There are many people who are known to be creative and resourceful. With their ingenuity, they managed to create something from the natural resources they have. How to make homemade face masks that are moisturizing and refreshing, while being respectful of the environment. A recipe for masks basically needs some kind of scrutiny and research by the producers. You can’t just mix and match your ingredients, then apply it to your skin. Failure to determine and combine the right ingredients often results in skin allergies and, worst of all, skin diseases. Instead of minimizing acne, some of these homemade face masks have made it worse.
Before applying facial masks or scrubs, one must be able to distinguish their own skin type. Some have acne-prone skin, which is oily. To balance your skin, you should use clay or mud-based masks. We also have dry skin; therefore, there is a need for moisturizing masks with components such as honey, oils and glycerin. Sensitive skin, on the other hand, needs calm. In fact, we can use ginseng or tea to do it. Facial scrubs are applied before facial masks to remove dead skin. The entire process usually takes 15-20 minutes.
I will provide you with a face mask recipe that originated from the Philippines. This recipe only requires ingredients that can be easily found on the market. You just need evaporated milk, or any fluid milk, and calamansi, a native Filipino lime or lemon. In a small bowl, juice the calamansi and remove the seeds. The next step is to add 4 tablespoons of liquid milk. The ratio of calamansi juice and milk depends on the range of acidity you want in the mix. Then, mix them until it sets and transforms into a rich, creamy texture. At this point, your face mask is ready. Before applying it, make sure that your face is clean. Rinse your face with water, then pat dry. After which, wash your fingers and hands too. Apply the mask on your face, up to the neck. Make sure it doesn’t get into your eyes. Leave this on for 15 minutes, or until it dries up and you feel your skin getting tighter. When removing the masks, you should use lukewarm water and then dry. It is very easy to follow this beauty remedy.
However, this recipe does not exist in a vacuum. As well as being an option to relatively expensive face masks, this can also create a livelihood for those women who are constrained by their household responsibilities. A housewife can generate income from the production of this type of beauty remedy. She can improvise more and produce a more sophisticated mix of masks. Given her competitive potential and affordability, she can actually sell it by using her homemade mask in homemade facials.
