The following are a few homemade facials that will help make your skin beautiful and vibrant.
Citrus and Grapefruit Mask for Oily Skin
Ingredients
½ grapefruit
½ lemon`s juice
½ cored apple
1-2 egg whites
30-40 seedless grapes
Mix all the ingredients together in a blender. Apply on your face and leave on for fifteen minutes, then rinse off with warm water.
Grapefruit unclogs pores and lemon is an excellent astringent and clarifier, while egg whites tighten the skin. Expect a tingle with this mask-that means its working but if your skin is dry it could start to burn. If this occurs, wash it off immediately.
Banana Face Pack for Dry Skin
Ingredients
1 egg yolk
2 tsp. almond oil
1 ripe banana
Combine everything in a bowl and mush into a paste with a fork. Apply this to face and leave on for 20 minutes. Remove with cool water and pat dry.
Banana Face Pack - For vegetarians (without egg)
Ingredients
Half a tub of natural yoghurt
Honey
Banana
Take half a tub of natural yoghurt and then add 2 tablespoons of runny honey and a banana. Mash them together with a fork and apply to face and neck. Then leave on for about 10 minutes and then rinse off.
Fruit Mask for Dehydrated Skin
Ingredients
1 cup of mixed mashed fruit (try melon, peaches, strawberries, and bananas)
2-3 Tbsp. Double cream
3 tsp. cottage cheese
1 tsp. brown sugar
4 tsp. oatmeal powder
Blend all the ingredients together and apply on your face. Relax for ten minutes, and rinse off with warm water.
The luscious combination of cream and juicy fruits works wonders after a hot day in the sun and helps refresh the skin.
Honey Mask
Ingredients
1½ tbsp. honey
1 egg white
2 tsp. glycerin
1/3 cup flour
Whisk the honey, egg white and glycerine, and then add the flour. The result should be a thick paste. Apply to face and rinse after 15 minutes.
This mask effectively moisturizes and tightens the skin, making it smooth and soft.
Egg Mask
Ingredients:
1 egg white
Separate the egg white from the yolk. Put the egg white on your face and relax for about 15 minutes. Wash off with lukewarm water. This mask leaves your skin smooth, refreshed and tightens your skin.
Take the separated yolk from the egg white and mix the yolk and apply over clean skin. Let it set for about 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water. The egg yolk acts as an ant-oxidant and does wonders for your complexion as it pulls impurities out of your skin, leaving it soft and healthy.
Yoghurt Moisturizing Mask
Ingredients:
Plain yoghurt.
Smooth yoghurt over your face and let it set for about 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water. This mask is super-simple and will add lots of moisture to your skin. Especially a treat to people having dry skin.
Egg and Honey Facial
Ingredients
1 egg yolk
1 tsp. honey
1 tsp. vitamin E oil
1 tsp. almond oil
Mix all ingredients together, stirring until smooth. To use, apply to face and rinse with warm water after 15 minutes.
This easy mask is suitable for all skin types. It clarifies and moisturizes the skin, leaving it cleansed and silken. Egg yolks contain anti-oxidants, which are very beneficial to your skin.
Vegetable Mask
Ingredients
1/2 tomato, mashed (remove the seeds and skin)
2 tsp. curd
1 tsp. mashed cucumbe
3-4 tsp. oatmeal powder
3 crushed mint leaves.
Mix ingredients together and apply on your face. Wait for ten minutes, and then wash off with warm water.
This mask works well for oily skin, since it absorbs the surplus oils. Tomatoes are excellent anti-oxidants, and the curd prevents excessive drying.
Fruity Facials
Strawberry
Crush the strawberries and apply on face and leave it on for 2/3 minutes and then rinse with plenty of water.
Strawberry is rich in vitamin c and is very refreshing for your skin. Mashed strawberries can also be used as an astringent.
However some people are allergic to strawberry so before applying, test it on your skin and apply it only if it suits your skin.
Papaya
Crush papaya and apply on face and leave it on for 5 minutes. Rinse off with plenty of water.
Papayas contain an enzyme `papain`, which is useful in exfoliating the skin.
Watermelon
Crush watermelon and apply on the face for 5 minutes and then rinse. Watermelon cleanses the skin.
