once a week according to your skin requirements.
Take care and stay happy.
