ALOE VERA FACE MASK

Why Aloe Vera?

Aloe Vera has many therapeutic properties. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and anti-oxidants. Because of all these ingredients it treats skin problems and is even effective in healing wounds.

Aloe Vera is also effective in slowing down the skin’s aging process. It helps the skin retain moisture and also accelerates collagen production.

In summer our body tends to get more dehydrated, as most of the water is lost in the form of sweat.  Aloe Vera is the best of the summer season as it helps your skin to hydrate by retaining its moisture.

TOMATO MASK

Why Tomato?

A weekly dose of tomato can be very beneficial for our skin at these summer times. They are easily found in every household kitchen and have numerous health benefits. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene which have photo-protective properties, hence protecting your skin from sunburn. Applying tomato on skin can help you de-tan your skin while at the same time protecting its skin from harmful UV rays.
