5 Ideal Masks To Have A Radiant Skin

Facial masks are a natural, fast and effective resource to achieve, in just a few minutes, a healthy and radiant skin.

When you look in the mirror, what would you say your face looks like? If you had to leave in a few minutes to an event, would you feel confident about what you look like?  The reality is that very few would answer “Yes” to this question. Therefore, we want to share with you the recipes of some masks so that you can show off a radiant face at any time.

There are facial treatments that, when applied regularly, nourish the face, fight dryness or solve acne problems. However, there will be times when, surely, you will need your radiant face to show off a perfect makeup, without so much previous treatment.

If you have seen yourself reflected in that situation, I invite you to try the following masks:

1. Chamomile and papaya mask

Chamomile is helpful in detoxifying the skin, while papaya exfoliates and moisturizes.

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup of warm water.
• A handful of chamomile flowers.
• 1 slice of papaya.

preparation:

1. Bring the ¼ cup of warm water to a simmer.
2. Remove it from the heat when it has a high temperature, but not yet boiling.
3. Add the chamomile flowers to a glass bowl and pour in the hot water.
4. Let the infusion cool for 10 minutes.
5. Place the chamomile infusion in a blender with the papaya slice.
6. Blend until you get a paste.

App:

1. Apply the paste on your face with the help of a brush.
2. Cover your face with a damp cloth or towel.
3. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

2. Ground oat mask

Oatmeal is a food of incredible value and contribution to health. We recommend using oatmeal-based masks not only for the face, but also for the body and hair.

Two of the ingredients in this mask are honey and ice. Honey adds incredible shine, while ice softens wrinkles and tightens skin.  And of course, oatmeal doubles as a scrub.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup of water.
• 3 tablespoons of powdered oatmeal.
• 1 teaspoon of honey.
• 1 ice cube

preparation:

Run the water, oatmeal, and honey through a blender or food processor.

App:

1. Apply to the face, evenly, with the help of a brush or sponge.
2. Leave on for 10 minutes.
3. Remove with lukewarm water.
4. Rub the ice all over your face to close the pores.

3) Tomato mask

Don’t have chamomile or oatmeal on hand? But surely you do have in your kitchen, even a piece, tomato.

In that case, you are in luck since, in addition to being an easy-to-combine and highly nutritious food,  tomato is an excellent facial bleach and bacteria killer.

Ingredient:

• 1 tomato.

preparation:

Take the pulp with your hands, if the tomato is cooked. If the tomato is a little green, mash the pulp with a spoon or with a food processor.

App:

1. Apply it directly to the face.
2. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
3. Rinse with cool water.

This mask is one of the best facial recipes to have a radiant face in just a few minutes. And it is that the freshness that the skin acquires is practically immediate. If you decide to apply it frequently, you will see that the spots gradually begin to disappear.

4. Yogurt mask

It is an excellent recipe for the development of different facial treatments. The advantage it has is that yogurt can be used alone or accompanied.

It is an ideal mask for dehydrated, dry or blemished skin.

1. Put the yogurt in the refrigerator an hour before applying it.
2. Beat the cold yogurt in a glass bowl for 1 minute until it looks creamy.

For best results with this mask, temperature is essential; the colder the yogurt, the better the results in terms of freshness to the skin.

Bananas are considered one of the best natural moisturizers ; a true gift from mother nature. And its action is immediate.

So take advantage of any banana you have at home. The most recommended to prepare this mask are ripe bananas.

Additional indications when applying facial masks

For these masks to give the expected results in terms of effects on the skin, it is important that you take into account the following indications:

1. Apply the masks to clean skin. Although some of the masks exfoliate, their action will be faster if you first wash your face with mild soap and water.
2. Prepare the masks on the spot. Avoid leaving them to rest for more than two hours. If you leave them for a longer time, some of their ingredients may lose their properties, which makes them less effective.

Finally, use fresh produce. Ideally, you should choose products in good condition. In the case of papaya or banana, you can choose them with a certain degree of maturity, without being decomposed, of course.
