Nourishing and Moisturizing Mask

What are Nourishing and Moisturizing Masks?




The main purpose of these  is to moisturize and nourish the skin. Almost the direct opposite of cleansing masks, these masks never dry completely on the skin. They are rich, soft and creamy and are meant to saturate your skin with moisture. These masks can safely be used twice a week and are particularly useful for mature, dry to wrinkled skin. They give a refreshing and luxurious feeling.

Oatmeal makes a good moisturizing pack. Oatmeal is very close to the earth because it is made from one of our basic food ingredients-oats. Besides being a staple food, oatmeal has marvelous properties as a facial beauty treatment. It is rich in vitamin E, reputed to be an anti-ageing factor. An oatmeal mask supplies more vitamin E than any other facial cream, so is worth trying.

Brewer’s yeast is another excellent moisturizing and nourishing mask. This is particularly good for dry, ageing or wrinkled skin. It stimulates and rejuvenates the skin. To make an invigorating mask, mix with warm water to make a smooth paste. Pat it on firmly with finger tips. Relax for fifteen minutes and rinse off with warm water.

Brewer’s yeast nourishes and stimulates the pores. It also helps to protect you from inflammation such as eczema and dermatitis. It gives you the same feeling as a brisk walk in the fresh air, glowing cheeks and a lovely skin tone.

Dark circles around your eyes. How unsightly they look and even your best dress and layers of make-up sometimes does not quite succeed in concealing them! Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion.

Though it may take time, perceptions are slowly changing as people are beginning to realize its tremendous benefits. Coconuts and coconut oil have always been a part of the cuisine in tropical countries like India (South) and Sri Lanka and even today coconut is indispensable in their diet. For now, let’s leave aside the health benefits and focus our attention on the beauty uses of this wonderful oil. South Indian women swear by it.

Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes.
