3 WAYS TO MAKE A FACE MASK AT HOME

Why use a face mask every day?

Is it true that you can create a beautiful and radiant complexion with cosmetics alone? Definitely not. I truly believe that our face mirrors our everyday life, our worries, our joy, and especially when we are healthy and happy, you can really see it. It's not for nothing that they say about happy people - "You glow!".

But of course, a natural glow also comes from basic daily skin care. For example, one of the basic conditions for healthy skin is regular cleansing and moisturising. But it's important to remember that from time to time, the skin needs deep hydration - a 'bomb' of vitamins and antioxidants to help make up for the deficiencies in our daily routine.

This is especially true now, as extra skin care is particularly important with the onset of the heating season. A deeply moisturising and nourishing face mask can help you protect your skin from dryness and other signs of dehydration. By choosing a face mask that suits your skin type and its characteristics, you can reduce certain skin imperfections. For example, to prevent shine caused by oily skin, to reduce redness in dry skin or simply to give your skin a natural glow.

Why choose a vegan face mask?

Although the shelves are full of face masks to suit every skin type, it's worth taking a closer look at the ingredients. The chemicals used in the manufacturing process can cause allergies or irritate your skin.

In addition, if you are a vegan or want to ensure that your skin care does not harm the health of the environment or animals, it is worth looking at eco-friendly alternatives. Because these solutions will also provide your skin with the nutrients it needs in the right combinations and doses for your skin type.

And by the way, if you want to use natural as well as vegan cosmetics in your daily routine, the good news is that you can make some products at home if you want to, including face masks and scrubs, for example. Since these skincare products should not be used every day, you can organise your own facial spa from time to time with minimal effort. Not only will you feel good about what you've done for yourself, but you'll also gain confidence in the ingredients of these skincare products. This, in turn, will also help you avoid unwanted skin reactions
