Hey everyone,
Yayy! This is my first post on IMBB 🙂 Summer is in full swing, and it’s really hard to stay anywhere without an AC. So, I thought it’s time to take the help of nature and make a face mask, which would refresh the skin, lock in the moisture and rejuvenate the skin gently. IMBB has loads of awesome DIYs and, I hope this one is up to the mark as they are 🙂 This recipe in question can be used as a face mask as well as a face scrub. So, without further ado, let’s get started!
Ingredients and their Benefits:
1. Rose Petal Powder: Roses are well-known for enhancing your skin to a great extent. And, rose petal powder is no exception. The key role of rose petal powder in this face mask is, it exfoliates your skin while uplifting your mood with its mild fragrance. It also moisturises your skin without making it greasy. I prepared this rose petal powder using dried rose petals but, you can use the store bought ones.
2. Almond Powder: While almonds are great for your health, they are sure to add a nourishing glow to your skin. Almond powder is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which promote the cell-renewal process. So, when you come home after a long tiring day, you get all the goodness from this one ingredient. It also adds an instant glow to your tired skin. So, you don’t have to book a salon appointment to flaunt a glowing skin at a night party!
3. Aloe Vera Gel: Do I really need to explain its beauty benefits? 🙂 Aloe vera gel acts as an instant refreshing agent in this face mask. It soothes your skin and adds a boost of moisture while keeping your skin oil-free for a long time. An added advantage is, it allows the primer to glide on your skin super smoothly.
Procedure:
Step 1: To prepare the almond powder, take some almonds (make sure they don’t have even 1% of moisture in them) and grind them to a coarse powdery form. You can grind them with the peel, too.
Step 2: Take a clean bowl and add 1 tablespoon of almond powder.
Step 3: Add 1 tablespoon of rose petal powder and mix the ingredients well.
Step 4: Now, add 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel into the mixture. Mix all the ingredients into a smooth paste.
Step 5: You can add some rose water if you find the paste to be very thick.
Step 6: Apply it on your freshly washed face with gentle rubbing motions before allowing it to rest on your skin for about 15 minutes.
Step 7: Rinsing off can be a bit difficult, so use a damp towel to wipe off the face mask.
Benefits of using this 2-in-1 Face Mask:
This 2-in-1 face mask is sure to make your skin cool and oil-free! The best time to use this face mask is at night or in the evening, precisely, use it after a long, tiring day. A regular usage of this face mask will even out your skin tone, controls sweat and keeps oily shine at bay. Also, it removes the dead skin cells to reveal a brighter complexion. You can also add in your favourite essential oils to enjoy additional benefits. This face mask is suitable for all skin types, however, make sure to do a patch test before applying it on your face.
That’s it! A super simple recipe to get a glowing face and a refreshed mood in this hot summer! Do try it 🙂
