Eggs and honey
Egg based facials are a perfect match for all types of complexions,
so go to your fridge and prepare a nourishing and gently
exfoliating mask using eggs and honey. Mix one egg yolk with one
tablespoon of honey until you get a soft paste and apply it with
your fingers on your skin, avoiding the area surrounding the eyes.
Use the finger pads to gently, but rapidly massage it onto your
skin. The mixture will become sticky and this way you'll remove
some of the dead skin cells which cover your skin while
moisturizing it. Once the mixture turns sticky, rinse it off with
lukewarm water. Your skin will feel and look softer.
Water
Believe it or not, water can be a quick remedy for tired looking
skin, but not just any type of water. Cold water is the perfect way
to reinvigorate a tired looking complexion, so splash cold water on
your skin to stimulate blood circulation and obtain a much
healthier look.
Avocado and cream
Avocados are great for your skin, so use them to gently and
naturally exfoliate your skin. Take
the seed out of an avocado and grate it in fine pieces. Mix the
fine seed with a little bit of cream and polish your skin with the
mixture. If you're out of cream, you can use yogurt or crushed
avocado pulp instead. Rinse your skin with water once you've
exfoliated.
Cucumber and thyme
These two ingredients have amazing anti-inflammatory and antiseptic
properties, thus can help make a perfect soothing mask for red,
irritated skin. Place a small cucumber in the blender and add a few
fresh thyme leaves into the mixture. Apply the mixture on the skin,
avoiding the eyes and let it work for about 10 minutes. Rinse the
mask off using cold water.
Papaya for acne skin
Papaya is a fruit which contains papain, an enzyme which gently
dissolves dead skin cells, softens and whitens the skin. Papaya
juice also helps treat swollen acne and prevents their infection,
this is why papaya is a perfect ingredient to help exfoliate and
treat acne skin. Exfoliating this type of complexion with abrasive
products is a definite no-no as they might damage the swollen
pimples and cause redness and even
infections. Mash a papaya pulp in the blender and apply it on your
skin for about 10 to 15 minutes, avoiding the area surrounding the
eyes. Afterwards, rinse it off using lukewarm water.
TIP! Before applying any homemade facial onto your skin,
make sure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients.
