SAEDNEWS: Women in Korea and East Asia have beautiful, clear skin, which is undoubtedly achievable through natural ingredients and homemade masks. Here are several simple homemade masks for achieving glowing skin.
According to SAEDNEWS, "For skincare, proper nutrition is essential!" If you're looking for the best secrets of Asian skincare to treat dark spots caused by acne or sunburn, you should turn to natural remedies. Dark spots are often swollen and bruised, which is why they lower self-confidence in women. Don’t worry; the solution is around you. Mint, used for skincare, is nothing new in Asian countries.
First, obtain fresh mint leaves and crush them into a paste. Apply this mask to your face, and while you wait for 15 minutes, you can do other activities. Afterward, rinse the mask off with clean water. Use this remedy daily, and you’ll clearly see the results. However, if your skin is sensitive, test the mask on your hands before applying it to your face.
Using rice water for skin cleansing makes the skin softer, as long as you follow the correct procedure. First, to obtain rice water, take half a cup of rice (jasmine, brown, short-grain white, or long-grain white) and two cups of water. Wash the rice in a cup of water to remove any dirt. Then place the rice and water mixture in a covered bowl and soak it for 10-15 minutes. Swirl the rice or gently rub it until the water becomes cloudy. This process allows all the nutrients, like minerals and vitamins, from the rice to enter the water, creating a nourishing solution for your skin.
For an alternative method, you can boil the rice with more water than usual. Once the rice begins cooking, you should collect the water. The rice water will be somewhat thick, so you may need to dilute it with some regular water to achieve the desired consistency. Store the rice water in the refrigerator, and shake it before use. To cleanse your skin, gently massage the rice water onto your face so it can absorb into the skin.
Coffee is very effective at reducing puffiness and dark circles under your eyes and brightening your skin overall. Here’s how you can make a coffee face mask:
- ½ cup coffee
- ½ cup organic cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup unsweetened milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
In a bowl, mix the coffee with cocoa powder. Then add the milk and stir until the mixture becomes smooth. If you want a thicker mixture, use less milk. Next, add honey and lemon juice. Your mask is ready! Apply it to your skin and let it dry. After 20 minutes, wash it off with regular water. For better results, massage the mask into your skin for 1-2 minutes in a circular motion. For dark areas under your eyes, mix the coffee with milk or olive oil and gently massage it onto those areas.
This mask is a moisturizer, nourisher, and skin softener. To make it, combine one teaspoon of matcha green tea powder with one teaspoon of raw honey. Apply this mask to your face and neck and massage in a circular motion. After 10-15 minutes, rinse it off with warm water and a wet cloth.
You need one teaspoon of fresh or canned pumpkin, half a teaspoon of clay powder, one teaspoon of raw honey, and a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon powder. Mix all these ingredients together, then apply the mixture to your face. After 5 minutes, remove the mask with warm water and a wet cloth.
You can make a toner using apple cider vinegar. The smell is not a big issue. If you want healthy, acne-free skin, apply this mask daily to your face.
For this mask, all you need is one raw egg white and one tablespoon of honey. Mix them well in a blender. Apply the mixture to your face, and wash it off with warm water afterward. You can use this mask at night before going to bed.
Massaging ice cubes on your face can make your skin firmer and even slimmer. The exact effects are unclear, but it’s effective enough to stimulate your skin. Just make sure the ice is clean before applying it.
Massage is also a very important step in keeping the face youthful for a long time. One of the simplest ways to do this is by gently rubbing your face with a towel soaked in lukewarm water. This helps maintain the skin's flexibility, even at older ages.
