Homemade Face Masques:
* MAYONNAISE. Apply whole egg mayonnaise on your face (right from the jar) for about 20 minutes. Rinse with cool water. Great skin care treatment.
* PEACH %26amp; BRANDY. Mash up a peach (use ripe, canned or frozen) and mix in a tablespoon of brandy. Leave it on for 20 minutes, then rinse off.
* TOMATO MASK. For oily skin, mash up a ripe tomato and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm (not hot) water.
* BANANA MASH. Mash up a very ripe banana. Add just enough honey to make a soft pulp. Apply over face and hair.
* HONEY MASK. Apply pure honey (straight from the bottle) to your face and neck. Allow it to set until dry (about 15 minutes). Rinse with very warm water.
* MILK OF MAGNESIA. Apply it straight from the bottle. Let it dry for about five to ten minutes. Rinse off with warm water, then gently pat your face dry with a fluffy towel.
* PEPTO BISMOL. This is a face mask particularly suited for those with sensitive skin. In the same way that this product coats the stomach, it gently caresses the face. Apply it straight from the bottle, using a cotton swab. Allow to dry, then rinse with cool water.
*FOR OILY OR ACNE PRONE SKIN: 1 medium size apple, grated fine combined with 5 tbs. honey
*CARROT: 2-3 large carrots and 4 1/2 tablespoons honey
Directions: Cook carrots, then mash. Mix with honey. Apply gently to the skin, wait 10 minutes. Rinse off with cool water.
*TROPICAL CITRUS MASK: If you want to avoid lots of clean up, before applying this mask cover your face with cheesecloth (with holes cut out for eyes and mouth). Mix together: 1 ripe banana, 1 tsp. Olive oil, 1 drop Orange essential oil. Smooth over face and leave on for 15 - 20 minutes. Rinse off with tepid water. Smooth on a rich moisturizer.
Hair Mask:
*FOR SHINE: Lightly beat two eggs mixed with some milk and run throughout your hair. Leave on for 5 minutes, rinse and you'll see a shine instantly.
*MAYAN HAIR MASK: Ancient Mayan Inca and Aztec women believed that avocados fed the skin from the inside and outside. Make sure you save the avocado pit, setting it in a place where it can dry out. Mix together: 陆 ripe avocado, 1 tbsp. olive oil, 陆 small banana and 1 egg yolk. Gently massage onto hair and scalp and cover with a shower cap. Leave on 1 hour and rinse thoroughly with warm water. Shampoo as usual.
Bath Additives:
*MOOD ENHANCER: Add 1/4 cup of pure vanilla extract to a warm bath. Vanilla has the ability to lift spirits and revive.
*MOOD ENHANCER: Take a handful of pine needles and place them in the foot of old panty hose. Knot around the faucet and let the pine hydrate under running bath water.
*SOFTER SKIN: Take an old sock, fill it with Oatmeal (Quakers is good) and drop into you bath. Immediately softens skin!
Eye Brightener:
*UNDER EYE CIRCLES: To lighten dark circles under your eyes, wrap a grated raw potato in cheesecloth and apply to eyelids for 15-20 minutes. Wipe off the residue and apply an eye cream.
Lips
* HONEY ORANGE LIP BALM: If you like your lip balm to have a thinner, glossier consistency, use more olive oil. If you like a thicker, creamier feel, use less. Heat 2 tbsp. Chopped beeswax in a double boiler until melted. Remove from heat. Slowly pour (up to you) cup olive oil into beeswax and stir to mix. Add 1 陆 tbsp. honey and 5 drops Orange essential oil. Stir continuously to mix until cool. Pour into a clean container with a lid. Tightly seal.
Feet
*BEAUTIFUL FEET: If you take 1 cup Lemon Juice, Cinnamon (for smell), 2 tablespoons (or less) olive oil, 1/4 cup of milk, and water you can make a wash that leaves skin refreshed and fragrant (the amount of water does not matter). If you do not like the cinnamon smell you can replace it with another spice, perfume, or flower petals such as roses. After you make it, you can put it in a tub were you can soak your feet or body. Next dry your feet or rinse them with water and a MILD soap.Tomorrow I have the day to relax and want to have some homemade spa treatments.?
Here are some ideas
STONE THERAPY:
Gather up some dark stones. Flat stones are best beacause they hold the heat for a longer period of time. Its the heat that helps reduse stress and tension...Pick the smoothest rocks and boil them to a very warm comfy temp. place them on any stress points you have (back,neck,feet ect.)
SCALP TREATMENT:
Rub your entire scalp briskly use your knuckles and your finngertips. Grad handfuls of your hair near the roots then gently pull your hair for ten seconds. It works best when wet and you can do this when applys leave in conditioner ect.
GRACEFUL HANDS:
fill a small bowl with warm water a teaspoon of epsome saly if you have any and a few marbles. pLace your hand in the water and roll the marbles around in your hands. This is a great treatment for fingers that type away at the keyboard all day.
Work your musles:
Apply a thin film of bath iol over your shoulders and neck and drape a towl over your shoulders let the towls heat allow the oil to penetrate and relax your muscles.
Face so soft:
Also apply egg white to your face let it sit for about 3-4min then wash off gently with a washclothe. This makes your skin oil free and extreemly soft!
Hope this helps!
Enjoy your day! May it be a relaxing one!
