Fun DIY Face Masks To Keep Your Skin Hydrated This Summer

Dry skin can be an issue that lot’s of us face, especially during the hot summer months. That’s why it’s important to take the right steps to keep your skin Happy, Healthy, and Hydrated.

Here’s a few of my favorite DIY face masks that will cover those three H’s, leaving your skin feeling and looking great this summer!

  • Note: Before starting any of these DIY face masks, it’s important to open your pores so the mask can penetrate into your skin, leaving your face with all the best benefits! To do this, run a soft towel under warm water and press it onto your face until you feel like your pores have been opened. Then you can begin putting on whichever of these DIY face masks you choose. Have fun!

Cooling Cucumber And Aloe Vera Mask

It’s known that aloe vera is great for skin that has spent a little too much time under the sun. When combining aloe vera’s soothing and hydrating components with the cooling and cleansing powers of cucumbers, you get an excellent mask perfect for the summer!

Aloe vera is also great for reversing the effects of age, and the cucumber will leave your skin feeling very refreshed! All you will need for this face mask is:

  • 1 Cucumber
  • Organic Aloe Vera Gel (or your favorite type!)
  1. To begin, you will cut half of the cucumber into slices and then blend them together until watery. You can do this with a blender or even mashing them with a fork. Save a couple slices of cucumber to put over your eyes while you relax with the mask on your skin if you like!
  2. Next add 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel and mix until smooth.
  3. Leave this on your skin for about 30 minutes or until dry. Place some cucumber slices over your eyes if you like, and relax.
  4. Then rinse off with some cool water and pat your skin dry with your softest towel.
  5. Moisturize as usual to lock in that Happy, Healthy, and Hydrated skin!
