The Korean glass skin trend has taken over social media. After all, who doesn't dream of shiny, smooth and beautiful skin? Not everyone knows, but you don't have to spend a fortune to achieve it. Masks made from home products can help with this.
Beautiful and shiny skin. Just use these masks
Beautiful skin without dark circles under the eyes, imperfections and with uniform color is the dream of many people. Many people, however, think that achieving it involves buying drugstore cosmetics. This is not entirely true. You can successfully use simple, home-made products to complement the popular Korean glass skin trend. Our skin will be as smooth as a sheet of glass. However, it is important to remember to cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying the mask. It is also worth using a peeling to exfoliate dead skin, which will make it easier for our skin to absorb the necessary minerals.
One of the masks that will help us achieve flawless skin is the one made of green tea and rice water. It is perfect for combination, normal and oily skin. To prepare it we will need:
- two tablespoons of rice water
- a bag of green tea
- a spoonful of aloe gel
- a teaspoon of honey.
Pour rice water into a bowl and add a green tea bag. Leave for about 5 minutes. Add aloe gel and honey and mix everything thoroughly. Apply everything to your face and leave for 15 minutes. After this time, wash it off under running water.
Rice water has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The minerals contained in it influence the blood supply and elasticity of the skin. Thanks to inositol, it soothes and moisturizes the skin.
Green tea inhibits the overactivity of the sebaceous glands, thus preventing the formation of acne and other imperfections.
Homemade masks for glass skin effects. Forget about expensive cosmetics
Another way to achieve the glass skin effect is to use a homemade Korean rice mask. Thanks to it, we will get rid of the bacteria responsible for acne, which will significantly reduce its occurrence. What's more, this mask will beautifully brighten our complexion. To prepare it, we will only need three ingredients.
- 2 teaspoons of rice flour
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- 2 teaspoons of milk.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly and apply to the face. We should keep the mask on for about 15 minutes and then wash it off with cool water.
Another mask recipe will be to mix banana and oatmeal. They will not only moisturize, but also soothe and smooth. This mask will be incredibly gentle, so it is also perfect for sensitive skin. To make it we will need:
- 1 banana
- 2 tablespoons of ground oatmeal
- 0.5 teaspoon of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of honey
Crush the banana and add the remaining ingredients. Mix everything thoroughly until everything is combined. Set the mask aside for about 10 minutes until it thickens. Apply everything to your face and leave for 15 minutes. Wash the mask thoroughly under running water. Sheep will perfectly cleanse our skin and slightly exfoliate it. Honey will moisturize and have antibacterial properties, lemon juice will be an ideal source of vitamin C, and a banana rich in potassium will moisturize our skin.
