Free Online Kitchen Cosmetics
The Next Eco Fair has been cancelled due to the current situation, so Friends of the Earth decided to go on a Virtual Eco Fair. It will start tomorrow ! And I am proud to say that I will be part of it ! I offer a Kitchen Cosmetics session, making Body scrub, Facial Scrub and Facial Mask.
You will find the best ingredients in your kitchen cupboards! This honey and lemon mask for the face does wonders!
This facial mask is suitable for all skin types, but is particularly intended for oily skin. Used once a week, it helps to tighten pores and refine skin texture, but also to cleanse, help scarring, and reduce sebum production – responsible for your shine.
Easy to make, this very simple and very cheap mask is soft for the epidermis, and gives your skin the tools in the long term to regulate its sebum secretion: you have pretty mat skin!
Lemon: cleanser
Ideal for making war on pimples, lemon juice has many advantages: it disinfects, cleanses, brightens. Thanks to the lemon, this mask devastates in a few minutes the most resistant of blackheads! Indeed, the acidity of the citrus encourages the dilation of the pores, where unwanted ones nestle. You just have to gently remove them!However, you must be careful when using lemon: it is photosensitizing. In other words, do not expose yourself especially during or just after having made this mask: the sun could print on your skin indelible stains! In summer, do it rather in the evening before going to bed.
Honey: kitchen superhero item for cosmetics
This ingredient acts like a natural antibiotic: it purifies the skin in depth, and remove encrusted bacteria. It is a powerful astringent and an active tensors: the pores are tightened and wrinkles are blurred!
Best friend of oily skin, honey treats the epidermis with a grip but without aggressiveness, with the result a pretty uniform skin that breathes freshness!
You might know that honey has tons of advantages and possible uses to explore. For example you can use it as a shampoo to add a creamy treat to your hair : heat 1 tablespoon of honey in 3 tablespoons of water, until the honey is melt (15 to 30 seconds) and then use it as a shampoo. You may use shortly because it expires very quickly. Honey can last a very long time, but as soon as it is melt with water it expires quickly.
Yogurt : antibacterial
It can be cow milk yogurt, or soya yogurt or a Greek yogurt for its texture. It contains zinc which help skin against acne and oily skin. Yogurt is antibacterial, probably because of the lactic acid content. Yogurt also contains lactic acid, which will trigger the elimination of dead skin trapped in the pores. This mask that contains yogurt promotes hydration, elasticity and brightening of the complexion.
