DIY Face Mask for Glowing Skin
One of my all-time favorite treatments when my skin is going crazy, is this Lemon, Honey and Baking Soda mask. I love this mask, because it's natural, inexpensive, and very effective. I invest in a clinical skin care regimen but I also love a great bargain and there's nothing like a solid DIY treatment.
Lemon helps to brighten your overall complexion and help fade dark spots, baking soda gently exfoliates and softens skin, and honey is a natural antibacterial agent that helps to heal, soothe and even moisturize the skin. This mask can be done once a week to reduce enflamed acne, minimize redness, and clear the build up of dead skin.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
- 1/2 Lemon (fresh lemons work best, but you could also use a teaspoon of lemon juice.)
- 1 or 2 tablespoons of Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon of honey
STEPS
- Mix lemon juice, baking soda, and honey together in a small dish. You should end up with a paste-like consistency. If it's too runny, add a bit more baking soda.
- Apply the mask mixture to a clean, dry face and leave on for 5-15 minutes.
- Remove the mask with a lukewarm washcloth, using circular motions until skin is completely clean.
Once you rinse off your face, your skin should immediately feel smoother, and look brighter! Recipe courtesy of The Glossier.
