Facials from the fridge {Reader’s Tips}

Swathy · June 14, 2012 · 7 Comments

It always seems difficult to find time to make all these recipes to maintain yourself regularly. I found a shortcut to maintain my face – I usually create a base by grinding 1/2 cup oats and 1/2 cup milk powder and store it. Then depending on what I have in the fridge – I mix it in this powder base.

To tighten – mix egg whites and honey into 1 tsp powder base and apply on face, wash off after dry.

To moisturize – add avocado and almond oil into 1tsp powder base and apply – wash off after dry.

To absorb oil – mix egg whites and lemon juice into 1tsp powder base – apply, wash off after dry.

To tone and cleanse – mix yogurt and cucumber juice ( when you grate and press, juice can be extracted, no need to grind) in 1 tsp powder base and apply , rinse after dry.

If the paste is too tight I mix rose water or water to it. And the list goes on – anything you find like fresh fruits – I usually go to the ones that need no grinding or preparation. This really works – try it! As we don’t find a lot of time as working moms with kids…anything easy works!!

Its an awesome tip, Padmaja. Thanks so much 🙂
