Would you like skin like milk and honey? Cleopatra already knew the secrets of fresh, firm and healthy looking skin thousands of years ago. She used milk and honey to care for her extraordinarily youthful skin. Natural products are still an optimal choice today and are also inexpensive. You probably have most of the things you need at home.
A prerequisite for smooth facial skin
There are three things you should keep in mind to take care of your skin. Morning and evening cleansing is important to remove dirt and prepare the skin for care. This is followed by a care cream or care oil that suits your skin type. Once a week you should treat your skin to a spa treatment, i.e. a face mask. These home remedies for cleaning and care are an ideal way to deepen your understanding of the general home remedies for beautiful and healthy skin.
The cleansing of the skin
In drugstores and online there are tons of cleansing products for smooth facial skin. From cheap to expensive, there should be something for every taste and budget. You can save on these processed products and use natural products that you already have at home.
For your daily cleansing lotion, use milk or buttermilk morning and night. If you like, you can add a few drops of fruit juice. Fruit acid has a tightening effect; Apricots in particular help to reduce wrinkles and tighten. However, if you prefer to wash your face with water, simply add a little milk to the water.
Natural tonic for smooth skin
After cleaning your face, you can also use a homemade tonic. Various products can be used as a basis for this. We have summarized three tried and tested recipes for you below:
1) Face tonic with chamomile tea
Prepare a strong tea from the soothing home remedy chamomile blossoms or from arnica, dandelion or marigold blossoms. You put this on a cotton ball and can cleanse your face after basic cleaning (e.g. with milk). All four plants naturally contribute to wrinkle-free, rosy skin. If you have irritated skin, you can add some aloe vera juice.
2) Cucumber Facial Toner
Tomato juice or cucumber juice also help to tighten, smooth and beautiful facial skin. Cucumber consists mainly of water and is therefore extremely moisturizing. You can simply puree the cucumber with some lemon juice and apply it to your face. When the cucumber comes fresh from the fridge, it also has a cooling effect and ensures a fresh start to the day! Also note further tips for effective facial care.
3) Tomato Tonic
Even if you want to use tomatoes for your face mask, you can simply puree them. Since the tomato already has a lot of acid, you don’t need to add lemon juice. A tablespoon of honey, on the other hand, completes the tomato tonic, as it counteracts the acidity of the tomato a little and also has an antibacterial effect. This facial toner is therefore particularly suitable for impure skin. We have also collected DIY masks specifically for impure skin on our site.
DIY face masks for smooth facial skin
All masks are used once a week, applied with the fingers or a brush to the cleansed skin of the face, neck and décolleté and rinsed off with lukewarm water after 15-30 minutes. For example, you can leave the mask on during a relaxing warm bath.
1) Face mask with (walnut) oil
Scientific tests have shown that the linolenic acid contained in walnut oil is able to smooth out wrinkles and tighten the skin. Due to its high vitamin E content, wheat germ oil has the same firming and regenerating effect. Pure olive oil also helps with creases. All oils can be used for face care or face massage, as well as in face masks.
In southern and Arab countries, women have been using pure, cold-pressed olive oil mixed with egg yolk for centuries to care for their hands and face. Add two to three tablespoons of quark or yoghurt, because milk proteins also smooth the skin.
2) Egg yolk mask
Eggs can also help you smooth your facial skin. For an egg yolk mask, mix an egg yolk with a few drops of lemon juice and pure almond oil (alternatively cream). This nourishing mask will refine the pores while preventing the formation of wrinkles.
3) Mask with fresh cucumbers
The cucumber mask is particularly firming: the easiest way is to place freshly cut cucumber slices directly on your face. You’ll be amazed at how beautifully it tightens! Similar to the cucumber tonic, the cucumber is so moisturizing and provides a cooling effect. Alternatively, cucumber juice can be mixed with an egg white and a tablespoon of cream and 2-3 drops of aromatic oil (lavender, rose, geranium).
4) Oatmeal for smooth skin
For a firming and regenerating mask with oatmeal, boil 3-5 spoonfuls of oatmeal with a little milk. The still lukewarm oatmeal is applied to the face. The warm, soft mass opens the pores and impurities can come out of the skin’s surface. If the oat flakes are still slightly firm in places, you can also create a peeling effect by rubbing in the mask. This can, among other things, also help you with large-pored skin.
5) honey mask
The tried and tested honey also has a tightening effect: Mix 2-3 tablespoons of honey with a drop of lemon juice and apply this mass to the skin of your face with your fingertips or a brush. The acid in the lemon has a clarifying effect and the honey has an antibacterial effect. This mask is also great as a lip mask for soft lips.
