Types of homemade aloe vera face masks

When making homemade face masks, it is very important to choose ingredients that are beneficial for your skin type; for example, sweet almond oil is very suitable for dry skin and green clay for oily skin.

Here are some face masks suitable for all skin types.

Masks with aloe vera for dry skin

Dry skin feels tight and is more prone to premature wrinkles. That is why it is very important to take care of it from a young age. A good way to do this is with the help of face masks.

Mask with aloe, honey and oil

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon of Finca Canarias pure aloe vera gel
11 tablespoon of honey
15 drops of sweet almond oil
15 drops of coconut oil

Method of preparation:

Pour the aloe vera gel into a bowl and add the honey. Stir well.
Add the oils and stir again until all the ingredients are well mixed.
If you prefer, substitute other oils such as olive oil or rosehip oil, for example, for sweet almond oil and coconut oil. Combining them is also a good option.

1 tablespoon of Finca Canarias pure aloe vera gel
1 tablespoon of honey

Masks with aloe vera for oily skin

Oily skin is prone to acne in youth and to blackheads and scars throughout life. With the help of homemade masks with aloe vera, you can control excess oil effectively.

Mask with aloe, lemon and egg white

2 tablespoons Finca Canarias pure aloe vera gel
1 tablespoon green clay

Method of preparation:

Put the aloe vera and clay in a bowl and stir well until a lump-free paste is formed. If it is too thick, add a few drops of water.

Masks with aloe vera for sensitive skin

Sensitive skin is very delicate and tends to become irritated and reddened, which is why it is important to take special care of it. A good way to do this is with the help of natural face masks that contain no harsh ingredients.

Aloe vera, chamomile and cucumber face mask

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon of Finca Canarias pure aloe vera gel
5 drops of chamomile essential oil
Half a cucumber

Method of preparation:

Grate the cucumber (with its skin). You can slice the cucumber and apply the slices after putting the mask on your face in the most sensitive areas such as the cheeks.
Put the aloe gel and chamomile oil in a bowl and mix.
Add the grated cucumber and stir again.

Aloe vera, avocado and grape face mask

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon of Finca Canarias pure aloe vera gel
Half an avocado
2-3 grapes

Method of preparation:

Remove the skin and pips from the grapes. Cut the grapes into small pieces and crush well.
Remove the skin from half an avocado and mash it with a fork in a bowl.
Mash the grapes and half an avocado again.
Add the aloe vera gel and stir well.

Important! This mask should be used as soon as it is prepared to prevent the avocado from oxidising.

How to apply masks

When applying face masks, there are a number of simple steps to follow and tips to keep in mind. First of all, let's take a look at the steps to follow for the expected result:

Exfoliate your face with a product suitable for your skin type. For sensitive skin, for example, you should always opt for an extremely gentle one.
Apply a good layer of the mask with a make-up brush, a spatula or freshly washed hands. There are also tissue masks on the market for applying the desired product, which adapt very well to the face.
Leave to act for about 20 minutes. For greater effect, sleep on your back all night with the mask on.
Remove the mask with a cotton pad and cleanse with plenty of cool water. Dry your face with a clean towel.
After the mask, you should apply the rest of the beauty products you usually use. At Finca Canarias, we recommend our products with aloe vera and natural ingredients to obtain the best results. The order we recommend is as follows: tonic, serum, eye contour and moisturiser specific for your skin. These steps are key to maintaining a healthy and well cared for skin.

Secondly, here are 2 tips to keep in mind when using homemade face masks:

For the mask to give the desired results, it should be applied once or twice a week. And for immediate results, apply on the day of that special event.
It is important to use freshly made masks so that the face receives all the active ingredients from the fresh, quality ingredients.

As you can see, face masks with aloe vera are an excellent option to take care of your face naturally and effectively. At Finca Canarias, we recommend having them regularly to enjoy a visible improvement in the appearance of your skin in the medium and long term. Take advantage of the properties of aloe vera in face masks if you want to maintain healthy, radiant skin. Caring for your face has never been easier.
