Two Super Simple DIY Face Mask with Tomato & Cucumber for Clear Skin

Our Face Skin is very sensitive and requires a lot of care, no matter what age we are in. Not only the women, even the men need to take care of their faces.

As teenagers, the acne & pimples trouble us. I had loads of acne and I still remember those sleepless nights I had because of the pimples.😰😪 As we grow older, our skin gets more sensitive and therefore demands much more attention & care. If we leave the skin unattended, it can result in many skin issues like acne, pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, blemishes, dark spots, wrinkles and sagging.

Face care is much more than just washing it every day. It requires constant care and nourishment. Regular skin care can slow down the harmful effects of time and environment, and help us to age gracefully.

Skin requires cleansing and toning which means cleaning the dirt & dead cells, reducing the skin pore size and removal of black/ whiteheads.

So what can we do to take care of our face skin, besides washing it twice daily?

The least we can do for our face is to wash it twice daily and then moisturize it. You can use any good quality face wash and a moisturizer to do it. But that is really not enough. Besides cleaning, you need to also scrub your face and apply a face mask, at least two times a week.

I have already told you about an amazing DIY Lemon Sugar Scrub, which can be used as both face and body scrub. It is an excellent face scrub and its usage will help you get rid of the acne and pimples almost overnight. 😁😎

For the DIY Face Mask, I am going to talk about not just one but two masks – The first with tomato and the second with cucumber.

First DIY Face Mask with Tomato

Step 1: Wash your face well and dry it. 

Step 2: Take a medium sized Tomato and grate it.

Step 3: Take the grated tomato in the fingers of both your hands & gently apply it all over your face & neck.

Step 4: Massage the face in circular motions for 2-4 minutes.

Step 5: Allow the tomato mask to rest on your face for 10 minutes or until it dries.

Step 6: Wash with tap water & pat dry.

Step 7: Apply an ice cube on the face for a minute.

Advantages of Tomato Mask:

Tomato contains substances that kill the bacteria which enable the spread of acne & pimples. It also repairs the skin and keeps the skin hydrated, hence retains the natural moisture of the skin. Tomatoes assist in removal of suntan as well.

Tomato is also a natural bleaching agent and so it helps to reduce skin pigmentation as well, making the skin tone even and fair. Tomatoes also increase skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles.

First DIY Face Mask with Cucumber

Step 1: Wash your face well and dry it. 

Step 2: Take half a cucumber and grate it.

Step 3: Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice to it & mix well.

Step 4: Take the mix in the fingers of both your hands and gently apply it all over your face &neck.

Step 4: Massage the face in circular motions for 2-4 minutes.

Step 5: Allow the mask to rest on your face for 7-8 minutes, or until it dries.

Step 6: Wash with tap water & pat dry.

Step 7: Apply rose water to your face.

Advantages of Cucumber Mask:

Cucumber is an excellent cooling agent. It adds a glow to the face by rejuvenating the skin. It reduces tanning and treats blemishes. Cucumber (no lemon) can provide instant relief if used over sunburnt affected areas.

Cucumber for treating Eyes

You can cut 2 thin slices of cucumber and place them over your eyes to reduce the dark circles, swelling, and puffiness around the eyes if any.

Cucumber as toner

You can even take out the cucumber juice and use it as a natural skin toner, just spray in the morning before applying your sunscreen

A Few tips on both the masks:

• Do note that both the above masks can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
• They are natural and have no side effects and therefore can be used daily as well.
• The masks can be used by both men and women.
