Why Buy It When You Can Make It? Check Out this Recipe For Homemade Facials
Sometimes beauty needs money, and in a
bid to get the best quality products we end up spending a huge chunk of
it on facial treatments that could probably be whipped up in our
kitchen. A good facial peel from a SPA costs about N10, 000, and not
everybody including yours truly, can spend that amount frequently.
However, we all still want our skin to look smoother, finer and better.
A facial peel also known as chemical
peel enhances the appearance of the skin in a very good way. A chemical
solution is applied on the skin, which turns the wrinkled or problematic
section of the skin into blisters, and this makes it very easy for the
layer to be peeled off without scarring the face. The essence of this
chemical peel is to make the skin finer and better in appearance.
As I often say “there is always a natural solution to every beauty challenge”.
Keep reading as I show you how you can make a natural home made facial
peel that is inexpensive, safe and of course works. Once you’re done
with this natural facial peel, your skin will look so good (you may not
recognize yourself, in a ‘good way’)
What you need
Even though there are a lot of ingredients that can be used to make home
made facial masks or peels as you may find on other sites, but this one
will only focus on using three.
- Fresh Pineapple (Medium Size)
- Fresh Papaya (PawPaw) (Medium Size)
- Dark Organic Honey (1 Tablespoon)
Wondering why we are using these
particular ingredients? Well Pineapple and Papaya contain natural
enzymes and alpha-hydroxyl acids that eliminate dead skin cells and the
honey soothes and revitalises the skin. Here’s how.
Procedure
Step 1: Blend the Pineapple and the Papaya into a fine paste. It is advisable to use a blender to this effect to get a smooth paste.
Step 2: After the paste has been made, add a tablespoon of organic honey to the mixture.
Step 3: Wash you face
with your preferred facial wash, making sure your face is clean and pat
dry with a paper towel (Or use a lint-less towel to avoid irritation
when the paste is applied)
Step 4: Use your ring
finger to apply the paste to your face and neck. While doing this please
avoid your eye area or other parts of your ski you know t be sensitive.
Step 5: Lie down on
your back, relax and leave the mask on for 20- 25 minutes. If you have
sensitive skin reduce the time to around 10 minutes.
Step 6: After exceeding the allotted time, wash the mask off with warm water.
Step 7: After your face
is completely dry, use your preferred toner and moisturiser all over
the treated area. After this has been done it is advisable to sprinkle
some cold water as well; washing your face with warm water opens up your
pores allowing the skin soak up the ingredients and moisturiser.
Sprinkling cold water afterwards closes the pores back up securing the
treatment under the skin.
And that’s your natural beauty tip!
