5 effective face masks recipes you can whip up at home

Sheet masks are such a huge trend now that we have forgotten the wonderful ingredients at home that can be whipped into a mask. An at-home face mask is not just effective, but also pure because you know exactly what you’re putting on your face. In fact, some of the recipes are so clean that you can literally eat what you apply. Now what can be better than that?
We got Rajiv Yadav, spa director at Quan Spa at JW Marriott Delhi, and Asenla Jamir, senior aromatherapist and assistant spa manager, Ananda in the Himalayas, to reveal their favourite kitchen-to-skin recipes. From soothing, to exfoliating, anti-ageing to decongesting, these masks cover the entire gamut of skin concerns.



The sunburn soother
Mix equal parts aloe gel, grated cucumber and yogurt. Apply all over face to cool down sunburn or even when you feel red and irritated from the heat. All three ingredients are excellent to sooth skin.
