And yet another blog to fill your mind and add to your knowledge bank to improve your daily skin care for that glamorous skin you have always dreamed of.
However, don’t just dream about it now, live it. Start off small and start off with the most obvious. Our face.
The face is the first thing one notices from another. And you know what they say about first impressions. Make the best of it by making your face glow with beauty and everything else will follow.
Face masks are the best way to keep our whole face healthy and glowing. Here are some of the things you need to look for when picking out what facial mask to use for you.
Honey
Honey is not only a delicious addition to your desserts but it is also a wonderful ingredient for skin care products.
Honey is generous in providing antioxidants which enables your skin to fight against free radicals that can cause aging and skin cancer. It also has antiseptics which is also effective against acne.
Charcoal
Pretty ironic when one wants to be “clean”, you never even thought about charcoal being in the list. However, the truth may be a bit hard to believe but it is undeniable.
Charcoal is the answer to your clogged pores problems, face impurities, and those pesky blackheads.
Volcanic Clay
Just like charcoal, volcanic clay also gives tremendous help in the beauty industry in solving clogged pores, large pores, blackheads and skin impurities.
They have the unique ability to absorb and attract dirt and be easily removed from your skin.
Collagen
You might have heard about collagen one too many times in the beauty industry.
Long story short, collagen is important to the skin because it helps in maintaining the youthful look and glow of the skin.
Chamomile
Chamomile has more uses than just being a soothing and calming flavor in tea. This also gives wonderful effects when it comes to application in your skin as part of your beauty or skincare routine.
It has anti-inflammatory effects, anti-bacterial, great healing, packed with antioxidants and more. So be sure to be on a lookout for this one in your face masks.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is one of the most renowned ingredients when it comes to medicine or beauty. It has proven and done wonders in a lot of years since it was discovered and its effects never diminished over the years. You can read more about the effects of aloe vera in one of my previous blog here.
With soothing and moisturizing effects, you can be sure that your skin will be more hydrated and healthier than before.
Red Ginseng
Red Ginseng is an herb that is found to have many benefits, may it be a topical application or oral ingestion.
It has the ability to prevent aging, helps fight skin disease and tones the skin. Therefore, it is a great choice to have as a face mask ingredient.
Milk
Just like any ingredient in this list so far, they aren’t just useful in the kitchen and for eating. But they also perform their best when it comes to other applications such as beauty and medicine.
Milk is also known for its many benefits for the body, may it be inside or outside. Therefore, it isn’t that surprising that this ingredient is a must-have for facial masks.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an ingredient that helps boost collagen production in your skin, giving you plumper and firmer look. It also aids in brightening dark spots along with protection against free radicals. Not only that, but it is also great for repairing your skin and barricade it from the sun’s rays.
So, you want healthier and well-taken care of skin, especially on the face? If facial masks are your go-to, keep an eye out on these ingredients when looking for one.
