Detox Your Beauty Regime with These DIY Food Based Masks

It’s food detox week which ties in beautifully with our detox month. In light of this we’ve devised these easy to make at home DIY face masks which will help you detox your skin and your beauty regime all in one go. And, if a little bit goes astray and ends up in your mouth, it’s actually good for you too!

Get Your Glow On Turmeric Face Mask

The ingredients in this mask work in so many ways to bring you your best skin yet. Natural yoghurt is great for targeting acne, blemishes and breakouts. Ground oats are good for conditioning the skin and soothing any inflammation and irritation. Manuka honey is not only antibacterial but also moisturising. Last but not least, turmeric is a wonder ingredient; rich in antioxidants to prevent and repair cell damage; a power anti-inflammatory so may be useful for treating acne and dry skin conditions; reduces pigmentation and evens out skin tone.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons natural yoghurt

2 tablespoons ground oats

1 teaspoon manuka honey

10 drops Nature’s Answer Liquid Turmeric-3

Method

To make could not be simple: put all ingredients in a jar and mix well. If your mask is too watery add more flour, too thick add more yoghurt. Apply to clean and dry face, leave for 20 minutes then rinse thoroughly. Follow with your regular moisturising routine and bask in your new found glow.

Wonderful Wheat Grass Face Scrub Mask

Wheat Grass is a powerful detoxifying ingredient, full of antioxidants and nutrients for the skin. Olive oil is a great moisturiser for the skin and if you read the last mask you’ll know that manuka honey is also moisturising as well as antibacterial.

Ingredients

50ml olive oil

1 tablespoon honey

1 scoop Amazing Grass Wheat Grass

Method

Another easy recipe for you to create at home: simply place olive oil in a bowl, add honey and mix well before adding the Amazing Grass Wheat Grass. Apply to face and leave on for 15-20 minutes then begin to make gentle circular motions on your skin, feeling the soft exfoliating properties of the wheat grass powder. Rinse away the remains of the mask to reveal clean and soft skin.

Avocado, Chocolate & Coconut Oil Face Mask

This face mask is deeply moisturising! The oils in avocados are full of EFAs to help skin reach its very best health. Coconut oil is moisturising and has antibacterial properties. Raw cacao powder is packed full of antioxidants to help reduce the signs of ageing.

Ingredients
