Cleanse your face with Rose Milk {DIY}

· · 3 Comments

Rose Milk DIY at Perfect Skin Care for you
I had posted about the DIY rose milk I made couple of days back. I used it to cleanse my face at night with it without using any cleanser. Since the texture of the milk is scrubby but not spiky so it is perfect for a 2-in-1 cleansing at night. The cleansing action of the rose milk is due to the lactic acid present in milk so I am not sure how well the rose milk made from water would cleanse the skin.
Take a little of the rose milk in your hand and rub it on your face just like a cleanser. Massage the face very gently. The soft rose petals do not exfoliate the skin as such such but they feel nice against the skin and make the skin super soft. It can be drying for some too so following with a moisturizer is very important. But, it cleanses the face really well.
I do not wear makeup and I wasn’t even wearing kajal so I am not sure how well it will remove the makeup though it can be used in conjunction with the makeup remover.

How to make Rose Milk {DIY}

· · 5 Comments

I did a very interesting DIY lately so sharing the recipe with you.
Ingredients:
  • Rose petals
  • Milk / Water
Method: You can soak the rose petals overnight in milk or make the rose milk from fresh flowers. If you are soaking petals overnight, then pour enough milk to cover the rose petals and no more otherwise it might spill while blending. Blend the petals in milk. The texture would be scrubby instead of being plain milky. You can use this milk in any beauty routine. 

I have used pink, maroon and red roses so the result was a pretty purple. I haven’t yet figured how to use the milk so will post on it later. This will probably stay for two weeks in the fridge but I made it in not a very huge quantity so it will get finished before two weeks. 

Important:

  • Oily skin people should stay away from milk and dairy products so you can soak the petals in water.
  • You can also use essential oils in the milk.

So, king of fruits and this is the season for the king. So, make way for him in your daily diet and in your skin regimes. Of course, keep a control because it has high levels of sugar. So, what does mango do for the skin. It is moisturizing and makes the skin soft and smooth.
Ingredients: 
  • Multani Mitti
  • Mango pulp
Mix both the ingredients and create a face pack of smooth consistency. Apply a thick layer over a clean damp skin. Wait for 15-20 minutes. This one doesn’t dry out like the regular clay masks so it is easy to remove. Scrub lightly while removing and wash off with cold water. Moisturize. Your skin will be soft and supple by next morning. It also increases hydration in the skin.
Warning:
  • Do not use the skin of the mango for any beauty activity. It can cause mild to severe skin irritations.
Tips: 
  • Always apply face masks over damp skin. It increases penetration. Use hot water to open the pores for more penetration and absorption.
  • For removing the face packs, use dry cotton. It removes the face packs much more easily than wet cotton pads or wet wipes. This tip applies to the face packs which are creamier and do not dry on skin like clay masks. For clay masks, you have to use wet wipes or cloth or cotton pads.
