Who doesn't want to age as fine as wine? Like everything else in life, your skin too goes through changes after the age of 25 and the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and spots become more evident. But the good news is that you can defy aging to a great extent by starting to care for your skin early in the day.
Use these natural homemade face masks twice a week for a beautiful youthful skin...
1. Honey & Yoghurt Mask
It is well known that honey and yoghurt are two ingredients that have been used for Indian skincare for centuries. But do you know why? While honey makes for an exfoliator and brightens the skin the lactic acid in yoghurt reduces the visibility of wrinkles and peels away dead cells.
How To Do It:
Mix well two tablespoons of honey and half a cup of yoghurt. Apply to face and neck for 20 mins. Rinse with warm water to reveal soft dewy skin.
2. Banana Mask
The secret to defying aging lies in providing adequate moisture to the skin. Apart from being packed with vitamins and nutrients that encourage glow, bananas also contain 75% water which provides intense hydration to your skin. Coupled with yoghurt and a natural emollient like honey, this banana mask is the ultimate fruity delight that your dull skin has been craving for.
How To Do It:
Mash half a banana with a fork to make a smooth paste. To this add a tablespoon of honey and two tablespoons of thick yoghurt and mix well. Apply this face mask on a cleansed face and neck and wash it off after 15 minutes.
3. Cucumber Mask
Cucumber is popular for reducing puffiness, dark circles, and providing hydration to the skin. It also contains silica, which helps add a collagen boost and maintain elasticity for an aging skin. Add this soothing cucumber mask to your skin care regime and watch your tired skin rejuvenate!
How To Do It:
Combine half peeled cucumber with half teaspoon lemon juice and blend in a food processor. Apply this all over to your face and neck. Let it dry for 20 mins. Wash this off with lukewarm water.
