Is your skin looking dull and tired? This DIY Aloe Vera and Honey Face Mask may be just what you need to bring your skin back to life. Containing three simple ingredients, this homemade mask gives your skin a hydration boost and a radiant glow. All of the natural ingredients provide enormous benefits for all skin types.
Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients in this rejuvenating face mask:
Aloe Vera — There’s a reason why aloe vera is often mentioned on this blog — it provides so many benefits. Not only is it popular for health purposes, but it’s excellent for skincare too. If you look in the shops, you’ll notice that aloe vera can be found in a variety of products such as soap, moisturiser and shampoo. It works amazingly well for DIY face masks too. Here’s why:
- Helps to moisturise the skin
- Has anti-inflammatory and healing properties
- Reduces acne and helps with hyperpigmentation
- Is soothing and cooling on the skin
- Has anti-ageing properties
When choosing an aloe vera gel, it’s important to choose one that is pure and of high quality. I would recommend this aloe vera gel as it’s pure and organic.
If you have an aloe vera plant, then you can get aloe vera gel from the leaves. Simply harvest the leaves, split them open with a knife and scrape out the gel with a spoon.
Honey — Honey is another beneficial ingredient to add to homemade face masks. It’s a humectant, which means that it’s able to draw and seal in moisture. It’s also antiseptic, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory and is known for being able to heal the skin. Here’s a few of the many benefits of honey:
- Deeply moisturises and hydrates the skin
- Has the ability to fight acne and reduce spots
- Has anti-ageing properties
- Cleanses out the pores
- Brightens and rejuvenates the skin
Raw honey is the best type of honey to use for this face mask as it’s pure, unpasteurized and unfiltered.
Vitamin E Oil — Vitamin E is important for maintaining healthy skin and boosting our immune systems. It can be found in foods such as nuts, seeds and green vegetables. Vitamin E oil is a fat-soluble vitamin that is great for skincare. Here’s why:
- It’s a powerful antioxidant
- Helps to moisturise the skin
- Fights against free radicals
- Has anti-ageing properties
- Reduces hyperpigmentation
There is a lot of synthetic vitamin E oil available, so it’s important to choose one that is natural and of good quality. This vitamin E oil is a great pick.
Making this face mask is very quick and simple. All you need to do is combine the aloe vera gel, honey and vitamin E oil and mix the ingredients together.
You can apply the face mask with your fingers or by using a brush. Apply it to clean skin and then let it sit for around 15-20 minutes. Then, simply wash off with warm water.
Get the recipe:
- 2-3 tablespoons of Aloe Vera Gel
- 1 tablespoon of Raw Honey
- 2-3 drops of Vitamin E Oil
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of aloe vera gel to a small bowl.
- Next, add 1 tablespoon of honey to the bowl.
- Then, add 2 to 3 drops of Vitamin E oil.
- Mix all of the ingredients together.
- Apply the mask to clean skin with your fingers or a brush. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
