How to Make an Overnight Aloe Vera Face Mask in 4 Different Ways
Aloe vera benefits your skin in a lot of ways. It’s often used to soothe sunburn and skin injuries, but it also helps manage acne, slows signs of aging, and fades dark spots and stretch marks, all while moisturizing your skin as well.
Follow my tutorial to learn how to make 4 overnight aloe vera masks from ingredients that might surprise you – and you may already have!
Disclaimer: When applied to the skin, turmeric can sometimes cause temporary staining, so please proceed with caution! You may wish to use slightly less turmeric than the recipe recommends.
Tools and materials:
- Aloe vera gel
- Activated charcoal powder
- Tea tree essential oil
- Instant coffee
- Turmeric
- Small bowl and spoon
1. Aloe charcoal sleeping mask
Activated charcoal gives your skin a deep clean by drawing out impurities and absorbing excess oil. That leaves you with purified and detoxified skin.
Mix together the following ingredients in a small bowl:
- 4 tablespoons of aloe vera gel
- 1 teaspoon of activated charcoal
Massage a small amount of the mask into your skin until it has been well-absorbed. Keep the mask on overnight and rinse it off thoroughly in the morning.
2. Aloe tea tree sleeping mask
Tea tree oil will improve your skin tone while clearing and preventing acne. This mask will leave you with smooth and refreshed skin.
In a small bowl mix together:
- 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel
- 4 or 5 drops of tea tree essential oil
Spread the mask onto your face and leave it on overnight to fight your acne while you sleep.
3. Aloe vera coffee sleeping mask
The coffee in this mask is rich in antioxidants, and it tones, soothes, and hydrates your skin. That results in firmer skin with fewer fine lines.
Mix together:
- 4 tablespoons of aloe vera gel
- 1 teaspoon of instant coffee powder
Spread a thin layer of the mask on your face when you go to bed, leave it on overnight, and rinse it off thoroughly in the morning.
4. Aloe turmeric sleeping mask
Turmeric has a strong aroma, but it repairs skin pigmentation problems, relieves dark circles, and generally brightens your skin. You’ll be left with clear, fresh skin after using this mask.
Mix together:
- 4 tablespoons of aloe vera gel
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
Before bed, apply this mask to your face and under your eyes. Wake up feeling fresh and bright!
