We know that the quality of our skin is directly linked to our physical and mental health. With an understanding of that, it’s important to cleanse your skin regularly. This can be done by applying a homemade face pack. By creating these face packs, you’re able to get a deeper, more luxurious cleanse than if you just purchased one at the store. These natural home remedies are easy and quick to produce, so they’re also perfect for busy people like yourself who don’t have time to go out and buy ingredients. Here are some examples of four different homemade face packs that will help you feel good about how you look without spending a lot of money.
Homemade Face Packs that Help Cleanse and Brighten Your Skin
A Healthy Green Tea Face Pack
Green tea is a great option for cosmetic purposes because it has numerous benefits. It helps cleanse the skin, fight pimples, and prevent acne from forming. To make an effective green tea face pack, you’ll need:
- 1 teaspoon of green tea powder or leaves
- 1/4 cup of distilled water
- 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt or freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar
- 3-5 drops of essential oil
To use this face pack, add a tablespoon of the liquid to your hands and massage it into your skin. Leave it on for 10 minutes to let the green tea do its work, but don’t forget to rinse off when you’re done! The green tea will leave your skin refreshed and feeling fresh.
Why do we need to cleanse our skin?
Cleaning our skin regularly helps us maintain a healthy lifestyle. It has been scientifically proven that people who have clean, healthy and glowing skin also have higher self-esteem.
Another reason to cleanse your skin is because it will help you avoid acne breakouts. Acne breakouts can be prevented by cleansing your face every day with a facial scrub before applying a toner and moisturizer.
A final reason to cleanse your skin is because it’ll make your makeup last longer. Cleansing the oil from your skin will allow the makeup to sit on top of the natural oils rather than sit underneath them, so there’s less chance for it to smear or fade.
Let’s say you want to create a homemade face pack for oily skin. You would combine ingredients like cucumber, green tea, yogurt, honey and lemon juice in a blender container and mix them until they become a paste consistency. This mixture would then be applied to the face with damp hands and left on for 20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water.
What are some products that you can use to cleanse your face?
You can purchase face wash, toner, and moisturizer at the store to cleanse your skin. But by making these homemade face packs, you can get a deeper, more luxurious cleanse than if you just purchased one.
Here are some examples of four different homemade face packs that will help you feel good about how you look without spending a lot of money.
Honey and Lemon Face Pack
Honey is an excellent natural cleanser that will remove excess oil in your skin while also hydrating it. Lemon is also a natural cleanser that offers antibacterial properties. For this face pack, combine 2 tablespoons of honey with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a small bowl. After combining the ingredients, mix them well until there are no lumps left. Apply the mixture to both sides of your face and leave on for 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water. This recipe works for all skin types as long as it’s combined with enough water so it doesn’t dry out your skin too much or create any allergic reactions on any sensitive parts of your body.
How to make a homemade face pack
- Blend one tablespoon of raw honey with two teaspoons each of ground turmeric, arrowroot powder, and dried mint in a bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth. Apply to your face and leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing off with warm water.
- Mix one tablespoon of raw honey, one teaspoon each of ground turmeric, coriander seeds, and roasted cumin seeds in a bowl. Stir for about 30 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth. Apply to your face and leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing off with warm water.
- Combine one teaspoon each of ground turmeric, cinnamon powder, and crushed clove in a bowl. Stir for about 30 seconds until it looks like wet sand. Combine this with three teaspoons of brown sugar in another bowl and stir well to create a paste-like consistency that can apply directly to your skin or mix it into a mask using coconut milk as an alternative to water.
The 5-minute Face Pack
This 5-minute face pack is perfect for quick and easy cleanse. You only need to mix a tablespoon of yogurt, a teaspoon of honey, and half a teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply this mixture onto your face, leave it on for five minutes and then rinse with warm water. Afterward, pat your skin dry with a towel or paper towel to remove any leftover cream.
Another option is mixing one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with two tablespoons of water in the same proportions as the first face pack. The vinegar will help loosen dirt and grime that clings to your skin while the water will kill bacteria and improve circulation in your skin. Use this mixture as you would use the previous face pack but leave it on for only three minutes instead.
If you have time to spare, you can make your own homemade facial cleanser by combining one tablespoon of olive oil with one tablespoon of lemon juice and leaving it on for 10 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. This will help tighten pores and remove dead cells from your skin while fighting acne-causing bacteria.
Another option is using egg whites mixed with olive oil to create an organic face mask that will tighten pores and fight acne-causing bacteria without drying out your skin like other face masks can do. This is a go-to mask if you have time because it’s so simple to make!
The Rosewater Face Pack
This homemade face pack can be used to cleanse and exfoliate the skin. It’s a perfect solution for those who have sensitive or dry skin, as it doesn’t leave your skin feeling tight or irritated.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon of organic rosewater
- 2 tablespoons of organic honey
- 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
Directions:
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until they are thoroughly mixed. Apply to the face and wipe off with a damp washcloth when done.
The Hydrating Fruit Face Pack
Mix one tablespoon of lemon juice, honey, and cinnamon in a jar and shake to combine. Add three tablespoons of oatmeal and stir to combine. Place your face pack mixture on a paper towel before placing it on your skin. Leave the mixture on for 15 minutes before rinsing it off with water.
This is an easy, quick homemade face pack that will help nourish your skin and give it a fresh glow without making you break the bank.
The Cucumber Facial Pack
Take two tablespoons of cucumber seeds and add them to four tablespoons of rosewater in a bowl. Stir to combine then add two to three drops of lavender essential oil. Apply this mixture all over your face with a cotton ball or gauze pad and leave it on for ten minutes before rinsing off with water.
This is another easy-to-make facial pack that will tone your skin while hydrating it at the same time.
The Aloe Vera Face Pack
The face pack is made with aloe vera juice, yogurt, and honey. You will only need two ingredients to make your own homemade face pack, so it’s really easy to put together. The two ingredients are aloe vera gel and yogurt. Why use these two ingredients? Aloe vera juice is a natural moisturizer that hydrates the skin while helping heal blemishes, and the yogurt helps to tighten pores. These two ingredients are combined in a bowl and then applied to your face with a spoon or spatula. You’ll want to apply this for about 20 minutes before rinsing your skin off with warm water. After washing your face off, you’ll want to pat dry it so that the moisture doesn’t drip down into your eyes.
Conclusion
When it comes to skin care, you need to take a multi-pronged approach in order to keep your skin healthy and glowing. These homemade face packs are the perfect way to start your routine.
