How to make 5 face masks this winter at home

Taking care of your skin in winter is key, as it’s more prone to damage. Cold weather can dry out your skin, leaving it rough and uneven, while indoor heating can worsen the issue, leading to cracked and bleeding skin.

It’s important to consider natural remedies over chemical masks to protect your skin. Chemicals can further damage your skin, whereas natural ingredients like lemon juice, honey, olive oil, and yogurt offer a gentle alternative.

Here are five top homemade face masks for winter you can make:
