Let’s face it, we are all looking for new ways to pamper ourselves now that we’re at home more. It’s so important to continue your self-care routine even if making it to the spa or nail salon isn’t possible. Here are our must have stay at home pamper yourself tips!
DIY Face Mask
Is your skin acting up from one too many quarantine snacks? We can relate! Give your skin a pick me up with some of our favorite diy face mask recipes.
Try this mask to: Hydrate and Nourish
- 1/2 Avocado
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- A handful of oats or oat bran
Sounds delicious right?! Believe it or not, honey is an excellent humectant which means it helps the skin retain moisture without feeling oily. When massaged into the skin, this mask will not only give you a plump, glowing effect but will help with the appearance of scars and increase both healing and tissue regeneration.
You do not have to stock up on overpriced scrubs to achieve super soft and supple skin. Try this mask to: Improve Uneven Skin Texture & Tone
1 tablespoon of natural, plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder
Yogurt is filled to the brim with lactic acid which makes a visible difference to skin by lifting away rough and lackluster surface cells to uncover much newer and brighter skin.
Need to find the perfect remedy for the congested pores?
Try this mask to: Combat Oily Skin
- Half an avocado
- 1/4 cucumber, blended
Cucumber mainly contains water which will hydrate but it also contains Vitamin C and will reduce any breakout activity. While, avocado regulates oil production and is rich in oleic acid which helps reduce inflammation.
