D.I.Y. Face Masks

With these mandatory stay-at-home orders, it can be easy to find yourself in an endless cycle of boredom at home. One thing you can do to lift your spirits and keep yourself busy is try this easy, do-it-yourself face mask at home.

Homemade face masks have a wide range of beneficial aspects such as:

• Natural ingredients are beneficial for sensitive skin
• Natural face masks open and cleanse your pores
• They are less likely to cause rashes and chemical burns
• They are more cost effective

For this D.I.Y. face mask, all you need are three simple ingredients: green tea, honey, and lemon. Green tea contains anti-oxidants that are calming and soothing for your skin. Honey is also a soothing ingredient that has antibacterial properties. For this face mask, you will want to make sure you use pure, unprocessed honey. Lastly, lemon is a product that is known for its acidic lightening properties. It is also has antibacterial properties and is often used as a natural way to treat acne, blackheads, and blemishes.

How To Make The Face Mask

1. Brew the green tea in a small amount of water, just enough to submerge the bag. Using a small amount of water allows the green tea to become more potent and concentrated for the face mask.
2. Remove the green tea bag and pour the tea into a small container.
3. Add a squeeze of half of one lemon, and one tsp of honey.
4. Mix the ingredients together and apply to a clean, dry face.
5. Leave the face mask on for 15 – 20 minutes.
6. Rinse with cool water and repeat as much as needed.

This face mask is one of my favorites to do at home because it is so simple and easy to make, and the ingredients are usually just things that are laying around the house. I also love the fact that the ingredients are all natural and you don’t have to worry about purchasing a mask from the store that contains ingredients you can’t pronounce.
