No matter our age, most of us want to achieve and maintain a brighter, radiant complexion but this goal can be a challenge over time. Our skin cells begin to turn over at a slower rate as we grow older and the cells won’t shed fast enough as they sit atop of our skin surface that caused a dull appearance.
Why go to an expensive facial spa when you can brighten your skin at home? It may be a bit hard to admit but stress, elements, and free-radicals deteriorate your skin and darken it.
As a result, your makeup doesn’t look or feel right anymore. Because of your tight schedule, you cannot possibly spare some time to have a skin brightening treatment at a spa.
To help you regain your vibrant, youthful glow, a quick ten-minute, skin brightening mask in the comfort of your home is just what you need.
Here are the Amazing Ingredients:
Ingredient 1
Turmeric
Turmeric. This spice doesn’t just add flavor to your dishes. It also does the following for your skin:
- It lessens the production of melanin. Melanin is the skin pigment. If its production is excessive, then your skin becomes darker.
- It delays aging. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help restore your skin’s youthful glow. It also minimizes wrinkles, dark spots, and fine lines.
- It protects your skin from sun damage. Excessive exposure to UVB rays causes thickening of the skin, discoloration, wrinkles, inelastic skin, and enlarged blood vessels.
- It controls oiliness.
- It moisturizes the skin, making it supple and soft. Adding this to this brightening face mask allows you to have deep moisturizing as well.
- It controls oil. If you have oily skin, a banana will prevent your skin’s oil glands from secreting too much oil. It helps peel off the excess oil on the surface of the skin.
- It fights wrinkles. Bananas also have antioxidants that help delay aging signs such as wrinkles and fine lines.
- It makes dark spots fade. Dark spots, moles, scars, and even age spots make your face dark and dull. Bananas can lighten discolorations.
- It has antibacterial properties, making your skin free of blemishes and infection.
- It locks moisture into your skin, resulting in a soft, smooth, hydrated skin.
- It slows down the aging process.
- It opens your pores and unclogs them.
- It prevents blackheads.
- It lightens skin pigmentation.
