- Essentials of Facial Beauty
- by Kristine Llabres
At this moment, not only women
are meticulous and particular in their skin tone and looks but
also men who are conscious of their appearance and how they will
carry themselves and interact with other people.
Nowadays, a face pack does not
only cleanse your skin and pores but it also helps in maintaining
the tautness and balance of your skin. There are different face
packs according to your skin type, so choose the one that suits
you.
Dry Skin Pack
|
The dry skin is usually flaky
and dull looking around the eyes and cheeks. That is why it needs
to be moisturized well. Wash your face with milk and oatmeal
instead of ordinary soap since the milk moisturizes and nourishes
the skin while the oatmeal acts as an exfoliate agent.
To have extra moisturizer, make
a pack with a mixture of ten almonds, two spoons oatmeal, four
tablespoons of full cream milk, two spoons china clay, juice
of half a lemon and one mashed avocado. Apply it gently on your
face then leave for twenty minutes. Dampen cotton wool with cold
milk and wipe it off. Finally, splash your face with cold water
and apply light moisturizer. |

Oily Skin Pack
The oily skin has active sebaceous
glands that secrete more oil leaving the skin greasy and dull
thus it attracts a lot of dirt which then clogs the pores. It
definitely needs a thorough cleansing routine to remove the surface
grime and unclogged the pores.
You need a pack that rejuvenates,
tightens and exfoliates skin. You can mash six strawberries with
a teaspoon of Brandy, two spoons of breadcrumbs, two spoons of
fuller's earth and a few drops of rose water. Mix those well
then apply a thick layer on the face and neck and leave it for
twenty minutes.
Strawberries have Vitamin C and
certain acidic properties they leave the skin sparkling clean.
The breadcrumbs help to exfoliate dead skin while fuller's earth
will tighten the pores and brandy would help to add some glow.
Combination Pack
With this type of skin, usually
the nose and forehead are oily then the eyes and cheeks are dry.
Cleanse the center zone with an astringent while dab the rest
of the face with cold milk then apply a pack made of half a cup
of powered, dry peas mixed with three spoons of curd, juice of
one lemon and half a cup of papaya pulp. Apply it then leave
again for twenty minutes, after rinse off with cold water. Better
still to rub an ice cube dipped in rose water over the T-Zone.
Always see to it that your face
is clean, free from harsh chemicals and is radiant and flawless.
Avoid exposure in different pollutants and always be protected
against ultraviolet rays. Take a lot of care and be extra beautiful
inside-out! |
