3 magic masks to get rid of winter skin problems

Even in ancient times, and especially in ancient Egypt, women always made face masks to preserve the beauty of their skin and protect it from unfavorable weather conditions, as they mixed honey and milk together to make moisturizing masks for the skin. Today, it is easy to find a face mask from major cosmetic companies that is available for any skin type. However, skin suffers from many problems in winter, most notably dryness, redness and dullness. Therefore, it needs protection from harmful external factors, through wonderful natural mixes that you prepare yourself.

Here are 3 magic masks that get rid of winter skin problems :

Fight redness with a strawberry mask and yogurt

One handful of strawberries is enough to fight the annoying redness that winter causes to your skin. The secret is salicylic acid, which soothes redness and acne.

Ingredients

• A few strawberries
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon of yogurt 

Method

• Mash the strawberries well, then mix them with yogurt and honey. This can easily be made into paste in your electric mixer.
• Apply the mixture on your face and leave it for 20 minutes, then wash it off well with lukewarm water.

Pink cheeks with a mask of rose and honey

For this recipe, you will need equal amounts of rose water and honey. Mixing it well will turn it into a perfect winter mask for your face. The honey will protect your skin while the rose water will soothe it. Thanks to the combined efforts of these two ingredients, you will have perfect skin during the winter season.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon rose water
• 1 tablespoon honey

Method

• In a small, clean bowl, put distilled water to a boil (measure a little more water than you can put in a 4 oz spray bottle ). 
• Add a handful of dried red rose petals (you can use fresh red rose petals, but make sure they’re fragrant and not rich in chemicals).
• Cover the pot and leave the rose petals on low heat until they lose their color.
• Turn off the heat and let the rose water cool completely.
• Once cool, strain the rose water into a cloth bag over a glass container. 
• Pour filtered rose water into a spray bottle. 
• Use it daily and keep it for 7 days at room temperature or up to a month in the refrigerator. 

Get rid of the effects of winter on your skin with a cocoa mask

Ingredients

• ½ tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons of coconut milk

Method

• To make this mask and leave it on your face, you need to mix cocoa powder with coconut milk and honey.
• For a perfect recipe, you can use ½ tablespoon of cocoa powder, with twice the amount of honey and four times the amount of coconut milk. This is ideal for those with oily skin or an active T Zone, but they still need good protection from the winter conditions.
• Apply the mask on your skin after mixing the ingredients well and leave it for 15 to 30 minutes, then wash it off with warm water.
