6 honey masks for the face at home

What honey to choose for a mask:

Anyone you like best, but always fresh, and best of all - untreated with chemical additives, including helping to preserve the products for as long as possible preservatives.

For sensitive skin:

Take:

• 
  2 teaspoons of fresh honey;


• 
  1 teaspoon of aloe vera gel.

Mix aloe vera and honey and apply a thin layer on your face. Leave for 10-20 minutes, then rinse with water. Aloe soothes the skin and relieves inflammation, which is ideal for sensitive, inflamed skin.

For dry skin:

• 
  1 teaspoon crushed avocado pulp;


• 
  1 teaspoon of milk yogurt (no additives);


• 
  1 teaspoon of fresh honey.

Combine all the ingredients, mixing them up tohomogeneous state. Keep the mask on your face for 20-30 minutes, and then - to wash off. Avocado and milk yogurt deeply moisturize the skin, and lactose in yogurt makes it smooth, narrows the pores and stimulates the production of collagen.

For skin with small scars and black dots:

• 
  2 teaspoons of fresh honey;


• 
  1/2 teaspoon lemon juice.

Mix honey and juice, apply the mixture on the face andleave for half an hour. Lemon juice exfoliates the skin and brightens pigmented spots. The feeling of freshness on the skin you will feel immediately, but for the visual change of points or scars will require more than one application.

For skin with acne:

• 
  3 teaspoons of fresh honey;


• 
  1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (ground).

Mix honey and cinnamon, apply on the skin with a thin layer and keep from 10 minutes to half an hour. Both honey and cinnamon have antibacterial properties, which is especially suitable for skin with acne.

Cinnamon is a pretty strong remedy (for skin effects), so it's best to first test the mixture on the wrist's skin to avoid an allergic reaction.

Anti-aging mask:

• 
  half an avocado;


• 
  


• 
  1 teaspoon of honey;


• 
  2 teaspoons of warm water.

Crush the avocado pulp, mix it with honey and water until smooth and keep on the skin for no more than 10 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

Mask with clay:

• 
  1 tablespoon of clay;


• 
  4 tablespoons of honey;


• 
  5 drops of aromamasla (at your option, suitable for example, lavender or tea tree oil).

Mix clay and honey, and after 1 drop add oil, stirring constantly the mixture.

Apply on face with circular soft movements(these massage movements should last at least a minute, even if the mask has already been applied completely), and leave it for 20 minutes. Then rinse with cool water.

Clay helps to eliminate toxins and soothes inflammation. Depending on which clay you choose, the effect may be different. For example:

• 
  bentonite clay: the most, perhaps, known from cosmetic clays. Has a powerful penetrating and cleansing effect and is well suited for oily skin and skin with acne, but for sensitive skin is not good - bentonite is noticeably overdried. This clay is good for cleansing, narrowing the pores and removing toxins.


• 
  French green clay: it is slightly softer than bentonite, it removes skin fat and improves blood circulation. This type of clay is suitable for normal and prone to oily skin.


• 
  kaolin clay: the best option for cleansing sensitive and dry skin, the softest effect. Effectively kills bacteria, removes dead particles and stimulates blood supply.


• 
  Moroccan red clay: better than all other varieties of clay removes black dots and has the most noticeable exfoliating effect. Moroccan clay is good for sensitive, acne prone skin.

For this type of honey mask, choose the clay that is most suitable for you.
