Some ingredients that we use daily in the kitchen still have some tricks up their sleeves that will help your skin to remove impurities and regain shine. Let's discover them together.
Did you know that coffee has regenerating properties that give your skin softness and elasticity? And do you know all the benefits of lemon for the skin of your face? Discover how to prepare in just five minutes of natural face packs with a few genuine ingredients, which work!
Mask N.1: the combination of Honey and Coffee
Let's start immediately with two very good basic ingredients thanks to their regenerating properties. The honey will leave your skin very soft and velvety while the coffee will act as a natural scrub, awakening all the pores of the face. We recommend mixing a teaspoon of honey (any) with two teaspoons well filled with ground coffee, then leave to rest only five minutes ... just enough time to prepare a real coffee, that you face the day with the right sprint! We recommend this mask once a week, as soon as it wakes up!
Mask N.2: white like milk, red like...tomato!
This treatment has purifying properties thanks to the acidic action of the tomato and the basic pH of the milk. The advice is to take a small chupito glass and fill it with a teaspoon of whole milk and half a teaspoon of tomato paste, mix everything well and then with a clean sponge (not the one you use for makeup) go to dab evenly on the skin of the face. This mask is designed to purify the skin during the night, so we recommend applying it and rinsing it once every five to six days before going to bed.
Mask No.3: Honey and Lemon for a spring explosion!
The yellow revenge starts from here! It seems incredible but some colors can convey different moods depending on the situations in which we find ourselves. Blue, for example, is known to convey calm and tranquility while yellow...is the color of combat! It is no coincidence that the fate of honey and lemon juice crossed to help women in the most asphyxiating daily battle of all: the one against blackheads!
Despite the delicious aroma of these two ingredients, don't be fooled: they are deadly weapons against facial impurities and will make blackheads disappear in a few weeks. We recommend mixing a spoonful of honey and a teaspoonful of freshly squeezed lemon juice a couple of times a week.
The rest time is just five minutes but be careful: it is important, after applying the mask, do not expose yourself to the sun until you rinse. The very acid-base of the lemon leaves no way out of imperfections but, if used incorrectly, risks leaving annoying spots of color on the skin!
Mask N.4: Aloe and Turmeric gel against oily skin
For this DIY facial you will need two teaspoons of Aloe Vera gel and a tablespoon of turmeric. This particular Asian spice with sweet and sour notes will prove to be an effective solution for oily skin because the chemical reaction with the Aloe gel will help your face to eliminate excess sebum. This mask can be applied once a week, preferably before bedtime or in the morning before breakfast.
Mask No.5: Free pores with Albumen and Lemon Juice
We know that the idea of having egg white on your face may not look tempting... but wait, this treatment will amaze you! The nutritional properties of the egg are well known, leaving the skin (but also the hair) very clean and smooth. This mixture is composed of one egg white and one teaspoon full of lemon juice: after a few treatments, you will see the difference! Your face will appear brighter and more compact because the pores will be opened and it will be easier for your skin to remove impurities. After applying it, leave to work for up to five minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water, no more than twice a week.
Mask No.6: healthy skin with Coconut Oil and Turmeric Easily available in pharmacies, edible coconut oil is an excellent substitute for olive oil, but it can also be very useful against dry lips and sunburn. Here we propose it as a guarantee of authenticity: one teaspoon of coconut oil and half a teaspoon of turmeric are in fact companions against chemical pollutants such as smog and fine dust. Protecting your skin has never been easier! Applying these products three times a week will give you wonderful results after just fifteen days: your skin will appear visibly healthier and more hydrated.
