5 Fantastic Face Masks For Glowing Skin

When you look at yourself in the mirror, what would you say your face looks like? Do you have glowing skin? If you had to leave for an event in a few minutes, would you feel confident about how you look?

The reality is that very few people will answer ‘yes’ to this question. That’s why we want to share some recipes of some great masks so that you can always have glowing skin.

There are facials that, when applied regularly, can nourish, hydrate, or clear up acne. However, there will be times when you want your face to look radiant without too long a treatment.

If you recognize this situation, we recommend that you try the following masks for glowing skin.

1. Chamomile and papaya mask

Chamomile is a great help to detoxify the skin while papaya exfoliates and moisturizes.

Ingredients

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

Preparation

• First, put the ¼ cup of warm water on a low heat.
• Then remove it from the heat once it’s hot, but don’t let it boil.
• Then put the chamomile flowers in a glass bowl and pour in the hot water.

• Then let the decoction cool for 10 minutes.
• Then put the chamomile infusion in a blender with the papaya slice.
• Keep mixing until you get a paste.

Application

• Apply the paste to your face using a brush.
• Cover your face with a damp cloth or towel.
• Let it sit for 10 minutes.

2. Mashed Oatmeal Mask

Oats are incredibly good for your health and very useful. We recommend using oatmeal masks not only for your face, but also for your body and hair.

Two of the ingredients in this mask are honey and ice. Honey gives an incredible glow, while ice reduces wrinkles and tightens the skin. Finally, the oatmeal serves as an exfoliant.

Ingredients

• ½ cup water
• 3 tablespoons oatmeal powder
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 ice cube

Preparation

Place the water, oatmeal and honey in a blender or food processor.

Application

• Apply the mask evenly on your face using a brush or sponge.
• Let it sit for 10 minutes.
• Remove it with warm water.
• Run some ice all over your face to close the pores.

3. Tomato Mask

Don’t have chamomile or oatmeal on hand? Surely you have a tomato in your kitchen or at least a slice.

If so, you’re in luck because in addition to being a versatile and nutritious food, tomatoes are also an excellent bleaching agent for your face and a great fighter against bacteria.

Ingredients

• 1 tomato

Preparation

When the tomato is well ripe, crush it with your hands. If it is a little green, crush it with a spoon or with a food processor.

Application

• Apply it directly to your face.
• Let it sit for 5 minutes.
• Rinse it off with clean water.

This face mask recipe is one of the best for glowing skin and face in just a few minutes. In addition, you will feel a freshness on your glowing skin almost immediately. If you decide to apply it frequently, you will notice that the stains will also gradually start to disappear.

4. Yogurt Mask

This is an excellent recipe to use alongside various facials or you can use it on its own.

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

Ingredients

• 100 grams of natural yogurt

Preparation

• First put the yogurt in the fridge for at least an hour before applying.
• Then whisk the cold yogurt in a glass bowl for 1 minute until it is creamy.

Application

• Apply it to your face and neck while the yogurt is cold.
• Let it sit for 5 minutes.
• Rinse it off with clean water.

Temperature is essential for best results with this mask. The colder the yogurt is, the better the results will be in terms of skin radiance and freshness.

5. Banana Mask

Bananas are considered one of the best natural moisturisers: they are a true gift from Mother Nature. And they work immediately.

So make the most of any banana you have around the house, but it’s always best to make this mask with ripe bananas.

Ingredients:

• 1 banana without peel
• 2 tablespoons yogurt
• 1 tablespoon honey

Preparation:

• First, crush the banana until you get a smooth paste.
• Then add the yogurt and honey in a glass bowl and beat the mixture well. You can also mix everything in a blender.

Application:

• First clean your skin.
• Then apply the mask.
• Let it sit for 5 minutes.
• Rinse it off with clean water.

Additional advice for applying face masks for radiant skin

In order to get the expected results with these masks, it is important that you keep the following in mind:

• Apply the masks to clean skin. While some masks exfoliate, they work faster if you wash your face first with water and a neutral soap.
• Prepare these masks as you need them and try not to leave them on for more than two hours. If you leave them on longer, some ingredients may lose their properties and become less effective.

Ideally, use fresh produce and choose ingredients that are in good condition. In the case of papaya or banana, you can choose one with a certain degree of ripeness, as long as the pulp has not decomposed of course!
