3 Homemade Face Masks!

i've started using more natural products on my face and skin because store bought face wash and masks have a lot of harsh ingredients that i've noticed are starting to irritate my skin... so... i did some research and came up with three face masks/scrubs that you can make at home with products from your kitchen!

i know this isn't a fashion post, but beauty starts from within and when you feel good about yourself thats all that matters, im actually working on a self esteem blog post that will be published soon. taking care of yourself is one of the first steps to feeling good about yourself, so i hope you enjoy.

also, im thinking about turning June, into an all-about-me month, i will be posting things like self confidence, heathly food options, fun ways to exercise and beauty from within kind of things. so let me know what you think!!


alrighty - here we go!!


1. green tea face mask!





ingredients:

green tea bag



honey



sugar



Vitamin E (optional)



we all know the postive benefits of green tea... its full of antioxidents and helps to boost metabolism... blah.. blah.. blah... but did you know its also good for your skin?

brew a cup of green tea in hot water for about a minute then remove the tea bag. in a little dish empty the tea leaves from the tea bag. mix a table spoon of sugar and a dollop of honey and mix it all up.

scrub the mix all over your face then let it sit for about 5-7 minutes.

your skin might be a little red after you wash all of it off but now's a good time to moisturize your face with your favorite moistuizer.

the green tea and honey help nourish your skin while fighting acne or acne scaring. the caffeine in the green tea helps to awken the skin, the sugar scrubs away all the dirt and gunk, and the honey helps to add moisture.

do this a couple times a week for best results.




2. Cinnamon and Honey



Ingredients

cinnamon


honey




Vitamin e (optional)




heat up the honey in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, you dont want it to get too hot, but you want it to be warm enough for the cinnamon to mix in smoothly. add a couple of drops of vitamin e if you want to add extra moisture to your skin.

cleanse your face of any make-up or dirt from the day with warm water, then slather on the cinnamon honey mask. i like to keep mine on for about 10-15 minutes. then wipe your face gently removing all of the mask, use warm water. use a toner to help skin relax, and the  moisturize.

the honey and cinnamon help to rid your skin of impurities and cleanse all of your pores. this also helps to fight acne, but works great if you just want fresh clean skin as well.



3. lavender rose salt scrub.



ingredients

lavender rose tea





salt



tea tree oil




so this mask is great if you want to relieve stress and relax for an evening. this scrub is also great for your whole body.

again like the green tea, brew a cup of lavender rose tea for about  a minute then extract the tea bag and cut it open, pour the tea leaves in a bowl, mix the salt (about 2-3 tablespoons) and just a couple of drops of tea tree oil ( a little goes a looooong way). mix it all together.

i dont recommend this as a face mask, just lightly scrub it on your face then wash off. for me personally it works better just as a quick face scrub. the lavener scent can be a bit strong.

its great for relieving headaches and relaxing the body. use it to scrub your whole body after a long day.






i hope you enjoyed and try one or all of these face masks (remember to research what you're allergic to before hand)

Much Love <3
