- Femme - Posted February 6, 2004 Homemade Facials Following are a few homemade facials that will help make your skin beautiful and vibrant. Citrus and grapefruit mask for oily skin types: Ingredients: grapefruit lemon's juice cored apple 1-2 egg whites 30-40 seedless grapes Mix ingredients together in a blender. Apply on your face and leave 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. water. This mask leaves your skin smooth, refreshed and tightens your skin. Yogurt 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. Plus, it's great for those of us who hate spending time in the kitchen and want something that's quick to prepare and easy to make. Fruity Facials Ingredients: Strawberry Crush strawberry 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. However some people are allergic to strawberry so before applyinh test it on your skin and if there is any irritation then do not apply. Ingredients: 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. Ingredients: Watermelon Crush watermelon and apply on the face for 5 minutes and then rinse. Watermelon cleanses the skin. Additional Homemade Facials Mix 1 1/2 teaspoons honey, the juice from 1/2 of a lemon, and 3-tablespoon yoghurt. Stir in 1 whipped egg white. Apply to face and let set about 15 minutes. Then wash off with lukewarm water. Make a paste from a little oatmeal and water. Apply to face and let it dry. Then wash off with lukewarm water. Mash half of an avocado and apply to entire face. Let set for about 20 minutes and then wash off. Mash 1/2 banana and add 1-tablespoon honey and 2 tablespoons sour cream. Apply to face and let set for about 10 minutes. Then wash off with lukewarm water. Two tablespoons of cornmeal mixed with enough water to make a thick paste makes a great inexpensive facial mask. Gently apply to face and wash off. Soak 1 cup dried apricots in water until softened. Puree in blender or food processor with 2 tablespoons skim milk powder. Apply to face and let set about 15 minutes. Then wash off with lukewarm water. In a food processor or blender, combine 1/2 cucumber, 1-tablespoon yoghurt, a few strawberries, and 1-teaspoon honey. Apply to face and let it dry. Then wash off with lukewarm water. To loosen blackheads, combine equal parts baking soda and water in your hand and rub gently on your skin for 2 to 3 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

Blessed Posted February 12, 2004 Shaabella girl.. thnx for the 411. But would anybody actually put eggs on thier face :eek: I can't take the smell... I think the best facial on earth is Qasil - if you mix a lil natural youghurt than it really cleans up your skin... Might try the strawberry facial - if I manage not to eat them all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rahima Posted May 3, 2004 I think the best facial on earth is Qasil - if you mix a lil natural youghurt than it really cleans up your skin... Gotta agree. I wish i could be bothered to do it routinely though. Girls, even though we're talking about facials, let me divert for one second- ROSE HIP OIL . The best you can get, excellent for dry skin, not to mention is eliminates any blemishes. Warning- oily skin sisters stay away! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
