Discover in this article how you can prepare a home remedy to nourish and exfoliate your face once a week.

Why do I have a tired face?

The aging of skin cells is one of the main causes that our face looks tired, without luminosity or vitality.

• In the same way as other cells, those of the skin also undergo progressive oxidation due to free radicals.

In addition, there are those who suffer it prematurely for any of the following reasons:

Lack of hydration

• It is essential to drink between a liter and a half and two liters of water every day, as stated in this study by the Spanish Society of Basic and Applied Nutrition.
• In addition, it should be drunk outside of meals and, especially, on an empty stomach.

Lack of regular exfoliation to renew cells

• It is very important to clean the skin properly and with natural products.
• It should also be exfoliated on a regular basis, to facilitate its regeneration, improve elasticity, etc.

Lack of nutrients

Malnutrition affects the entire body and is reflected in a tired face. It is not always  due to a lack of food, but rather to an unbalanced diet, poor in:

• Vitamins
• Minerals
• Fatty acids, etc.
• The lack of raw food also detracts from our vitality.

Excess sun exposure

If we expose our skin to the sun in excess and in the hours of maximum radiation we will be causing a greater oxidation to our skin.

Physical and mental tiredness

Exhaustion, nerves, stress and negative emotions affect our health and our skin.

Our face cannot hide them.

Lack of night rest

Try to get a good 7-8 hours of sleep each night and have a really restful sleep.

• The bedroom should be a cozy and relaxing place, free from lights and noise.

Smoking

Smoking dehydrates the skin and gradually turns it gray. In addition, as reported by the Mayo Clinic, it accelerates the normal aging process.

Excessive use of makeup or poor-quality cosmetic products

These products block the pores of the skin and dry it, reducing its luminosity and natural hydration.

What is this exfoliating mask?

In this beauty remedy we combine two benefits.

• We have a nourishing and revitalizing mask for all skin types, thanks to its regulating and stimulating properties. For this reason we will apply it once a week and let it act for 15 minutes.

In addition, the ground coffee base of this mask is exfoliating if we massage the skin, so when we go to remove it with water, we will take the opportunity to peel the entire skin.

• Especially in areas with pimples or excess fat.

Ingredients

• Honey bee. Honey is a nutritious food and it also helps to maintain its natural hydration.

Preparation

• We will mix all the ingredients well.

How do we apply it?

• We will put a thick layer of the mask on the entire face, including the area of ​​the dark circles, if we have them. We can also include the neck, an area that should be cared for in the same way as the skin.
