Sunday Mask: DIY Honey-Almond Moisturizing Mask

Sunday greetings everyone!!!! Hope y'all had an amazing weekend! Last day to fully enjoy ourselves but that's fine, we shall make it one meaningful day... Or not. LOL. Or let's just lazed around all day. :P

The wedding went well yesterday. I was up by 4, makeup on by 6 and out of the house by 7; I did not return home until probably 4 AM. Needless to say, I AM TIRED. Haha. Besides being tired, my skin is also not having it either, super dry and just icky! Y'all know what time it is. MASK TIME!! 

Here is another DIY moisturizing mask to pamper my skin from yesterday's all day makeup wearing. There are four natural ingredients in this DIY mask. Oatmeal will soothe my skin of any inflammation, as will honey. Almond will help exfoliate but it is also help firm my skin, giving it a youthful bounce afterward. Last but not least, the buttermilk will lock in the moisture so my skin can heal.

Alrighty, let's get our mask on!

HONEY-ALMOND MASK

What You'll Need:
- 1 Tablespoon Oatmeal
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 2 Tablespoons Buttermilk
- 2 - 2 1/2 Tablespoon(s) Almond Powder

What To Do:
- Add all of the ingredients together into a blender.
- Blend the for about 60 seconds until somewhat of a smooth paste. (However, you do not want to over blend it, you want the oats to retain its graininess for exfoliation purposes.)
- Scrape the paste into a clean bowl.

How To Use It:
- Gently apply to your clean face.
- Allow to sit for about 15-20 minutes.
- When you go to rinse the mask off, use your fingers to gently massage the mask onto your face. The grains will serve as the last purpose as an exfoliant.
- Rinse off with warm water and splash with cold water to close up the pores.
- Pat to dry.

Hope y'all enjoyed yet another simple DIY recipe. If you did give this recipe a try, please do let me know how it went for you.

Thank you very much for visiting and thanks a bunches for reading. Please come back tomorrow for a manicure post. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! :)

Sunday Mask: DIY "Mud" Mask

Hello Sunday everyone. How have you been enjoying your weekend?

I had a blast last night, got a little emotional towards the end of the night though. Gonna miss them so much! Can't wait until the end of the year to see them again. That was yesterday, today is my Maternal Grandmother's memorial, which basically means it's been busy since early morning. Lots of food to make and need to be offered.

But here is another easy DIY face mask with handy ingredients you probably have in your fridge. Let's pull them out and whip up a little something for our skin to prep it for this upcoming week.

DIY "Mud" Mask

What you'll need:
-1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
-1 Teaspoon Honey
-1 Teaspoon of Cocoa Powder
-1 Teaspoon Soy Milk OR Almond Milk OR Buttermilk
-1/2 a Banana
-3 Tablespoon Plain Yogurt

**ADJUSTMENTS
Oily Skin, use less honey and more lemon juice
Dry Skin, use less lemon juice and more honey

What to do:
-Throw everything in a blender, food processor or anything like a Magic Bullet and mix well.
-The final product should be a thick paste.

How to use it:
-Apply the mask to your face and let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
-Rinse in warm water then cold water to close up your pores.

This recipe will make about four masks. Pour the leftover mask into a Ziploc or container and put it in the fridge. The mask should be good for another three days.

This recipe is not only quick and easy, but the ingredients are also healthy and has many benefits for out skin. For instance, the cocoa is rich in antioxidant while lemon juice brightens and exfoliate our skin, ridding of the dead skin cells and yogurt can help clear out our skin and fight blemishes. This is only naming a few, but there are many many more to name.

I'd like to remind you that the skin on our faces are much, much more sensitive than the rest of our bodies. Before trying a new mask, make sure to give it a test on a small area on your hand or arm first. If you ever feel uncomfortable with the mask on, if it burns/stings, wash it off immediately.

I hope you enjoyed this little Sunday post. Take it easy. Remember tomorrow is Monday, which means another Manicure Monday will be up tomorrow. Please look forward to it.

As always, thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. :)
