I saw this in a magazine yesterday so I decided to share with you guys :)
LEMON AND HONEY CLEANSER
How?
Squeeze 1/2 a lemon into a bowl, add 2 tbsp of honey. Mix it with a spoon until it’s a liquid consistency. Apply it all over a clean face avoiding eye area. Leave on for 15-20 min and rinse off. If you’re feeling really adventurous, try and sleep with it on.
Why?
Honey :
Honey is a natural antibacterial and anti-infammatory. It absorbs impurities from the pores and the skin. Ancient beauties used honey and milk on their skin regularly to keep their complexion looking young, radiant and smooth. You can use honey as a wash, toner or mask. And you can mix it with so many other ingredients depending on your needs (apples, pumpkin, papaya. yogurt).
Lemon :
Lemon brightens and exfoliates. It’s great for acne prone skin, age and sun spots or uneven skin tone. It is also a natural source of vitamin C and rich in alpha hydroxy acids.(giving skin a smoother appearance)
RED WINE FACIAL SCRUB
How?
Place 1 cup of yogurt in a bowl. Add honey and red wine. Whisk it together and apply liberally to face. Let all ingredients soak in and then rinse with warm water.
Why?
Red wine benefits more than just your heart. Resveratrol, an antioxidant in red wine, also provides anti-aging benefits for your skin. This facial combines red wine with honey, which helps with blemishes and redness, and yogurt, a great moisturizer.
CLEANSING GRAINS
How?
Create your own cleansing grains by grinding almonds or oats into a fine powder and mixing with liquid to form a paste.
Suitable liquids include:
- milk, cream or yogurt for dry skin
- lemon juice or water for oily skin
- water, honey, peppermint tea or glycerin for normal skin
To use cleansing grains: gently massage paste into skin, avoiding the eyes. Wash off with warm water.
Other grains that are suitable for creating a gentle exfoliating cleanser are: cornmeal, ground sunflower seeds, baking soda, wheatgerm, and rice bran.
Why?
Cleansing grains gently exfoliate as well as clean the skin.
