I love trying out homemade recipes for skin and hair :) So am here with another DIY post :)
U will need :
- Hairband-to keep ur hair away from face
- Gentle facial cleanser-Cetaphil or neutrogena deep clean will do :)
- Bowl
- Warm water-lukewarm and not hot
- Soft Towel
- Steaming Hot water
- Exfoliating scrub-I used Aroma magic..u can use the St.Ives Apricot scrub too :)
- Facial mask:U need 2 types of mask:pore cleansing mask and hydrating mask
- Cucumber slices
- Place to lie down and relax
- Cold Water
- Serum
- Moisturiser-u can skip this if ur serum is moisturising enuf :)
- Lemon
- Tie ur hair and put a hairband to keep the hair away from ur face.
- Massage the facial cleanser on ur face in a circular motion over ur cheeks,chin and forehead.use a downward motion over ur nose.Use circular motion over ur neck.
- Now after a min wash it with lukewarm water.
- Pour hot water in the bowl and lean over the bowl with a towel covering u (Yea yea the steaming process ;) )
- Squeeze a few drops of lemon if u have oily skin or vit e oil if u have dry skin into the bowl for extra benefits.
- After steaming Use a blackhead clearing scrub..I used the AM Mineral glow scrub :) And so I scrubbed for 2 mins and left it on my face for 10 mins:)
- Now wash ur face with Cold water.It helps to tone the skin!
- Its time for the mask...the best part :D First use a deep pore cleansing mask :Clay masks work the best or u can make ur own mask using a mixture of Multani mitti and honey.
- Wash it after 10-15 mins with lukewarm water
- Next apply the hydrating mask.I made one using Banana,Olive oil,vit e oil,milk cream and rose oil
- Lie in a place,relax with cucumber slices over ur eyes and listen to ur fav music ;) Enrique anyone?? :D
- Wash it off in 7 mins with lukewarm water.
- Now splash cold water.U will look radiant ;)
- Apply a serum.I used Lotus Micro emulsion!
- U can use a night cream alternatively :)
U can also bleach ur skin before using the face packs.The Fem Gold Bleach has got great reviews ;) But do a patch test before bleaching :)
Hope u guys like my regime :) Take care and do leave ur sweet notes :)
