At home Facial


 When I was younger, I used to follow this once a week routine, that left me with flawless skin. I got a little lazy as I started working and completely forgot about it over time.

 Those of you who want healthy skin, but don't want to spend time at a beauty salon, try this at home. And guys, this one works great for you too, this routine is not just for women. All the material you need to use is usually available around the house.

 To start off, use an apron or a towel to cover your clothes . Tie up your hair or use a hairband so it will not get in the way. Wash your face with a face wash and pat dry.

 Step 1 (Cleanse) -  Take a table spoon of milk in a bowl. Dip some clean cotton wool in the milk and apply on face and neck. Massage in circular motion for about a minute. Remove the excess milk with cotton and wash off with plain water.


Step 2 (Scrub) - Mix 1 Tspn Besan (Chickpea flour) with 1 tspn sugar , make a paste with rose water. Scrub your face with circular motions until the sugar melts. Wait till the Chickpea flour dries. Wash off with plain water. 

Step 3 (Steam) - Heat water with mint leaves and steam your face. Remove blackheads.

Step 4 (Tone) - Wrap an ice cube in a towel and rub on the face. Apply rose water on cotton wool and dab on face.
