*Introspection Time*

How much in a month do you approximately spend on your costly beauty regime? Well, I am already assuming costly because very obviously, it is so. You might have run out of easy numbers to reach the whopping amount expended.

But here’s the deal. You can resort to best face masks at home and get the glow you wish for with ease. Take the guide:

Face Mask For Sunburn

Aloe Vera, Yoghurt and Cucumber- the three excellent summer ingredients to kick away all the heat. Mix equal parts of these three ingredients to cool down the sunburn and bring relief to the skin when you are feeling red and irritated from heat.

The Antioxidant Face Mask

Apply half tsp of anardana powder with one tsp of oatmeal mixed with 1 tsp of honey and buttermilk for 10 minutes and then scrub a little before you rinse. This will correct dark patches from the skin and improve the texture.

The Balancing Face Mask

Here comes the egg to your rescue. If you need a face mask for dry skin, separate the egg and beat the yolk for the best hydrating face mask. For oily skin, use the egg white, honey and lemon and apply on face. For normal skin, whip up the entire beaten egg and apply on face for 30 minutes before rinsing it off.

Exfoliating Face Mask

Mix almond meal and aloe vera into a thick paste and apply on the face and neck in circular clock wise and anti clock wise motion. It cures redness and irritation and works as a gentle exfoliant.

Anti Aging Face Mask

Mix 1 tsp of wine and 1 tsp of milk and massage the face for around 15 minutes and then rinse off to get a glowing, healthy look. This is one effective face mask to have a wrinkle free look.

Blemish Free Face Mask

Make a smooth paste of papaya and honey and apply on face and neck. Blend well and scrub off after it dries out partially. You can also use besan with the mixture whic would act as a natural exfoliant. Besides, honey is known to lighten scars, papaya contains anti-ageing properties, anti bacterial properties.

Anti Acne Cleanser

Well, not exactly a face mask but this is one of the best remedies for acne free skin. Take a couple of grapes and slice them into half. Now, rub them over your face and neck followed by a cool water rinse for an easy facial cleanser.

So, which one are you trying?

Among all the skin types oily skin is most dramatic, whenever you are applying makeup it is not lasting for a long time and after sometime it started looking even worse.

So, ladies you need to be little bit careful and have to keep some tips in mind before apply makeup and here we go..:)

1. Apply Primer First

Primer is a base and interface between your skin and makeup. So, before you are applying any makeup you need to apply primer first as a base so that your makeup should last for a long time and your oily skin should not ruin your makeup. But, before applying any primer you need to clean your face and neck properly.

2. Find A Right Foundation

Find a perfect foundation for your oily skin as most of the foundations are melting quickly and it requires you to apply compact constantly. For oily skin, water based foundation or mousse foundation is better. Try to use foundation in matte finish so that your makeup would not look over.

3. Use A Powder

After you are done with foundation it’s time for a correct powder to set the foundation for a longer time. You can use loose powder or compact powder, both works good but my preference is on loose powder as it soaks more oil.

4. Opt for Matte Blush

Without a blush your makeup is incomplete but for oily skin it is bit problematic. Always try to use matte blush instead of shimmer blush.

5. Choose an Oil-Free Makeup Remover

So, make sure that you clean your skin with an oil-free cleanser and toner before applying makeup.

Don’t disappoint if you have oily skin – people with oily skin remain youthful for a long time.
