Quarantine Self-Care Routine: Easy DIY Face & Eye Masks To Wake Up Grumpy Skin

Were you up all night (again), watching TV series or playing video games, despite the fact you need to get up early for work? Or watched satisfying videos on YouTube or maybe took a quiz online to find out what kind of garlic bread you are?

Congratulations, you’re officially adulting now.

One of the ‘perks’ of being an adult is that constant feeling of being tired. Like you haven’t gotten a good night’s sleep in years. You feel tired all the time and your face reveals it all. And those bags under your eyes are definitely not Prada, hunny!

Don’t we all wish we could go back in time when we were young and carefree? Well, with these easy DIY’s you’ll come close!

You’ll need:

– 10 almonds

– 3 nutmegs

– 2 tbsp of Cuddapah almonds

– 1/2 tsp of saffron

– Curd

– Fresh aloe vera leaf

– Honey

– A bowl

Step 1: Crush all the dry fruits ( almonds, nutmegs and the Cuddapah almonds) to make a fine powder.

Step 2: Add saffron to it and keep the mixture in the fridge. This stays fresh for a couple of months. But it’s always best if you make it in smaller, weekly batches.

This dry, powdery mixture is perfect for all skin types and can be used by everyone. Now, according to your skin type, choose the next ingredient.

Dry skin: Curd, a few drops of honey.

Oily skin: Curd and two drops of lemon juice.

Sensitive skin: Curd, fresh aloe vera gel.

Step 3: Take a bowl, add one tbsp of the previously prepared mixture and add the ingredients, according to your skin type.

Step 4: Apply a thin layer on your face and wake up your skin, along with making it super happy!

Step 5: Wash after 15 minutes using just water. You can use this as a scrub to lightly exfoliate your skin too, although you might want to skip this step if you have sensitive and active acne on your face.

Wash your face with cold water as soon as you wake up and apply this mask while your laptop starts. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes. This will not only rejuvenate your skin instantly but will make your skin feel more alive and fresh with every use.
