Why pay for expensive facials when you already have all the ingredients and you can make them yourself?? You can make your own masks, scrubs, or even moisturizers. It's all up to you!! You could even make them for oily, dry, or sensitive skin! Here are some of the ones I have tried and some that are highly recommended.
Dry skin:
2. Brown sugar scrub: This scrub is from the founder of Korres Natural Products. She says that sugar is a great exfoliator because of the grains. What you do is mix 1-2 tablespoons of brown sugar with 1-1 1/2 teaspoons of either olive oil or coconut oil. Massage in circular motions and rinse with warm water. Be sure to moisturize.
Oily skin:
1. Strawberry mask: Strawberries are a great natural source of acid. Acid is known to be great for acne. Mix 1/4 cup of fresh strawberries with 1/4 cup of sour cream or non flavored yogurt. Mash them together and leave on for 10-15 min. Rinse with cool water.
2. Honey banana mask: Mix 1 ripe banana with 1 tablespoon of honey and a lemon. Mash banana and honey together then add a few drops of lemon. Leave on for 15 min and rinse with cool water.
Sensitive skin:
1. Olive oil and avocado mask: Mix 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil with 1 1/2 teaspoon of avocado. Chill it for a little then apply to face for 5-10 min. Rinse and moisturize.
2. Oatmeal and yogurt mask: Mix 6 ounces of plain yogurt with 1/2 a cup of instant oatmeal and 2 teaspoons of honey. Leave on for 15 min then rinse.
These are just a few good ones that I've used and that others have really liked. Oh, and also to top it off try cucumber slices on your eyes for any of the masks. If you'd like me to post more please let me know!!
Please share how they work for you :)
Stay beautiful<3
