health beauty


Natural Face masks are more than just goofy tricks that women try to get their "beauty rest." They are an important part of skin care. Facial masks can be soothing or energizing, and the actions and rituals often involved with applying them can be an effective tension reliever.
A facial mask is generally defined as a substance that is applied to the face, much like smearing on cream. Many masks make use of clay or gel as a base, as these will stay in place when applied, and they are generally harmless to most skin types (although gel is used most for sensitive skin, as heavy clays irritate it). The materials in most masks are safe to be washed down the drain.
Most facial masks include both deep cleaning and moisturizing ingredients within them. This allows the pores in the face to be cleansed completely, getting rid of oily build up and trapped dirt. This can help reduce or even prevent blemishes. Additionally, many masks help slough off dead skin. The dead top skin is inert and lusterless. This leaves younger, healthier cells exposed as the face's surface. This means tighter skin and a more glowing complexion. In spas, these masks are applied with special techniques and often include a massage. You can give your own face a soft massage just prior to applying the treatment, and if you are systematic about it, you can apply the mask in a way that is exceptionally soothing. All masks should be applied to a freshly washed face, rinsed with warm water. Apply the mask in a circular motion until it covers the face. Finally, when it is time to rinse the mask, do so in cold water. Many people enjoy making their own facial masks from normal household products like bananas (for wrinkles), avocados, and honey (antibacterial). Butter can also be used as a remedy for dry skin. Other masks can be created using different compositions of clays, and different essential oils can be used for distinct skin types. Oatmeal is very soothing, and most sensitive skin types can use masks of this sort.
