Before starting with the various options available for easy homemade face masks for glowing skin, let’s see why is it important to apply a face mask? Face mask removes excess oil from the face, tightens it and cleanses the pores and delays aging.It also adds glow and restores the natural beauty of the skin. Since a face pack has been advised in many skin care regimes it would not be out of place to discuss how to do a quick face care session once in a week at home. Here are some of the most effective, quick skin care DIY face mask for glowing skin which can be made at home with readily available everyday used ingredients.
Here is a stepwise approach on how to go about a DIY face mask for glowing skin at home.
Directions
- Tie your hair away from the face and put a towel around your neck to prevent the pack from trickling down to your clothes.
- Wash your face with a mild face wash and dab-dry it with a napkin.
- Your face is now ready for the pack.You should choose your pack according to your skin type and the climate. Go through the options below and decide which one suits you the best.
- Apply the pack all over the face leaving the areas around eyes, ears, and lips.
- You can lie down and relax while the pack dries. On an average, it takes about 10-20 minutes for the face pack to dry depending on which face pack you apply and the climate.
- Do not talk while the pack is drying since it stretches the skin and the whole purpose is lost if the skin stretches especially around the lips and nose which is the main area for pores, pimples or blackheads.
- While removing a face mask hand movements should be in circular motions.
