Facial Mask and Scrub

I love a good pampering session. Even if I am being extremely lazy I take out time and whip up a mask of my own. You all should too. Boy or Girl, Mama or Papa taking out time to take care of your self it very important.
Everyone is the best judge of their own skin type. You know what you like and what suits you best. (Peeling masks and I don't get along (¬o¬)

For facial mask there is no need to get all fancy spansie! Go natural! We all have something at home that is organic ..Some kinda fruit, veg, yogurt ...USE!


I know a gazillion types of face mask. Some rocked my skin others well..... It's always herbal and my skin does get cleaned up but sometimes that magic doesn't reflect on my skin. By the Grace of Almighty nothing has ever gone wrong.  

I'll be telling you a lot of homemade Masks and Scrubs but you all have to try them.

Listen, everyday cleansing is a must and scrubbing 2ice a week or at least once a week is required (Remove that dead skin). 


This week try the rice mask. Some of you already know others would like WWuhhh!! Rice. Yes Rice! I will not be mentioning a brand but it sell its rice mask at a very high price.I did use it and it's as good as the one I make. Rice is still used as the key ingredient for some of the most popular Asian skincare products today and it's not a surprise at all because there's just so many skin benefits from using rice as a beauty agent. 

This mask can be applied different ways. 


After washing, apply desired amount onto face, focusing on nose area while avoiding eye and mouth areas. Wait 10 to 15 minutes, and then wash off with warm water. 


You will need Rice

1 cup of rice.

1st Type:

Use 3 tbsp of rice and grind it finely.
Sieve if you think it's grainy. 

Now mix it with 3 tbsp of milk you can even add honey.
 

Apply mask for 15 mins, wash and moisturize.

If you grind it to grainy bits you can mix it with honey and turn it into a scrub.

2nd Type

I cup of rice add 2 cups of water and let it sit for 15 mins. Stir for 1 min. Then drain your rice and put the water in the empty container.

Take a cotton pad and use that water as a toner and ever as a moisturizer. 


If you want to go for a mask you will need a paper towel or Kleenex and make holes for eyes, nose and mouth. It should look like this:


It should look like this unfolded


Fold it and dip it in rice water. Squeeze excess and apply. 

N.B. Sometimes when my skin is really dry so I add moisturizer.

What my friend does is that she make bigger holes around nose and mouth and sleeps in. 

After using this you will find you skin brighter softener,
Clearer complexion, and reduced dark spots/acne scars. xxox
