DIY Natural Skincare Guide: Homemade Masks and Serums for Healthy Skin

Homemade Masks for Different Skin Types

A glass-like skin is everybody's dream. But not everyone is blessed with such genes. Does that mean one should not enjoy the privilege of clear skin? Not. There are specific ways to get clearer skin. One of them is using homemade face masks and serums, which are pocket-friendly and conveniently available.

Let's make some homemade masks from your kitchen ingredients:

Clay & Tea Tree Face Mask for Oily Skin

Ingredients 

15g Aztec Healing Clay

1 tbsp (15ml) Witch Hazel with Alcohol

5-10 Drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil

Procedure

• Combine 15 grams of Aztec healing clay and one tablespoon of alcohol-based witch hazel in a non-metallic bowl. 

Pro-Tip: It's important to avoid using metal utensils, as they can neutralise the clay's negative charge, which is essential for drawing out impurities.

• Add 5-10 drops of tea tree essential oil to the mixture, adjusting based on your skin type. More for oily skin, fewer for sensitive or dry skin.
   
• Apply the mask immediately on a clean, dry face, avoiding the eye area, and leave it to dry for 10-15 minutes.
   
• Gently rinse off the mask with warm water, pat your face dry, and expect a slight flush as the mask draws blood to the surface.
   
• Apply moisturiser once your face is dry to keep your skin hydrated and balanced. Use the mask once or twice a week for the best results.

Pro-Tip: This mask acts as a natural cleanser for oily skin.
