Carbonate is an amazing ingredients. We can use this one in our beauty routines as well as cleaning our kitchen. Such diverse usage of carbonate makes me wonder if I can prepare DIY carbonate mask recipes. As it turns out, I can. So, I wanted to share my experience with you.
Benefits of Carbonate Mask
I have provided three different carbonate mask recipes. Each mask has unique properties and different benefits for your skin. One of the most important property of this mask is that it will clean all your pores.
Carbonate has peeling power and it will deep scrub your face. You can even use this ingredient as a face scrub. Also, since it has peeling power, your dead cells will be removed. This will give you brighter and healthier skin.
Another benefit is carbonate can fight against acne. Acne is a common problem among many people. Since carbonate cleans your face and removed your dead cells, acne formation is prevented. When you add lemon juice in your carbonate mask recipe, you will double the effect. Lemon is a natural anti-microbial which will help you to fight against acne.
If you use carbonate with yogurt, you can benefit from soothing power of yogurt. Also, while scrubbing your face, yogurt will continue to moisturise your skin. This way, if you have sensitive skin, you can still remove your dead skin cells.
Carbonate Mask Recipe – 1
Ingredients
- 2 table spoon of carbonate
- 2 table spoon of warm water
Preparation
Slowly pour water on carbonate until you obtain a paste. You need to be careful about this step. If you add too much water, you will have liquid mask. And it is really hard to apply a liquid mask. So, be careful about this step.
You can also prepare more mask if you are going to apply it to a larger area. When you obtain this paste, apply it on problematic area. Generally, this mask works well against acne. You need to keep the mask on for 20 minutes. After that, wash your face with warm water.
Carbonate Mask Recipe – 2
Ingredients
- 2 table spoons of Greek yogurt
- 4 tea spoons of carbonate
- 8-10 drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3-4 tea spoon of olive oil
Preparation
Mix Greek yogurt, carbonate, lemon juice and olive oil in a cup. Combine all the ingredients. Apply this mask on your face with your fingers or by using a clean brush.
Keep it on for 20-30 minutes. Wash your face with warm water
Carbonate Mask Recipe – 3
Ingredients
- 1 table spoon of carbonate
- 1 table spoon of yeast
- 8-10 drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice
Preparation
Mix carbonate, yeast and lemon juice in a clean cup. Since this mask has yeast, there is one thing you need to be careful about.
You need to use a wooden spoon to mix those ingredients rather than metal spoon. Metal spoon can interact with yeast. After that, leave the mask on your face for about 25 minutes. Wash you face with water.
Beauty Routine with Carbonate Mask
If you want tot try one these carbonate masks, you need a complete skin care routine. Before applying any of these masks, you need to clean your make-up. Make-up will clog your pores and wearing it all day can cause acne or other skin problems.
After removing your make-up, you need to clean you face as well. Although you remove your make-up, residues will still be there on your face. If you want full benefits of the mask, you need a clean skin. You can use homemade face cleaner or homemade face toner for cleaning process.
When you skin is clean, you can apply one of the three amazing carbonate masks above. But you need one more step to complete your skincare routine. After cleaning your face, you need to apply a moisturiser. Moisturiser will protect and support your skin. Also, it is always a good idea to give some moist after peeling masks.
