Homemade Facial Kit with Kitchen Ingredients


Facial is one of the most important skin care regime. Facial massage treatment helps blood circulation, skin elasticity, reducing age wrinkles and increase skin glow. It also retains the moisture in the skin. Facial massage is the best method to get rid of black heads and white heads.

There are so many facial kits in the market. Many kits perform well and are very efficient on the skin. Yet, there is something more efficient and worth believing in its performance on the skin. All the items from your very own kitchen shelf make into a great facial kit.

I usually follow the kitchen shelf items facial massage routine. My Facial Kit comprises of

  •         Milk
  •         Milk cream
  •         Crushed almond powder
  •         Tomato juice
  •         Few drops of honey

Done. These items are readily available at any point of time in any body’s kitchen.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Cleanse & Massage

Milk forms an excellent skin cleanser. Massage a spoon of milk on to your face for about 2 minutes and wipe it off with a wet cotton or tissue. Milk cream forms a great massage cream. The hydration it provides to the skin is excellent. I take a coin size of amount of the milk cream to massage my facial and neck. (Yes, do not forget to massage your neck as well.) Massage for about 10 minutes. [Editors Note: This process provides hydration to the skin and also cleanses the dirt, makeup residues and dust effectively]


Step 2: Scrub

My scrub is the almond powder. It is a perfect scrub granule for the skin. It is not harsh on the skin. Since it is mild scrub, scrubbing can be carried on even up to 10 minutes. But lazy, I do the scrubbing only for 5 minutes.



Step 3:  Steam

After the scrubbing I give a hot steam treatment for my face and neck. I use a vaporizer for this method. A thick towel dipped into hot water and drained can also be used for this treatment.


Step 4: Facial Pack Treatment

A pack on the face will complete the facial treatment. I usually prefer a thin layer of the face pack on my face and neck. So, I use 3 spoons of tomato juice, 3 drops of honey and quarter spoon of almond powder. If you need a thick paste, reduce the amount of tomato juice and increase the amount of almond powder. Apply evenly on face and neck and wash after the pack dries.



There….. You have saved lots of your hard earned money.

Vedic Line Red Wine Crystal Collagen Mask Review

Today, I am reviewing a facial mask from Vedic Line called the Crystal Collagen Mask. When I got this one, I noticed the line "For 30+ and mature skin". Oh unlucky me, I am nearly just half a thirty so made my mom to try this. Few lines about Vedic Line brand as per the site are "Vedic Line provides innovative & effective daily care products for Face, Hair & Body.

Vedic Line has optimum combination of Ayurvedic wisdom & modern scientific research. It uses most advanced active & natural ingredients for the best yet safest results. One can enjoy visibly healthier skin & hair initially & significant improvement overtime." Let me give a detailed review now.

Vedic Line Red Wine Crystal Collagen Mask


Price: Rs 250 per mask

Product Description and Ingredient List



My Views and Ratings

The Packaging
The product comes in a plastic wrapper and the mask is parted as 2 (open-able pieces as per the picture). We need to open the pack, drain the excess wine serum and take out the mask. Each piece of mask should be opened and placed on your facial skin. It is not that messy, so I would say the packaging good. No bad I see in it!
5/5


Colour, Consistency and Fragrance
The mask is honey is colour and it perfectly covers the whole face without any hardness and the removing procedure is easy too. To say about the fragrance, it's quite unexplainable. I have never smelt wine before :P but surely not a overpowering fragrance. The mask is too big for my face, so they give a huge size which becomes another plus. Nothing bad! The extra serum is quite thick and smooth too.
4.5/5 




How it Works
This collagen mask instantly brightened and softened my mom's skin however she needed a moisturizer after using this mask as she has extremely dry skin. She says that it had reduced her fine lines, wrinkles and scars up to an extent. Regular usage may repair the facial skin and gives a perfect glow for 30 + people. Overall, its a lovable mask, good to try. Still I expect some hydration. 
4.5/5

PROS
  1. Comes in a safe and travel friendly pack.
  2. No side effects, no breakouts.
  3. Brightens and softens skin instantly. A good pre-party pack.
  4. Firms skin up to an extent.
  5. Not that costly for the worth.
  6. I guess it will give younger skin with regular use.
  7. The mask easily sticks to the face and easily removable too.
  8. The extra serum is an extra plus.

CONS
  1. No cons, Just a little more hydration is needed for dry skins. It surely doesn't strip off moisture.
 My Recommendation: I surely recommend this to 30+ people, especially who have normal and oily skin types.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

Will I Repurchase?: My mom will, for sure. :D
