Homemade Face Mask for Mature Skin
See ‘Is Your Skin Prematurely Aging’ to fiind out if your skin fits this category. This mask works well for maturing skin, since sugar is a great natural exfoliant and will help soften the lines your skin creates as it ages.
2 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp warm water
Melt the sugar in warm water. Make sure the granules are dissolved, otherwise they may tear your skin. Apply to the face and leave for 5 minutes. Gently massage around the skin. Rinse.
