Homemade Facial Recipes

Nothing's more satisfyingly exquisite than a pampering facial treatment. But giving your face a superb treat in an upscale spa would mean burning a hole on your pocket!

Interestingly, it is possible to whip up your own moisturizing facial mask and scrub using ingredients that are readily available in your kitchen. Here are some examples you can try:

Oatmeal Facial Scrub

• Mix 1/4 cup finely ground oatmeal, 1/4 cup finely ground cornmeal, 1 teaspoon honey, and one teaspoon fresh milk. Make paste. Rub in circular motions over face and neck, avoiding the eye area. You may leave mixture on face for 10 minutes. Rinse with water.

Oatmeal Exfoliant

• Combine 2 heaped teaspoons of fine oatmeal and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Add enough water to make a paste. Apply to skin and rub lightly. Rinse after a few minutes then gently pat dry.

Corn oil Exfoliant

• Mix 1 teaspoon corn oil and sugar to make a paste consistency. Gently massage on face for 15 minutes then rinse well.

Egg yolk Facial Mask

• Cut medium-sized orange or lemon into half then squeeze it to one beaten egg white. Apply to face and leave for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

Avocado Facial Recipe

• Mash avocado meat into a creamy texture. Massage in circular motion on face and neck. Leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse off gently. 

Making your own facial care regimen at home can help you get the feeling of upscale luxury without paying top peso!.

Note: Wash your face with soap before applying any recipe.
