3 DIY Summer Masks To Give You The Perfect Glowing Skin in 5 Minutes

Come summer, you want to hit the beaches, run along the coast, take out your surfboards or take a hike to the mountains. Though if you are particular about the health and appearance of your skin, the challenge can be, how to deal with sunburn, breakouts, rashes, eczema flare-ups, pigmentation, or skin dullness and fatigue-without endless trips to the dermatolegist. The solution seems to be already available in nature. In fact, it is right in your kitchen cabinet! Here we share a list of 5-minute DIY face masks that use ingredients right from your kitchen, to help you deal with all the summer ills for the skin and give you a well-moisturized, glowing, soothing, and happy skin with no signs of puffiness.

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.
