How to Make Herbal Facial Masks

Natural-Clay and Mint Face Mask for Oily and Acne-prone Skin

Natural clay such as Fuller’s earth or French Clay powder is very effective in cleansing oily skin. Natural clay helps draw out dirt, grime and impurities from the skin and reduces excess oil secretion. We are also using fresh mint in this herbal face mask since this herb has potent anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties that can prevent the onset of acne and pimples.

Mint also acts as a natural astringent and maintains the pH balance of the skin. Mint is thus a very potent natural herb in treating and managing oily and acne-prone skin. To make this herbal face mask, take water in a pot and bring it to boil. Once the water comes to a boil, add the fresh mint leaves. Ensure you wash the mint leaves thoroughly before using it to make the herbal pack.

Let the mint leaves simmer in the boiling water for 5 minutes. Then, remove from stove and allow the herb-infused water to cool. Let the mint leaves remain in the water for a few minutes so that the beneficial properties of mint get absorbed in the water. After, strain and keep the herbal water aside.

Take 2 spoons fuller’s earth or French clay powder in bowl and then add the mint-infused herbal water to make a thick paste. Apply this face pack all over face and let it remain for 10-15 minutes. Rinse using lukewarm water. Oily skin will look fresh and glowing after this face pack.

Anti-Ageing Green Tea and Yoghurt Facial Mask

Green tea is known world-wide for its powerful anti-oxidant properties that can fight the damage caused to skin cells by free radicals in the body. Green tea is thus a potent natural ingredient that can fight ageing signs such as wrinkles and fine-lines. We are using yoghurt as base for this face mask.

Yoghurt nourishes and moisturizes the skin deeply making it look soft, supple and glowing. To make this herbal face mask, use fresh green tea leaves if you can find them. Green tea bags can be substituted for fresh green tea leaves.

Take water in a bowl and bring to a boil. Add the green tea bag or green tea leaves to the boiling water. Let the green tea leaves remain in the water for some time. Strain and then add few spoons of this green tea water to plain yoghurt. Apply this anti-ageing herbal mask all over face and neck. Use this herbal face pack regularly to counter wrinkles and age spots.
