Summertime is Pitta time and with the increasing intensity of the sun, our facial skin starts to suffer as well.
This is the perfect time for a self-made facial pack made from pure ingredients out of nature to give your skin a kickback of freshness and moisture.
Papaya mask
1 tbsp ripe Papaya 1 tsp Yoghurt 1 tsp Aloe Vera gel
The enzymes of the papaya act as a powerful exfoliator and dissolve inactive proteins and dead skin cells. Yoghurt is antibacterial and antifungal which both help to fight acne. And Aloe Vera has a cooling effect that moisturizes the skin.
Avocado mask
3 tbsp ripe Avocado Rosewater
Mix the Avocado with the Rosewater until you have a thick, homogeneous paste.
Avocado is a natural booster that contains vitamins B, C, E, and D which all help to restore skin, prevent wrinkles and promote softness. Rosewater helps to balance and reduces the redness of irritated skin.
Cucumber mask
1 tbsp grated Cucumber 1 tbsp Yoghurt Green Clay
Combine the cucumber with the yoghurt and add green clay to bind the mixture.
Cucumber contains vitamins and minerals that help to reduce inflamed or irritated skin and due to its high water content, it hydrates as well. Yoghurt has a cooling effect and green Clay helps to restore the balance of your skin.
Apply the mask to the cleansed face and décolleté, avoid the eye area. Use upward strokes to apply the mask and leave on for approximately 10 - 15 minutes. Use a downward movement to wash the mask gentle with warm water off.
