Your face is the first area most people see when they meet you, so it is extremely important to keep it looking healthy and clean. Keeping a healthy glow means not only cleaning your face, but also rehydrating it with a mask at least once a week. The reason is that soaps often dehydrate your skin, leaving it looking slightly weathered and sometimes causing premature aging. While most people use a moisturizer, which helps, it is also important to make use of a mask, which restores the PH balance in your skin and protects it from the elements. There are a few natural options to make use of if you either don't have the budget or are uninterested in using chemicals on your skin.

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera comes from the Aloe plant, which is a greenish cactus like plant with short spines along its arms. Inside of the plant arms is the greenish gel that is used to treat burns, scrapes or any other imperfections on the skin. It is also widely used in cosmetic products and is equipped with a number of different vitamins that help to sooth, calm and reenergize your skin follicles. To use it as a facemask, simply snap off a piece of one of the arms and squeeze out the gel, applying it all skin areas on the face and around the eyes. Leave it one from 10 to 15 minutes, before removing with water. You'll notice your skin feeling softer and smoother.

Avocados

Avocados are most often used as a food source due to their high fatty acid content, which are nutrients that are extremely beneficial when consumed regularly. People from Central and South America have been relying on avocados in their diet for generations. Oval shaped and covered in either a dark or light green skin, the light green fleshy substance beneath the skin is the area that holds all the nutrients. To use the avocado, simply cut it in half and scoop out the green fleshy substance, applying it to the face and areas around the eyes. Leave it on for between 10 to 15 minutes before removing with water. Using avocados regularly will help remove dirt and provide a protective coating over your skin.
