The world of beauty doesn’t necessarily need to involve high expenditure on elite cosmetic products from recognised brands. Sometimes the best face treatments can be done with household items.
The grocery products required for this easy yet effective treatment can be obtained from any supermarket such as Keells Super. All you need are two spoons of rice flour, a cup of cooled down green tea, and half a spoon of honey. Mix the ingredients have been mixed together until a fine paste formed. Apply this paste to your face and keep it on for about twenty minutes, or at least till the mask has completely dried up. Afterwards massage your face in circular motions to remove the dead skin cells and rinse off the mask with cold water. This is recommended to be done in the morning before a bath.
Simply mix together a tablespoon of cooked oats with a tablespoon of lemon juice and mix together to form a paste. Once applied, the mixture should be left for a duration of twenty minutes. After washing off the mixture with cold water, gently dry your face with a soft clean towel by patting instead of rubbing. This should also be done in the morning prior to a shower or bath.
This treatment requires a tablespoon each of gram flour, turmeric, lemon juice, and milk. Once a smooth paste is formed by mixing all the ingredients together, apply it to your face while gently massaging it over a time-span of five minutes. Once the paste has dried up over a period of twenty minutes, gently wash it off with cold water and dry your face with a soft towel being sure to pat instead of scrub.
This exceptionally simple and soothing mixture requires only two ingredients, turmeric and tomato juice, in a quantity of a tablespoon each. Once the ingredients have been put together, apply the resulting mixture on to your face and keep it for fifteen minutes. After that, simply rinse it off with cold water. Tomatoes contain lycopene, an antioxidant that protects your skin from UV radiation. Lycopene also works as a very effective agent when it comes to battling signs of aging.
Once you’ve collected some orange peels, you need to place them in the sun to dry, and grind them to a powder once the drying process is complete. After you have your powder, add a tablespoon of unsweetened and unflavoured yoghurt. Mix together to form a paste and apply it evenly to your face. Leave it to dry for duration of twenty minutes and rinse it with cold water once the time has elapsed. The Vitamin-C present in oranges combined with the properties of the yoghurt fights off skin decolouration, signs of aging, and provides an attractive glow. The yoghurt also helps retain moisture and therefore this is will be a welcome effect if you suffer from dry skin.
