Stressful situations, overworking, lack of sleep, health problems — all of this can make our facial skin look and feel tired. All too often, the everyday pressures of modern life seem to drain our bodies of vitality, which in turn leads to our skin becoming drab and lifeless. As a result, our mood and self-esteem take a nosedive each time we look in the mirror.
We decided to find a solution to this problem. We’ve searched far and wide and are now happy to present a selection of five effective facial mask recipes that will restore life to your skin and make you feel good about your appearance. What’s more, all of these masks are easy to prepare and don’t require costly ingredients!
Some general advice on using facial masks:
1. Check your skin for possible adverse reactions before using the mask. Put some of the mask’s material on the bend of your elbow. If no irritation appears after 15 minutes, it is safe to apply the mask to your face.
2. Always rinse your face before applying the mask.
3. Before starting to prepare the mask, make sure that all of the ingredients are fresh. When the mask is ready, use it immediately.
4. While applying the mask, follow the facial massaging lines, starting from the bottom part of the face and moving upwards. The first stage of mask application should begin at the chin (or the neck) and finish in the forehead region.
The second stage involves using both hands simultaneously, moving from the chin to the ears and from the edges of the lips to the ears. Finally, concentrate on applying the mask to the upper part of your face by starting at the middle of the forehead and moving towards the temples.
5. Always leave some clear skin around your eyes and mouth. Once the mask is applied, it’s best to lie down, close your eyes, and relax. Ideally, you should apply facial masks in the evening before going to bed.
6. Don’t leave the mask on for too long. If your skin feels any discomfort during the procedure, wash the mask off immediately.
7. Remove your masks with water only. Avoid using cleaning agents. Make sure that the water temperature is right for your skin type. For example, oily skin dislikes hot water, while dry skin only feels comfortable after a warm wash. Once the mask is removed, treat your skin to some moisturizing cream.
