If you are the type to prefer natural ingredients, fear not, you can still use them for the ultimate face clean up at home. In fact, all you need to do is rummage about in your kitchen, and you will find some of the most amazing ingredients for your skin. Here we also have recipes for DIY face cleanup home remedies.
Remember to test the ingredients on your skin to ensure that you are not allergic to any of them.Here is how to use them for a face clean up, starting with how to prepare some of the products you will need:
1. Prepare Cleansers
For an oil cleanser, use olive oil or organic coconut oil if you have normal to dry skin and for sensitive to oily skin, use jojoba oil. You can also add a drop of your favourite essential oil to this.
For your honey based cleanser, mix a half teaspoon of milk or cream with half a teaspoon of honey if you have dry or normal skin. For oily skin mix the honey with a ½ teaspoon of lime juice, and for sensitive skin, mix it with ½ teaspoon of rose water.
2. Prepare Facial Scrub
You will need one teaspoon of granulated sugar/organic brown cane sugar and two drops of water. Mix well
3. Prepare Face Pack
One teaspoon gram flour (chickpea/garbanzo bean flour), ½ teaspoon turmeric, 1 ½ teaspoon of rosewater. Blend the ingredients together into a smooth paste. Make sure that there are no lumps of gram flour in the mixture.
4. Prepare the Toner
Your homemade face clean up is not complete without a toner. Mix equal parts of rosewater and cucumber water and store in a spray bottle.
5. Cleanse
First, rub the oil cleanser onto your dry skin and rub in circular motions for about 30 seconds. Rinse your face with lukewarm water and then double cleanse with the honey-based cleanser. Double cleansing is a great way to get off all the grime and dirt from the face
6. Steam
If you have a steamer, use it. If not, fill a dish with water and add a few drops of your favourite essential oil. Lavender, chamomile and frankincense are great for relaxation. Once the water has begun to boil, it will release steam. Place your head over the dish and cover with a towel to help keep the steam in. Stay like this for three to five minutes. Then, you can use your blackhead remover to scrape away your blackheads or, using a cotton pad; firmly (but not harshly) wipe your face, paying extra attention to the sides of the nose.
7. Exfoliate
Use your sugar scrub and gently exfoliate your skin. You do not want to be rough on your skin. Move your fingers in circular motions like the one you used while oil cleansing. After about 30 seconds to a minute of your thorough exfoliating massage, rinse your face with cool water. And pat the skin dry.
8. Apply Mask
On your freshly cleansed skin, use a face mask brush or your fingers to apply the face mask to your face, avoiding the eyes. You can use this pack on your under eyes as well. Lie down and relax for about 30 minutes. Rinse off with cool water.
9. Tone
Spray your homemade toner on your face and wipe with a cotton pad. This will help you get rid of any yellow stain the turmeric might have left on your skin, leaving you with soft and supple skin. If you are prone to dry skin, spray your face one more time and gently press the toner into the skin with your fingers.
10. Moisturise
You can now apply your favourite moisturiser, or you can keep with the natural theme and moisturise your face with soothing Aloe Vera gel.Read More……..
