Ayurvedic Face Masks ? Winter Care Tips For Dry Skin

Papaya & Lemon Moisturizer:

Papaya has amazing health and beauty benefits. It is loaded with vitamins A, C, E and K all of which make your skin really soft and supple. It is also a good source of antioxidants. Also, it has a buttery consistency which makes it easy to use. Mash a ripe papaya and squeeze the juice of half a lemon in it and mix well. Apply this to your face and arms for 15 minutes and wash off with lukewarm water to get glowing and moisturized skin.

Hibiscus, Honey & Coconut Oil Anti-Ageing Mask:

Hibiscus flower (gudhal) contains natural Alpha-hydroxy Acids (AHA) which makes the skin fresh and improves flexibility, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the botox plant. Boil a hibiscus flower in 2 cups of water until about half a cup remains. Now add honey and coconut oil to the mixture and apply on face and neck. Wash off with lukewarm water after 10-15 minutes. This mixture is a great moisturizer & exfoliator which leaves your skin supple, fresh and bright.

Orange-Yogurt Peel off Mask:

To half a cup of yogurt add 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice and make a fine paste. Use this as a mask on your face, neck and arms for 20 minutes and wash off with lukewarm water. This has mild bleaching effect which will peel off dead cells, dirt & sebum giving you a radiant skin. Orange juice also tones your skin and removes blemishes.

After applying these masks apply a gentle cream. Jiva Skin Toner and Saffron Cream are two Ayurvedic products that tones the skin and brightens your complexion.
