3 overnight masks that can give you a glowing skin – Times of India

With work from home hours getting longer and longer, we seldom find time to tend to our skin during daytime. But that does not mean you will neglect it until it starts to break out. If you find it hard to find time to pamper your skin during the day, you can try out some home made face masks and leave them on your face overnight, only to wash them off in the morning. And, you will surprised to see that early morning glow back on your face.

Honey and oatmeal


Start with mixing two tablespoons each of honey and oatmeal. Add a few drops of rosewater (optional) to this paste and apply it overnight. Scrub off this mask in the morning and rinse it with lukewarm water. Oatmeal is a natural exfoliator that removes dead cells and honey helps to deep moisturise you skin. This beauty mask can work wonders for oily and acne prone skin, and should be applied twice a week.

Yogurt and honey

All you need to do is add a tablespoon each of honey and yoghurt, and apply this paste overnight. Yoghurt contains lactic acid that works on your dead skin cells and prevents breakouts. Honey helps to nourish your skin and gives you a natural glow.

Cucumber and olive oil


Take two tablespoons of cucumber juice and mix it with a tablespoon of olive oil. Apply this mask overnight and wash it off with cold water next morning. Cucumber has cooling properties that soothes skin irritations, and helps to restore the natural pH balance of skin. On the other hand, olive oil helps hydrate the skin and makes it supple.
