DIY Face Masks for Anti-Aging

There’s nothing like sitting down at the end of the day and slapping on a nice face mask, settling in with a glass of wine, and your favorite TV show.

Those face masks can get expensive though, and oftentimes they’re full of chemicals that don’t do much to help you fight back against aging!

Instead of spending the money for something that isn’t as natural as it may claim, going the DIY route lets you stay in control of all the ingredients and the effects. There’s no time like the present to get started!

Egg White Mask

All the ingredients you need to make the perfect anti-aging mask are right in your kitchen!

This egg white mask is packed with astringent properties that help tighten your skin and actually reduce the size of your pores. The added honey acts as a moisturizer and the tea tree that tops it all off is a natural antiseptic that keeps you from getting acne!

Start by separating the egg whites from the yolk in a bowl. Add a teaspoon of honey along with a few drops of tea tree oil and mix it all together thoroughly. Cleanse your face first and apply and let it sit for20 minutes before washing it off with water

Buttermilk Mask

Buttermilk actually nourishes your skin while the oatmeal in the mixture buffs away the dead skin that may linger on your face and leave you looking older than you feel!

The last touch of olive oil is all about adding back a little moisture onto your skin that keeps it looking good and glowing. Start this mask with half a cup of fresh buttermilk, 2 tablespoons of oatmeal, and heat the mixture for about a minute. You can warm this up on the stove or in the microwave to keep it quick and simple!

Once you’ve got the mixture warmed up, add in two teaspoons of olive oil and let it cool down completely. Don’t rush this part! If the mixture isn’t cool, you run the risk of burning your face and causing even more damage than just feeling or looking a little older.

After it’s cooled down, apply it to your face and let it sit for 10-20 minutes before washing it off and following it with your favorite moisturizer!

Using cold water to wash off the mask refreshes your skin and helps close up your pores and keeps them smaller!

Takeaway

Face masks are a fun way to help your skin stay young, smooth, and glowing without breaking the bank! When you turn from store-bought masks that can be packed with chemicals for ones you can make with ingredients in your own kitchen, you’re in control of how it impacts your life and your youth!
