4 diy moisturizing masks for winter

Fighting the harsh winter cold is definitely a challenge for all of us. Our whole skincare routine needs to be changed to more hydrating and soothing products which will give us that extra moisturizing boost. However, all this doesn’t mean that you have to spend a fortune on facial masks, serums, oils, and creams. Instead, why not try to make your own masks in the comfort of your own home?

This will save you many unnecessary trips to beauty stores as well as work wonders for your budget. To help you in this, we’ve created a list of 4 simple DIY moisturizing face mask for this winter. All you need for the preparation of these masks are ingredients that you probably already have in your fridge.

Preparing and applying DIY moisturizing masks is not only cheaper, but it can also be much more effective. What’s more, you will be absolutely sure that everything is natural and no chemicals or irritants touch your skin. Read on and choose your perfect winter mask!

4 Simple DIY Moisturizing Face Mask For This Winter

diy winter mask - oatmeal

  • Oatmeal Mask

Oat flakes have incredible hydrating properties and are amazing for moisturizing your skin in winter. In order to add an extra boost to this mask, we will use yogurt and honey – both of which can contribute to skin hydration. Yogurt has an abundance of calcium and lactic acid which can do wonders for your skin. At the same time, honey (preferably raw) has antibacterial properties and acts as food for your skin.

Ingredients for the Oatmeal Mask:

  • Oat flakes – 1 tablespoon
  • Yogurt – 1 ½ tablespoon
  • Honey – 1 teaspoon

Preparation: Mix 1 tablespoon of oat flakes with 1 and a half tablespoons of yogurt and mix well. Wait 2-3 minutes until the oats become a bit soft. Next, add 1 teaspoon of raw honey and mix all this together. Once the mask is ready, apply it to your face with a clean brush or your fingers and leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes.

This is a mask that doesn’t contain any harsh materials, so you can feel free to leave it on for longer if necessary. After this time has passed, wash the mask off your face with lukewarm water and gently pat-dry your face. Apply a good-quality moisturizer immediately after.

diy winter mask - avocado

  • Egg Yolk and Avocado Mask

Our second suggestion for a simple DIY face mask is an egg yolk and avocado mask. Avocado is full of healthy fats and oils which will deeply moisturize your skin, while the egg yolk will firm your skin and remove any blemishes or pigmentations you might have. To make this mask even more effective, it’s best to use raw honey which will bring extra benefits to your winter skin.

Ingredients for the Egg Yolk and Avocado Mask:

  • Avocado – 1 half
  • Raw honey – 2 tablespoons
  • Egg Yolk – 1

Preparation: The first thing you would need to do is whisk the egg yolk until you get it smooth and in a liquid form. Then, mash half an avocado with a fork or put it in a blender. Once you’ve formed a paste out of the avocado, add the whisked egg yolk and mix well. And finally, add 2 tablespoons of raw honey and mix again.

The whole mixture should be smooth and without any lumps. Apply the ready face mask on your face and leave it on for 30 to 40 minutes. Then, rinse off the mask with plain lukewarm water and moisturize your face like you normally would.

diy winter mask - aloe vera

  • Aloe Vera and Yogurt Mask

The lactic acid and lipids and lipids found in yogurt will perfectly complement the soothing and healing Aloe Vera gel. For the best results, we recommend that you also add a bit of honey to this mixture. Not only that raw honey will bring you hundreds of added benefits, but it will also make the whole mixture thicker so that it’s easier to apply and it doesn’t drop off your face. When it comes to the Aloe Vera gel, it’s best to use an organic and pure gel.

Ingredients for the Aloe Vera and Yogurt Mask:

  • Aloe Vera Gel – 1 teaspoon
  • Yogurt – 2 tablespoons
  • Raw honey – 1 tablespoon

Preparation: Mix all ingredients together either manually or with the help of a blender. Then, apply the mixture with a clean brush or sponge and leave it on for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how dehydrated your skin is.

If your skin is severely dry, leave the mask on for longer. After your desired time has passed, rinse off the mask with plain water and gently dry your skin. Your skin should feel much more refreshed and moisturized.

diy winter mask - strawberry

  • Strawberry and Lemon Mask

Our final suggestion for a DIY winter face mask is not only hydrating but can also help you fight that annoying winter redness. Strawberries are full of salicylic acid which is an incredible weapon for fighting acne and blackhead breakouts. The lemon in this mask has whitening properties. And finally, we will also add honey whose job will be to nourish and moisturize your skin.

Ingredients for the Strawberry and Lemon Mask:

  • Strawberries – 1 handful
  • Lemon juice – 2 tablespoons
  • Honey – 1 tablespoon

Preparation: Blend 1 handful of strawberries together with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of honey, until you reach a paste consistency. Use a clean brush to spread this mixture on your face and leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes.

Then, wash off the mask with lukewarm water and apply a good moisturizer while your face is still freshly washed. Like this, you will lock in moisture and achieve the best results.

Conclusion

Our list of 4 simple DIY moisturizing face mask for this winter is incredibly beneficial and easy to implement. As we’ve said before, everything you need for these masks is already in your fridge or pantry. So, instead of spending a fortune on expensive masks and serums, try our suggestions and tell us which mask you liked the most!
