Taking Care of Your Skin

It is Important for us to take care of our skin .
Here are a few "Home Made"  tips :

1. Rub a lemon half gently over your face and any other areas you'd like to lighten. Let the juice sit until dry, then rinse off with warm water. Avoid the sun when doing this treatment!

2. Take 1tsp (5mL) of milk and 1 tsp (5mL) of honey. Mix them together and massage into your face. Use nonfat milk for oily skin, and whole milk or cream for dry skin.

3. Grind 1/2 cup (120mL) of dry azuki beans to a coarse flour consistency. Then pour about 2 teaspoons (10mL) of the mixture into the palm of your hand. Add water to make a paste, and massage gently into your face. Store remaining powder in a plastic bag

Homemade Masks : 

1. Combine one teaspoon (5mL) of turmeric and three tablespoons (45mL) of lime to make a mask. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water. This will stain clothing, so be careful!

2. Beat an egg white until frothy, then apply to your face. When it dries, throughly wash off. Do not use this mask on broken skin!

3. Mix 2 tablespoons (30mL) of honey with two tablespoons (30mL) plain yogurt. Leave it on your face for about 20 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.

4. Mash one soft avocado with one cooked carrot. Add a half cup (120mL) of heavy cream, 1 egg and a dab of honey. Spread over your face and neck, and leave on for 15 minutes before rinsing off with cool water.
