Get rid of your skin and hair troubles right away

If you see the appearance of unpleasant breakouts, acne becoming too casual or skin looking dull,  start using face masks if you have not yet incorporated them in your routine. Same goes for dark spots, flaky, dry and dehydrated skin or excessively oily skin. Hair feeling frizzy, shine-free? Don’t fret, hair masks will be your saviour!

All these things like skin and hair woes are simply uninvited yet they show up ever so often. 

But there is a solution to this and that solution is ‘Face Masks and Hair Masks’. Face masks can be simply used on your face when you are experiencing any such skin issues. Brightening, clarifying, oil-controlling, pore-minimising, you name it, there is a face mask that’ll help tackle each and every kind of skincare concern. Also, face masks are one of the most indulgent skincare steps in anyone’s skincare routine. If you have like 10-15 minutes to spare, the most sought-after skincare products to use are the skincare masks. If you want to tackle dull skin, provide a boost of hydration, tone your skin, smoothen its texture or simply want to feel refreshed after a long day at work, we’d suggest you opt for a skincare mask. Apply it to your face and rest or get on with your chores. Similarly, for any and every kind of hair issue, be it extra frizz, split ends, dandruff, malnourished scalp, you’ll find a hair mask that tackles the issue you’re trying to solve. Everyone has a different hair and skin texture and not everything works for them. The key, here is to know the ingredient that will help you smoothly eliminate the skin or hair trouble but will not lead to any side effects. Packs and masks that are infused with such rich and active ingredients should be used. 

To make it easier for you, we’re lining up a few skin and hair concerns and the masks that you can pick to combat them. Read on…

1. Dry and flaky skin 

Concerned about skin getting dry and nothing helping you out? Dry and dehydrated  skin is not a concern only for the dry skin types but can happen to anyone and the causes are indefinite. Too much scrubbing or exfoliation, not giving your skin enough moisture, not using the right kind of skincare products and even the weather conditions can dry out your skin. There are a lot of ingredients that act as hydration superheroes. One such  natural ingredient that intensely hydrates and locks in moisture in the skin  is Honey. Since honey contains potassium, it has the ability to nourish your skin and provide moisture to the deeper layers of your skin. It also exfoliates and removes dead skin cells revealing a  brighter, healthier complexion. Due to the natural enzymes present in honey, it is one of the greatest humectants and keeps skin soft, supple, plumped up and combats dry and flaky skin problems in no time. We recommend Swisse Manuka Honey Detoxifying Clay Mask that has the star ingredient Manuka Honey known to hydrate and moisturise skin.

2. Acne & Breakouts

Acne is troublesome, everyone will agree! But let’s face it, they’re real. How annoying it can be to wake up and find out you are left to deal with breakouts. Worst case scenario? That you have a special event to attend and have to sort  what to do and how to soothe acne-rid skin. Acne is caused due to dietary reasons of course, but some other reasons can be clogged pores, excess sebum production, unexfoliated skin, etc. One of the star ingredients that tackles acne is Tea Tree Oil. All the credit goes to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that aid in calming redness, inflammation and swelling. Tea tree oil is also used to soothe and heal any acne scars. Since this ingredient is rich in terpinen-4-ol, it’s significantly more effective in treating acne. We recommend Skyn Organic Company Brazilian Volcanic Green Clay Facial Mask With Tea Tree Essential Oil that controls excess sebum and oil production and helps to clear acne and breakouts effectively. 

3. Dry and rough hair

Locks losing nourishment and moisture? Well, we’ve all been there, right? Ever wondered how much you can do for your hair and it still loses moisture. It sometimes can be worrisome and annoying. Using too many heating tools like straighteners and dryers without a heat protectant or chemicals such as sulphate and parabens can ruin your hair. It makes it go dry and brittle in a blink of an eye. One green ingredient that has the potential to make your hair healthy is Avocado. It’s a great agent for moisturisation.. Being rich in omega 3 fatty acids and amino acids, it retains the moisture levels in your hair. Even products rich in vitamins A, B2, D and E nourish, replenish and strengthen your hair, eliminating dryness and frizz. A hair mask that is infused with the goodness of avocado is Plum Avocado Nourish Up Hair Mask. The name itself proves that it won’t only get rid of frizzy hair but will keep it moisturised, smooth and shiny.

4. Hair Growth

Who doesn't want to flaunt long, shiny and strong hair? Hair flips have always been a thing. A certain length in hair is quite popular and everyone tries their best to grow it using hair oils, haircare products and growth boosters.  Not witnessing your hair grow quickly even after putting in the best of your efforts can be quite disheartening. There are a lot of hairstyles one can  end up missing out on. Using products that are not meant for your hair type, stress, genes are a few factors that can cause stunted growth of hair. Fortunately, you can induce and boost your hair growth with the help of the wonderful ingredient Indian Gooseberry (Amla). This one has been used since ages for its multiple benefits that it provides to hair.It’s rich in vitamin C, E and antioxidants. Serving double benefits, it reduces hair loss, and induces hair growth. One highly recommended mask for hair growth is  Prakriti Herbals Hair Rejuvenator Amla Shikakai Brahmi Bhringraj Hair Mask that is filled with other rich ingredients and is perfectly suitable for fortifying hair roots, strengthening weakened hair, preventing hair loss and boosting hair growth.
