The weather is heating up and that means summer is on the way! Get your skin ready for all the fun in the sun with these easy DIY masks. Made with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen, these masks will help to hydrate and brighten your skin for a natural glow. You want to experience the outdoors during the summer and exercise. Sunburn, breakouts, rashes, eczema flare-ups and other skin problems can get you frustrated. We have a solution.

1. Moisturizing mask for dull skin

As counterintuitive as it may seem, skin drying up from excess heat in the summer is a real thing. In fact, even unusually oily skin in the summer is a sign that your skin may be drying out. The way skin deals with the dryness is by producing sebum that makes your skin extra oily during summer. Excessive oil can attract dirt, pollutants, and goop to settle on the skin, blocking the skin pores. The result is an annoying episode of acne breakouts. The moral of the story is-moisturize your skin even during the summer. Here’s a moisturizing mask you can make at home that uses honey, banana and aloe vera gel.
