4 homemade masks to regenerate your skin in 10 minutes

In less than 10 minutes you can get your skin to regain all its light. You only need some natural ingredients.

Masks are preparations used to cleanse, absorb toxins and particles that clog pores, detoxify and purify the skin. They are so easy to prepare that you can make them in your kitchen.

They are usually made with absorbent and purifying substances, such as clays, or nutritious and moisturizing ingredients, such as fruits and vegetables. They can also contain honey or aloe to help detoxify and regenerate the skin. They serve to regulate excess sebum and mattify, and leave the skin soft and fresh.

For an exfoliating mask you can use clays. In addition to purifying the skin, they act as a very mild abrasive capable of removing dead surface cells. Clays are very easy to handle and are available in specialized stores or herbalists.

WHEN AND HOW TO WEAR A MASK

Ideally, use the masks once a week. They are applied to a clean, damp face with a brush or fingers, avoiding the eye and lip area.

They are left to act for 5 to 8 minutes and when you feel that the skin begins to dry and tighten, they are rinsed with warm water. The face is then gently patted dry.

If you exfoliate the skin before applying the mask, you will achieve a deep purifying effect, since you will eliminate dead cells and toxins that clog pores.
