We can all agree that taking care of ourselves is very essential since, if we properly take care of ourselves, we can eventually take care of our loved ones. Even though some may argue that self-care and beauty treatment is a form of vanity, this is completed misinterpreted nowadays. Taking care of yourself is not vain; self-care can be reflected in many ways: nutrition, exercise, fashion, intellectual and mental care, as well as beauty care. We should stop demonizing the fact that self-care is only about reading books and learning new things. It is also taking care of our physical self by treating it the way we treat our minds.
As far as I am concerned, face care is particularly important since our face is the first thing we see in the mirror every morning. And if we want to be happy and ready to seize the day, we should establish healthy routines which will make our face shine-accompanying it with a big smile every day!
Think it another way: if beauty wasn’t so important, would the beauty industry be a billion-dollar industry? This happens because people DO want to treat themselves properly. Even though there is a tone of facial care products globally and exceptional quality, in some cases, what our skin really needs is to be treated naturally, without any additives or conservatives or, for some reason, some of us do not want to spend every month a fortune in beauty products.
So, there is no reason to worry for those who want to treat us affordably and do not have time for treatments that take a lot of our time! Nature has taken care of us, too. With a few natural ingredients that we can already find in our kitchen and refrigerator, we can make easy-peasy face masks that will give us glowing, healthy, hydrated, and rejuvenated face skin! After a lot of searching and some advice from our grandma, we tried several recipes, and here we present the top 3!
Ingredients
1 medium-size banana
2 tablespoons of honey
¼ cup of yogurt
Preparation
Put all your ingredients in a bowl and mash them. Mix them well to make a soft mixture.
Application
Apply the mask to your face. Leave the mask on for about 20 minutes. Then rinse with plenty of cold water and wipe gently.
Ingredients
1/3 cup oats
½ a cup of warm water (do not let it boil)
2 tablespoons of yogurt
2 tablespoons of honey
a small egg white
Preparation
Put the oats with the warm water in a bowl for a while until homogenized. Add the yogurt, the honey, and the egg white. Mix your ingredients well so that the mixture has the form of a thick paste.
Application
Apply a small layer of paste on your face, massage lightly, avoiding the eye area. Leave the mask on for about 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse your face with plenty of warm water and wipe gently.
Ingredients
¼ avocado
1 teaspoon of yogurt
Preparation
Mash the avocado in a bowl and add the yogurt. Mix them very well until they become a uniform thick mixture.
Application
Apply the mixture on your face in addition to the eyes and the area around them. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes, and then rinse your face with cold water. Wipe gently.
The application of the masks can be repeated 1-2 times a week.
Before each application, we check on another part of the body, e.g., inside of our hand, for any rashes or allergies that may occur and which we do not know in advance. In case we are allergic to any of the ingredients of the masks mentioned, we do not use the mask!
