DIY: Brightening Exfoliant Face Mask (Step by Step With Pictures)

I am currently obsessed with DIY beauty treatments, especially facial masks! Every week I love to try something new. Though the other week, a face mask I tried out literally blew me away! I was so impressed I figured I'd do a step by step post on this.

As you can see in the above picture Adriana Lima's face is glowing beautifully! And this was exactly the thing I was aiming for. To do this face mask, you will need to use:

3tsp - Yogurt (Refines pores, natural exfoliant and soothes the skin)
1tsp - Honey (Eliminates fine lines, rejuvenates the skin, brightens dull skin and helps renew skin cells)
2 tsp - Sugar (Great exfoliant)
1 Lemon (Brightens dull skin)

STEP ONE

Get a bowl and add 3 table spoons of Yogurt. This will do great things to your skin, as well as making it feel much more softer!

Add 1 table spoon of honey!

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar. I've used brown sugar, but any type of sugar will be perfectly fine. For the lemon I only squeezed about 2/3 tablespoons of lemon juice into the mixture. Once that is done, thoroughly mix together.

Here is the final result!

Ensure that your face is free of makeup and cleansed before applying this facial mask. Remember to massage it on your face then leave it on. Keep it on for around 15 minutes then rinse. You will see the results instantly!

I loved this face mask so much because my skin was really glowing and my complexion became 10x brighter!! Please try this mask out, it really works wonders.

Garnier Self Heating Face Mask

I am a huge fan of face masks and I absolutely love using them to pamper myself. Through which I came across this Garnier face mask and was intrigued by it instantly.
Garnier's self heating sauna face mask comes in two packets of white clay. This formula is aimed to cleanse out blocked pores, as well as purifying the skin.

 I mostly tend to use the self heating masks as I feel those are more effective for me, so I definitely considered trying this.
Although when I applied this mask, I hardly felt it heat up at all which I was really disappointed about. I did feel the mask slightly working on my skin but not as effectively the packaging made it out to be.
I'm also used to wearing my face masks for around 10-15 minutes, as that's what most face masks require to get the most out of the product. However I was rather shocked to know that I would only have to keep this one on for roughly 3 minutes. In my opinion, I didn't feel as though that was enough time due to not feeling the mask being effective enough on my skin. Though when I did rinse this off I saw a great change in my skin.. It appeared much more brighter, and my complexion was glowing!

On the back of the packaging it mentions that this face mask is meant to make your skin be shine free ad feel purified for the next 7 days. I would certainly say I agree with that as my skin feels much more rejuvenated and fresh, but only for a couple of days. Not up to 7 as it says on the packaging.

Overall I think this mask was a great product to try and it made a difference in my skin! But I don't think I would re-purchase as I like to buy masks that really bring the best out of my skin.

Fresh, Glowing Skin in 20 Minutes!

Almond Face Mask

Homemade facial masks are the best to use because they are so cheap and affordable! They're also easy to find in your kitchen cupboards!

I've recently tried a homemade face mask used with almonds and I'm thoroughly pleased with the results, so I thought I'd share it with you!
(You will only need 3-4 almonds, along with some milk.)

Firstly leave a few almonds to soak in milk for a few hours, then mash them so the mixture becomes more smooth and fine. Once that's done, apply it to your face and leave it for a whole night to allow your skin to absorb the vitamins and goodness. In the following morning wash your face with cold water and you're done!
This process is so easy and enjoyable to do, and not on only does it make your skin glow but it also removes all the dead skin cells and makes your skin become much more brighter and the surface of your skin feel smooth and silky, leaving you with a younger, fresher looking face!

If you're determined, you can use this daily for a fortnight to see OUTSTANDING results!
