Homemade facial mask recipes -- things to be aware of --
There are a few things you should consider before you use any homemade facial mask recipe
When you are going to treat yourself to a homemade facial mask or any other homemade skin care product you have to know one thing: What skin type do I have? Do I have dry skin, normal skin, oily skin, combination or even sensitive skin? This is important to know to decide which ingredients to use
You should also be aware that "all natural" does not immediately mean allergy free or totally danger free. Some people can be allergic to the most natural ingredients on earth. While misusing some natural ingredients can also have an opposite or harmful effect
There are two things to be extra aware of:
Citric acid
A lot of fruits contain citric acid. Lemon, lime and orange (juice) in specific. When you use them in a facial mask or any skin treatment always be careful with how much you use. Too much can cause acid burns. Also if you have sensitive skin be extra aware with these ingredients
Alcohol
When you use alcohol on your already dry skin it dries your skin out even more. If you have oily skin alcohol sucks the moisture right out of your skin, this in turn primes your pores to pump out twice as much oil. On sensitive skin it can also cause dryness possibly followed by irritation
Get to know your skin and beware of how much alcohol, or any other ingredient for that matter, you use on it
Our best advice is to use alcohol on your skin in moderation
So be careful with the ingredients you use in your home made facial masks. And if you're not sure about the whole mask or a specific ingredient do a patch test on a small part of skin i.e. behind your ear and wait 20 minutes to see how your body reacts. Talk to an aesthetician or dermatologist if you think your skin is especially sensitive
