BRIGHTENING MASK
You will need
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 3 to 4 teaspoons yogurt
- 2 teaspoons flour
- Medium sized bowl
- Yogurt
Directions:
Turmeric contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components which adds glow and radiance to the skin.
- In a bowl, combine flour and turmeric.
- Add yogurt and mix. (The color of the mask should look like a mustard yellow).
- Make sure your face is clean, then apply a thin layer of the mask on your face and leave on for 10 to 20 minutes.
- Rinse off with lukewarm water, then cold water to close your pores.
- Follow with your usual toning and moisturizing process. (You can use the homemade rose water as a toner, directions below!)
LIP SCRUB
You will need
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey (Optional)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Small glass container
Directions
- In the glass container, combine honey and brown sugar.
- Add cinnamon to plump the lips.
- Mix well, and voila! Your ready-to-use lip scrub.
ROSE WATER FACIAL MIST
You will need
- 4 to 5 rose petals
- Filtered water
- Strainer
- Essential Oil of your choice like lavender (Optional)
- Plastic spray bottle
- Large Pot
Directions
- Start by carefully tearing the petals off the roses.
- Place the petals into a large pot and add enough filtered water to cover the petals.
- Press gently on the petals to submerge them.
- Turn the stove on to medium heat and bring to a boil.
- Place the strainer over a large bowl and pour the rose water into the strainer.
- Cover the rose water and let it cool on the side.
- Have your spray bottle on hand and ready.
- Pour the rose water gently, and add 2 to 3 drops of the essential oil of your choice; shake the bottle so the oil can mix well, and there you go, your face mist is ready!
