Here are 7 of the most popular DIY overnight face masks:
1) The Cucumber Face Mask
Cucumber juice can reduce inflammation, reduce wrinkles, and improve hydration. The cucumber overnight mask is a simple mask and is comprised solely of cucumber juice. Here’s how it’s done:
- Skin a cucumber, chop it up and put the pieces in a blender
- Blend on high for 20 seconds or until all chunks are gone
- Place a strainer over a bowl and pour the blender contents into the strainer
- Dip a cotton ball into the resulting juice and apply to your face
- Give it time to dry thoroughly before laying down to sleep
- Wash off with warm water in the morning
2) The Watermelon Face Mask
Watermelon is rich in a compound called lycopene. Lycopene itself is rich in antioxidants. Applying watermelon juice to your face will enable these antioxidants to do their work, preventing free radicals from undermining the integrity of your skin. Here’s how you do it:
- Cut up the red flesh of your watermelon into cubes
- Put them in a juice press and extract the juice
- Dab a cotton ball into the juice and apply it evenly to your face
