Face packs for winter

This morning when I woke up and went in front of the mirror to brush my teeth, I almost had a heart attack. My face was fine (not good but okay) the last time when I saw myself in the mirror. Today when I saw it, it was dry and I almost look like the witch from Hansel and Gretel (I have a long nose). Adding to my miseries, my husband said that I do not have to do any makeup today for Halloween for a witch today as I already look like one! Hurt from this statement, I immediately started surfing the net and scanning the magazines for some packs. I am writing this hub with a grape pack applied on my face. Hope this works before evening. I had thought that I will start applying home made packs when the winter has arrived but it seems that I should had started earlier.

These masks which are applied in winter are usually water based masks or hydrating masks. These masks help in retaining the moisture of the face lost in winter. There are many masks for hydrating skin the market but I decided to try some homemade packs. To read about other home made masks, please go through these hubs written by me previously.http://dipsmi.hubpages.com/hub/face-packs-for-glowing-skin, http://dipsmi.hubpages.com/hub/glowing-skin-at-less-cost, http://dipsmi.hubpages.com/hub/How-I-did-facial-at-home

3. Mix rose water and strawberry and apply on your face. This will also help in exfloriate
4. Rose water and banana face pack will not only moisturize your face but will make it glow.

12. In case you do not have grapes, mash papaya and apply on the skin.
13. Apply aloe Vera, this product is very good for the skin in all season.
14. This one is a bit messy but very effective. Mix 1 egg, olive oil 1 tsp and 1 tsp of honey and apply on face for 15 minutes. Wash with lukewarm water.
15. Make a homemade toner by mixing melon juice and milk in equal proportion This toner is very helpful in winter season as it cleans the skin and also hydrate it.
