How to Make a Fruit Mask
Fruit masks are easy to make and a great way to pamper skin. They exfoliate, hydrate and leave it with a beautiful glow!
For oily skin, try a face pack that includes ingredients like papaya and pineapple which help control oil production and unclog pores. Alternatively, use a face mask that contains moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera and hyaluronic acid.
Cucumber Mask
Cucumbers aren’t just a tasty addition to salads, they have anti-inflammatory properties and are loaded with antioxidants and nutrients, including vitamin C and folic acid. These make them a great ingredient to include in a face mask.
Combined with other ingredients that have known skin-benefiting properties, such as honey or aloe vera, cucumber can help shrink wrinkles and reduce blemishes. The combination of its hydrating and cleansing properties can also help to balance out the skin’s natural oil production.
To use a cucumber mask, first rinse the face to remove dirt and makeup. Then, place the cucumber puree into a blender and blend until smooth. Use a fine mesh strainer to separate the cucumber juice from the solids and discard the solids. Then, gently massage the mixture into the skin Fruit Mask in small circles to promote penetration of the face mask and to stimulate blood flow to the skin. Leave the mask on for about 15 minutes and rinse with cool or lukewarm water.
