Skin Mask Recipe for Acne Treatment - Part 2
Masks have been used by
women for centuries to either hydrate, soothe or remove oils from the
skin. Peoples from different regions tried different
materials to make
their masks. For instance, people in Egypt used mud and clay
while
Europeans used milk and raw egg.
It is common to divide the
types of facial masks into two different groups. There are
the masks
designed to hydrate the skin and there are those designed to promote
blood flow and tighten the skin. An exfoliating product is
usually
applied to the skin and washed off. But a mask product is
actually
applied and left on for a 10 to 15 minute period to allow it to
work.
Follow this with a layer of moisturizer.
Below are some recipes that you can try at
home with assurance that you are using only the best that nature has to
offer – because it’s directly from
nature! If you have a food allergy
to any of the ingredients then forgo that recipe and move on to the
next.
Use a mask directly after having exfoliated.
The exfoliation will cleanse the outer skin and remove all dead skin
cells before you plump, hydrate or soothe the new cells beneath.
Acne Prone Carrot Mask
Ingredients:
- 2-3 large carrots
- 4 1/2 tablespoons honey

of honey. Add more water, or cream, if the clay is too
dry. Add a few drops of the essential oil and apply to the
