Milk Powder Face Pack {DIY}

Swathy · June 2, 2011 · 11 Comments

An amazingly hydrating face pack for all types of skin except acne prone skin.

Ingredients

Milk Powder (2 small pouches or 2-3 table spoons)
Rose Water

Method: Mix the ingredients in a small bowl. Pour very little of rose water and make a smooth paste. The consistency would be very watery and thin. Apply a thick layer on the face and leave it on til it dries. After 15-20 minutes, the mask starts to harden gradually (it takes a little time) into a white layer on the face. After the complete mask hardens, remove the mask by taking a little water and gently scrubbing it off. Wash off and moisturize.

The result is a supple and brighter skin which feels extremely soft. The mask is so gentle that it can be applied daily.

Tips:

You can use any liquid in place of rose water. I used my Rosemary – Black Pepper toner.

Cleanse your face with Rose Milk {DIY}

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.

The Body Shop Wooden Shaving Brush

So, guys!!! I am back with a little different product review. I went to TBS in February and came across the body shop wooden shaving brush. It was really soft and amazing so I thought about gifting it to a friend of mine who had birthday around the same time.

The Body Shop Wooden Shaving Brush Product Review

Price: Rs 495

Obviously, I haven’t used the body shop wooden shaving brush but only rubbed the bristles on my skin and the bristles are so soft and don’t really hurt the skin at all as opposed to other shaving brushes available. Now, I don’t know how many people still use the shaving brush (since the advent of Gillete gels and foams and all) but it really glides on the skin without hurting it or scratching is what I have been told. It is supposed to have been made from synthetic hair and it really feels so.
