8 Marigold Face Masks for Glowing and Beautiful Skin

8 Marigold Face Masks for Glowing and Beautiful Skin

Hello Everyone,

Glowing and youthful skin is a dream of every girl. There are so many beauty products available in the market that claim to give us flawless skin but only sometimes do we find products that really work for us. I personally used to try a lot of commercial products for my skin care and hair care but from the past one year I have tried to switch to a more natural skin care/hair care regime and I am so glad to see the results. Products available in the market are so expensive and half of the times they do not work for us so it is a waste of money and the side effects of using chemically loaded products wreck havoc on our skin. I am using natural skin care products that I make with the ingredients available in the kitchen so I can customize them according to my skin needs. They are easy to make and they light on the pocket too and the most important part is that they work like magic on my skin.

Today I will be sharing 8 Face Masks with you all from which you can choose according to your skin and use it to get that flawless and glowing skin. All of you must be having a marigold flower plant in your garden. I do not think there is any house in India that does not grow Marigold plant in their gardens. So today I will be using that marigold flower paste to make face masks for all skin types. You can use these face masks twice in a week and I am sure you will love the results.

Marigold has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as it is a strong antiseptic agent and is a very effective astringent. Marigold flower extract is wonderful when rubbed onto the face and skin, which may prevent wrinkles by stimulating the collagen production by the body. It can be used as a natural moisturizer and is very soothing to irritated and damaged skin. It also has healthy influences on oily skin and normalizes the activity of the sebaceous glands. Marigold flower contains Vitamin A, B1 and Vitamin D and is loaded with antioxidants. Marigold flower revitalized dull and sagging skin. It also soothes dry, sensitive and damaged skin. It reduces acne, rashes, pimples and blemishes. Marigold is an very ancient remedy for treating acne, pimples and for keeping skin clear, fresh and glowing. Its powerful anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties have been used to soothe rashes, heal wounds and all other skin infections. Marigold also contains several anti-aging properties that are helpful in enhancing the production of collagen in the skin and to clear fine lines and wrinkles. Marigold contains a antioxidant named carotenoids that help fight existing wrinkles and protects skin from further damage caused by environmental conditions.
