Friday morning, my DIY facial day

My son usually takes a nap around 10:30 in the morning; I end up doing this easy Do-It-Yourself facial which lasts for 45 minutes every Friday. Since I have dry skin I use ingredients that are suitable for dry skin.

Cleansing: To cleanse of excess dead cells and oil, I mix 1 teaspoon of dark honey with 1 teaspoon of milk and massage it into face and neck and wash off with water.

Exfoliate: To exfoliate I use a scrub made from some sugar, salt and half a lemon juice. Mix everything together and rub it on your face for 2-3 minutes and wash off with water.

Steam: Now dip a face towel in boiling water, let it cool for sometime and press the towel on your face. Do this for 10 minutes.

The Mask: I find that turmeric give my face a nice glow and I use turmeric and milk in my mask. I mix 1 teaspoon of milk and turmeric powder (add few drops of water to make a paste) and apply on face and neck and leave for 15 minutes to let it dry. Wash the mask off with cold and pat the skin dry.

Moisturize: Avocados and olive oil are good moisturizers and when I don’t have avocados at home I simply apply olive on to hand and rub it on face and neck. If I have avocados I remove the seed and scrape the flesh and apply it on the face and wash it off after 5 minutes. After this simple facial your face would be as soft as a baby’s skin.
