Ingredients
1 small red onion
1 tablespoon pure aloe vera gel
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
1 teaspoon plain yogurt (optional, for a creamier texture)
Directions
Peel and finely grate the red onion.
Place the grated onion in a clean piece of cheesecloth and squeeze out a small amount of juice.
Mix 1 teaspoon onion juice with the aloe vera gel.
Add honey or yogurt if desired and mix until smooth.
Apply a thin layer to clean skin, avoiding the eyes and lips.
Leave on for 5β10 minutes only, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Pat your skin dry and apply a gentle moisturizer.
β οΈ Important Note
Onion can irritate the skin, especially sensitive skin. Patch-test first, stop immediately if you feel burning or significant irritation, and don’t use it on broken or irritated skin. There isn’t good evidence that this mask can remove wrinkles or dark spots in 72 hours, so avoid making those claims.
