Everyone sometimes has a ‘bad skin day’. Even if your complexion is more or less even, you don’t have acne or very oily or dry skin, eventually you wake up some day and look like you didn’t sleep a second.

You don’t know why. You don’t know how. All you know is – your skin needs help ASAP.

If your face looks grey, tired and worn out, kind of dull and dehydrated, this DIY aloe vera and honey mask is just what you need to make it healthy and radiant again. You can make it in under 5 minutes and practically at no cost. It is a perfect quick fix that will restore and replenish your skin in no time.

Here’s how this amazing aloe vera and honey mask can help your skin and why you should be using it all the time:
Aloe vera and honey face mask can benefit your skin in many ways. Both of the ingredients are famous for their healing and regenerating effect to the skin. Both aloe vera and honey are suitable for all skin types. And they can both give you the skin you dream of.

Aloe vera gel provides lots of moisture, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It can soothe all sorts of skin irritations, fade acne marks and dark spots and give you an even, youthful complexion. This gel replenishes the skin and makes it plump and supple.

Honey is one of the most soothing and healing ingredients you can find. It is a natural humectant that moisturizes your skin without making it oily. Honey purifies the skin and noticeably reduces skin imperfections. It prevents premature aging signs and gives you a bright, dewy glow.

ALOE VERA AND HONEY MASK RECIPE
Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel
• 1 tablespoon honey

Direction:

1. When making DIY beauty products with aloe vera gel, it is always best to use freshly extracted gel. You can also buy aloe vera gel online. Just try to get as pure gel as you can (no artificial scents and colors).
2. It is also important to use raw, organic honey that, unlike processed honey, won’t irritate your skin. And if you have Manuka honey, definitely use that one – it has amazing soothing, healing and protective effects to the skin.
3. To make this aloe vera and honey mask, all you have to do is mix both the ingredients well together. If you want, you can also add some ingredient suitable for your skin type from the list down below. But you can just use aloe vera and honey on their own – they make one of the best skincare treatments you can find.
4. Once you get a smooth paste, wash your face using a gentle face cleanser and warm water. Apply a thin layer of the mask; you can reapply later, as your skin starts to absorb the mask.
5. Leave the mask on for 20 – 30 minutes, then rinse off well. Apply your face moisturizer while your skin is still damp, to lock in the moisture.
