MABH 400 Followers Celebration Contest Entry Post 5 by Chand

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.

Homemade Cleanser for Fair Complexion

I would like to remind you all once again, pale and bleached skin is not beautiful as most of the people think. They run behind a myth called "Fairness". They all need whiter skin, so they bleach it with chemicals and spoils the skin texture. What do you get by bleaching your skin and treating it with chemicals? You can achieve a temporary brightness, also it will never look healthy for sure. Soon after bleaching, you will get allergies and rough skin. No use of worrying after that, so please do avoid chemicals over your skin.

Dark or fair, a skin is beautiful only if it is clean, clear and soft. There are many people who have lovely dark complexion without any blemishes. In this post let me give you some effective natural home remedies which helps skin to get rid of blemishes and get brighter than before. Glowing skin is beautiful!! You have to follow the below cleansing tips without fail to achieve a lovely bright complexion.

ROLE OF CLEANSING IN SKINCARE

Cleansing plays an important role in the health and beauty of your skin. You should choose a perfect cleanser for your skin type seeing whether your skin is oily, dry, or normal. Personally I recommend using Clean and Clear Foaming Facial Wash if you have extremely oily skin and Ponds Daily Face Wash for dry skins. You should keep in mind that in winters, you should be aware of choosing a correct cleanser hence your skin loses excess moisture. I have normal skin and I use Ponds Daily Face Wash in winter :) It cleanses my skin gently without leaving it tight or dry.

HOMEMADE SKIN CLEANSERS FOR BRIGHT FAIR SKIN

Other than these branded products, you can also go for natural homemade cleansers to achieve a beautiful complexion! :) It is so simple to make your own cleanser.

Skin brightening Homemade Cleanser

• Take 2 teaspoons of gram flour, add some green gram powder, few drops of lime juice and half a teaspoon of grounded oats to it.
• Add required water to make a thick paste.
• Apply it over your face and neck and leave it for 10 minutes to work on your skin to remove the impurities and tan.
• After that wet your hands, tap your face gently and scrub the skin with circular motion for 5 minutes.
• Wash off completely with clean and cold water. That's it. This natural cleansing recipe beats even costly branded face washes leaving your skin clean, clear, soft and dirt free. If this is used daily, you can see the difference in your skin within a week. It removes the suntan and improves skin complexion removing the scars and dark spots.

A simple tip, if you have dry skin add a bit of honey to it as it has hydrating properties which nourishes dry skin.

Cleansing should be done twice a day with soap or face wash and more than 5 to 6 times a day with clean fresh water to achieve good complexion fast. Splash fresh water over your face whenever you get time everyday to achieve a lovely bright complexion! :)
