Home Made Facial Masks
In this post I will discuss a few ways you can make facial masks at home which are as effective as getting a facial from a spa without spending hundereds of dollars each year. I will also include a few tips from a guest on Nadia Khan Show, Rima Soni. She is a beauty consultant based in Dubai and specialize in treating skin with natural ingredients.
Dry Skin
Egg yolk, few lemon drops, 1/2 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp of olive or almond oil. Mix well and apply on skin, avoiding eye area ofcourse. Wash with cool water when mask is dry. This mask also tightens the skin!

Oily Skin
Egg white, 1/2 tsp honey, with few lemon drops. Apply on skin and wash with cool water when mask dries.
Acne
Egg yolk can be applied on skin to heal blemishes. You can also try 1 tsp cinnamon powder mixed with honey. Apply and leave it on for 1 hour every day. Wash with cool water. This mask will start to dry the pimples without drying the skin.
Dull Skin
Egg yolk, 1/2 tsp honey, 2 drops lemon juice, and almond powder. Mix and apply on skin. Wash with cool water when dry. It will exfoliate the skin.
For Open Pores
1 tsp lemon, 1/2 tsp honey, dilute with water
or
1 tsp tomatoe juice, 1/2 tsp honey and apply on skin for 30 minutes. Wash with cool water
Sooth Tired Skin and Clear Acne Marks
Yogurt mixed with oats powder. Make a paste and apply on skin. Wash with cool water when mask is dry.
Facial Scrub
Mash strawberries, add almond powder to make a paste. Apply to skin, wash when the mask dries.
Skin Whitener
Strawberries also work as a skin whitener. You can also rub raw papaya on your skin to whiten.
Toner
Rose water can be applied to skin as a toner. It is very inexpensive plus it smells really good.
I will be posting more tips in coming day. Any questions, comments are welcomed.

NATURAL CLEANSER - GET THE GLOW!
I have always believed in the old natural ways for skin care rather than using harsh face washes and masks. Try these trick to liven up dead dull skin and get the glow without spending a fortune! The ingrediants can be easily found in your own kitchen...
Lets start with a cleanser. My personal recommendation for a cleanser is...Yogurt!
Yes, its true...yogurt is the best face wash out there...well you can also use milk but I prefer yogurt because it is easier to apply (by the way I heard that Cleopatra used to bath in milk...hmmm...I bet she had the softest skin). Anyway, every morning massage your face with yogurt for a minute or so and then wash it off with water...you will see the difference immediately...........it leaves your skin soft and smooth and the best part... you will love this one...it won't dry out your skin :))
Yogurt can also be used as a mask, especially in summer when the skin is exposed to harsh sun. Leave the yogurt on your face for 15 to 20 minutes and then wash it off. You can use this mask every day if you like.
In the next few days I will be talking about different types of masks for different skin types. In addition, how to get the shine and elasticty back in your hair after years of coloring and blow drying.Well that is it for today. Any questions, comments are welcomed.
