5 Home-Made Face Masks for Winter Skin Care …

Application of masks is one of the most ancient forms of beauty treatment all around the world.

In old times, women of nobility used to apply many exotic substances on their face skin in order to keep it smooth, silky and beautiful and protect from aging and elements.

In the North, traditional societies used animal and fish fats to shield their skin from cold and dry winter air.

Today, natural face masks are still popular among many women, especially those who avoid using toxic commercial products and prefer to nourish, cleanse, heal, and protect their skin with unadulterated, home-made remedies.

Read here more about our specially selected winter masks for busy modern women!

1. Avocado Mask

An avocado mask is perfect for dry skin that may become very irritated in the winter.

It is easy to make: mash the flesh of avocado with a fork, add a touch of extra-virgin olive oil, and apply this smooth, fragrant mixture onto your face.

This nourishing mask will supply your skin with a whole range of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and softening agents to fight winter dryness.

    what i do for black heads during the winter – get 1 egg white, and some lemon or a fresh lemon (works better with fresh lemon) beat the egg white and then squeeze in half ... See more of the lemon and it works fantastic!
    but during the winter time don’t do this too many times in one week it will really dry your skin out – i would say maybe 2 times a week

      Lisa, here are some solutions I found online.
      – Make a face mask of Black gram- 10 tsp ground to a paste mixed with 2 tsp tomato juice and 2 tsp curd. Heat it ... See more on a low flame for 2-3 min. Then cool and leave on your face for 10-15 minutes before washing it off.
      - Exfoliate regularly.
      - Bleaching creams (although I would avoid them altogether)

      to Munaza:

      The dark spots on your forehead must be the results of sun damage. Unfortunately there’s no remedy for that. Many beauticians say that chemical peels will make it less visible ... See more – but that’s pretty much all that would do – make it LESS visible. I heard from a homeopathic doctor that these sun damage spots appear on the skin only if you have liver problems (that explains why other people don’t get them even with constant sun exposure).

      So, perhaps, you might want to find a homeopathic doctor in your area who will be able to diagnose you and tell you what natural remedies you should start taking in order to get your liver back to normal. That’s what I am doing now and as far as I can see – the brown spots started to fade without any chemical peels. The same goes for the dark circles. If you get an 8 hour sleep each night and you go to bed before midnight, your dark circles would just disappear in a couple of weeks- if not, it might be a sign of an internal problem – most common thing is toxins and you might be in need of a powerful body detox.

      But again, you need to see a homeopathic doctor to start any kind of treatment that’ll help you get rid of these problems.

      Good luck to you, Munaza!

    I purchased the ANTIOXIDANT Berry Masque (from the Lady Soma brand) after doing ALOT of research on the ingredients. Use on face, chest and hands. The first application was not dramatic as far as results ... See more go; but I use daily and the results are fantastic.

    It took me about a week to get the impressive results. I have very dry skin. My serums and creams were not penetrating into my skin to give me a hydrated look. Now I can easiy tell when the serums and creams are penetrating. My skin is much more even in color, hydrated, healthy looking. I apply the mask work into my skin for a few seconds and leave on for 15 minutes.

    That took over a week to change, but wow I can wear lower cut tops now and my skin is radiant! I have stocked up on this product, I never want to run out. Finally a product line that works!
