Homemade Skincare Recipes and Masks

[lacheen]

my skin is so allergic i can't use cosmetics so much.so i use these recipes.

i don't know it has been given but the aspirin recipe is my best!

ingredients :

2-3 aspirins

a dab of water

honey less then a spoon

melt the aspirins in water and add honey.stir it up and apply to your face.10 min later clear your face by gently rubbing.when you exfoliate honey will prevent your skin from dryness.

Just wondering.. but has anyone ever tried having a serious allergic reaction to honey+ aspirin on the face? I tried that mask once and it was wonderful, my skin felt so smooth and clean even my mom noticed but an hour or two later my face grew really really lumpy and itchy; I went to the doctor for it and he gave me emo-cortisone but it didn't work. I used spectrojel (love <3) to get rid of it, it took a few days though. This same thing happened to me before as well, but I can't remember if it was also after using aspirin/honey mask...

So i was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else before.. because if it isn't the honey/aspirin mask I want to try that mask again! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

never tried it, sorry ! (i keep aspirin for headaches !)

this is a recipe i found on a quite new french website (i put the link for the french speakers because there's interesting stuff to read).

green tea mask (especially for winter) :

1.mix one teaspoon of white clay (for all types of skin, especially sensitive) with one teaspoon of matcha green tea.

2.add two teaspoons of floral water (chamomile, chamaemelum nobilis). it soothes sensitive skins.

3.add one teaspoon of sesame oil (protects and hydrates).

4.apply it on your face for 10 to 20 minutes. don't let the mask dry, spray some chamomile water on it.

5. take off any residue with a cotton pad (sprayed with chamomile water).

green tea has antioxydant properties, so i thought i'd share.

for those who don't know, the matcha tea is used in Japan for the tea ceremony. it is for that reason more expensive and sold in small quantities (i've seen so far only 40g boxes). you can find it in tea stores or in japanese grocery stores. it has the color and smells like grass. and it colors your cakes in green /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks for the tips! I will be trying the slimming legs one with the seaweed wrap. Much cheaper than going to the spa!

 

[magosienne]

you're totally right ! spa is just so expensive !

a quite easy and cheap recipe for a face mask :

you will need a bowl, saucepan or inhaler filled with boiled water, and 3 drops of ylang ylang essential oil. wrap your head in a towel (to keep the heat) and put your face over the bowl for five minutes, it will help open the pores and purify them. it's for normal to dry skins. let your skin cool down then apply a floral water.

I highly recommend this! It is a quick way to feel groomed - I always use this before a party, and it works very well. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I don't know if anyone's posted anything like this [i only skimmed the thread] but I didn't see anything about a lip exfoliant so..

-- All you need is petroleum jelly and a child's tooth brush [extra soft bristles are the best].

Spread a generous layer of petroleum jelly on your lips.

Rinse the tooth brush with water, remove some of the excess, and gently scrub in a circular motion.

You may need to repeat.

I like to use Einstein Lip Therapy [cooling lip relief] as a moisturizer afterward.

I've read that sugar and almond oil is a good lip exfoliant as well.
