5 DIY natural face mask for glowing skin

Store-bought face masks are not just expensive but are also loaded with harsh chemicals like parabens, SLS, fragrance & phthalates to name a few, these ingredients are very common in skincare products, even the so-called natural brands' face masks have questionable ingredients in them, which may make your skin look healthy and glowing for a while but they are extremely dangerous and can even cause pre-mature ageing in the long run. Thankfully you can always look up to natural ingredients to take care of your skin with a little DIY which are not only good for your skin but is also good for your pocket, so here are some of my favorite DIY face masks that I love.

It promotes collagen production, helps fight sun damage, reduces inflammation and hydrates the skin. For this face mask all you need is a banana, simply mash a banana into a smooth paste and apply an even layer of it on a clean face, leave it on for 15-20 minutes and then rinse it off with plain water, that's it, this face mask will leave you with glowing & healthier looking skin, Do try this face mask and enjoy the glow.
