Basic Aloe Vera face mask (For dry and sensitive skin)

This basic do-it-yourself aloe vera face mask is not restricted to only your face. It can be applied to any other part of your body to soothe and heal your skin. It is especially useful after sunbathing. It hydrates and relaxes your skin and starts or speeds up the healing of your sunburned skin

INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons Aloe Vera juice
1 tablespoons Aloe Vera gel
2 drops of 100% Lavender or Rose essential oil (or your favorite)
2 Cucumber slices
How to do it:

Put all the ingredients, except the cucumber, in a bowl and blend them until you have a nice smooth substance

Spread this gently and equally with your fingertips or with a cotton ball on your clean face and neck: keep the eye area clear

Now lie down, relax and leave the mask on for 5-10 minutes

Then wash it off with a warm wet wash cloth and warm water, end with a splash of cold; pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Finally apply a moisturizer, this way you "seal" your skin to keep the water inside
