Still on the topic of face treatments I'd like to share with you another cost-effective and all natural facial care tips!
As I've said in my previous post, exfoliation and a good moisturizer are keys to a healthy and beautifully glowing skin which we can achieve through facial scrubs and facial mask.
You may ask what is a facial mask and how different is it from a facial scrub. Well as I've explained in my previous post facial scrub exfoliates. By rubbing the formula against the skin it cleans the skin thoroughly by unclogging dirt from the pores and remove dead skin. Facial mask is applied differently. For one, the formula will just be put on the face and has to stay for a few minutes. Facial mask can tighten your pores, remove excess oil from the skin, or moisturize and replenish dry skin.
Though I love going to the spa, face treatments are something I love to do in my free time at home.
Here is a general procedure to do a facial scrub --
I am one person who do not run out of fruit thus this recipe is quite convenient for me. I either use banana or avocado for this recipe. Just mash them and use them as mask. If the mashed fruit is too dry blend it with a little honey. Apply as step # 4 in the above described general procedure for facial mask.
Other options...
Since face treatments are self-pampering activities some of you may opt for ready to use yet cost-effective and all natural facial mask. I'm ALL for that too! In fact I alternate them with my fruity formula above.
As an alternative to my fruity facial mask you may get facial mask with Vit. A and E. You may also try the mud mask which is good for detoxifying. There are available formulas in the market and the nice thing is, most of them are just home fragrance! Meaning they're friendly to the nostrils and are soothing and refreshing. Awesome, isn't it?!
So what are you waiting for? Get the right facial mask for you! It can do you wonders!

Here is a general procedure to do a facial scrub --
- Pull hair back into a ponytail, or just tie it anyway you want.
- Wash face thoroughly.
- Scrubs are most effective when the skin is soft and exfoliated.
- Apply the MASK you just prepared to face avoiding the eye area and let it stay for 20 minutes.
- Rinse off with warm water.
- Enjoy and be proud of the results!
