The best time to apply a face mask is just before going to sleep, when your skin remains makeup free for at least six to eight hours. Also, try to apply the mask right after you’ve taken a bath or shower or after you’ve gently steamed your face so that your pores are open and ready for a healthy treat.
Here’s an all-natural mask that will make your skin look great: In a blender, purée one cup of fresh pineapple and one-half cup of fresh (slightly green) papaya. Put the pureed fruit in a bowl, and mix in two tablespoons of honey. Apply it to your just-washed face and neck, but not on the delicate area right around your eyes. Leave it on for five minutes—not more—and rinse with cool water.
This once-a-week natural alpha hydroxy facial can boost the production of collagen (making your face firmer), slough off dead skin cells, even out skin tone and make tiny lines less noticeable. The enzymes in pineapple (bromelain) and papaya (papain) do most of the work, while the honey acts as a natural antibiotic, gently healing blemishes.
