Hi Beauties!
I am sure most of the beauty obsessed people at some point have tried to make a face mask that consists basically of the ingredients you find in your kitchen cupboards and fridge :) Well, for me this is my favourite kind of skin care! I absolutely love making scrubs, masks, conditioners etc. for face and body from the ingredients I otherwise eat.
Today I'm gonna share with you a face mask recipe that's been one of my favorites for a while. Its main ingredient focus goes on spirulina - one of the greatest superfoods found on planet Earth! I love adding this powder to my food, but noticed also that when using on skin, it gives amazing results!
This mask is incredibly easy and quick to make.
Here is what you will need:
1 tsp scoop of avocado
2-3 cm of a banana
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp spirulina powder
1 tsp baking soda
Procedure:
1. Mash avocado and banana with a fork.
2. Add lemon juice and mix well.
3. Add in spirulina. Mix carefully, as this powder is very light and can go all over the place very easily :)
4. Add baking soda and mix everything. You will see how the whole mixture becomes a bit 'fluffier' at this point, thanks to soda and lemon juice reaction.
5. Apply on your face and leave on for 15-20 minutes.
6. After 15-20 min rinse it off with warm water and enjoy the results!
Place the left-over of the prepared mask into a container of choice and keep in the fridge. Use within 5-7 days.
I guess it is common sense to understand that great skin comes as a result of a generally beneficial lifestyle. Do not ever rely on one skincare product to make you look amazing. Make sure you have a healthy nutrition, physically active lifestyle and take care of your emotional world in addition to great skincare products.
I think it is much more important to eat the amazing foods, included in this recipe, however, they definitely benefit if used on the skin as well. So here are some of the benefits of this mask:
Skin moisturizer
Reduces appearance of fine lines and signs of aging
Helps skin keep its firmness
Oil control
Helps heal acne and remove blackheads
Softens skin
I hope you try out this mask and remember - although you will see the positive effect immediately, for more obvious and long lasting results, use it regularly!
Love yourselves and love each other ♥
