4 Cooling Face Masks To Beat The Heat This Summer

The scorching summer is approaching, and so are the parched-skin days. Here are some cocktails of nourishment for the face that will give your skin much needed love and strength to fight the heat this season.

1. Cucumber

This delicious and low calorie summer fruit is also thirst quenching for your skin. Cucumber is quite soothing and hydrating. And the best part is that you don't even have to mix it with any other ingredient. Place thin slices all over the face and let the coolness sink into your skin.

2. Aloe vera

The very versatile aloe vera gel is a solution to number of skin concerns like acne and tanning. This transparent slimy gel can be applied to the scalp for removing dandruff and making it healthy. Rich in Vitamin C and E, the natural gel is quite nourishing. Aloe Vera hydrates the skin and has anti-ageing qualities as well.

3. Mint

Mint being the life of almost every refreshing summer cooler, has much more to its credit than just fragrance and taste. Its anti-inflammatory properties helps calm dry skin and controls oiliness. The fragrant mint paste has a cooling and soothing effect on the skin. Mixing mint paste with turmeric can help you fight redness and pimples.

4. Avocado

Avocado is a rich source of various vitamins and minerals like vitamin K, copper, folate, vitamin B6, potassium, vitamin E, vitamin C, etc. It's a great way to revitalize and rejuvenate the skin. The berry gives elasticity to the skin and hence reduces early ageing. Just mix mashed avocados with a spoonful of honey to give your skin that moisture boost it needs in this cruel weather.
