Apple Face Masks: 12 DIY Recipes for Healthy Skin

Each one of us has surely heard of the famous proverb “An apple a day keeps a doctor away”. This beneficial fruit is rich in vitamin C, vitamin A and copper, which are skin-friendly nutrients. The vitamin C in apple helps to re-store the collagen content of the skin. Collagen provides the elasticity to the skin, thus keeping the wrinkles at bay and also maintains the sin’s waterproof barrier.

The copper content in the apple helps to maintain the melanin production in the skin. Did you know that melanin in the skin helps to protect it from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun, thus providing the skin natural sunscreen. The vitamin A helps to build the damaged skin tissues and facilitate the growth of new cells.

Check Out the Apple Face Packs for Different Skin Types:

For most of the apple face masks, we would use a medium sized apple, which is freshly grated. Do not use the apples, which have been cut for a long time, as they tend to oxidise and form a brownish tinge on them.

1. Apple Face Pack for Oily Skin:

• Take a teaspoon of the grated apple in a bowl.

• Into this, add 1 teaspoon of curd and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. The lactic acid content in the curd acts as a skin moisturiser and skin brightener. It also helps to absorb the excess oil from the face and thus it is ideal for oil skin.

• Mix well to form a smooth paste with a thick consistency.

• Apply this pack all over your face and keep for 15 minutes. Rinse your face with cool water.

2. Apple Face Pack for Dry Skin:
