DIY Peel Off Mask

Although many of you follow my DIY Fruit Facials, this is the first time I have posted a recipe for a Peel Off Mask. I’m constantly on the look out for new Do-It-Yourself  skin treatments. Be sure to “Like” my Facebook so you’ll be the first to view new recipes!

First off, in case you’re new to the world of DIY you should be aware of the big benefits to making your own skincare recipes. When you make something yourself, you gain the relief of knowing exactly what you’re putting on your skin. You can skip out on those additives and preservatives. Another great benefit of DIY is you almost always save money. I can’t think of a  time I spent more money on one of my Fruit Facials than on something i’ve purchased at my local beauty store.

DIY Peel Off Mask:

1) Beat the white of an egg

2) Apply the egg white on your face and neck. Be sure to avoid the eye and mouth areas. (use a generous amount, but there is no need to apply a heap of egg white)

3) Take a thin tissue, place it gently over your egg white brushed face. Pat gently one by one to cover fully. (In some cases you will need a double layer)

4) Apply another layer of egg white over tissue and leave it on to dry.

5) When completely dry, gently peel-off the tissue in an upward direction from the face– Take a look at  all of the black heads and yucky stuff on the tissue!

6) Wash off your face with luke warm water and apply a gentle moisturizer.

Ta-Da! Now you can bask in the glory of your fantastic results! Be sure to comment and let me know what you think of this DIY Peel mask <3

*DIY* Fruit Facial Friday: Pumpkin

Pumpkin makes an excellent ingredient for a homemade facial because it is rich in nutrients like Vitamins E & C and the mineral Zinc. When used in facial masks it helps Moisten and Tone the skin.

Some of you may be thinking that a Pumpkin is technically a Squash- not a Fruit. Well since a Pumpkin does grow on a vine,  i’ve deemed it Fruit Facial Friday worthy :D

*DIY* Fruit Facial Friday: On The Go

I’m happy to announce: Fruit Facial Fridays are back by popular demand! Unfortunately YouTube has been having some (very inconvenient) technical difficulties so this Fruit Facial Friday is being posted on Tuesday instead of last Friday :P

Why do an at home Fruit Facial?:

When you do your own Fruit Facials, you can be sure that you are only using the best ingredients on your skin. NO additives, Nothing Artificial, Just Sheer ingredients. I’ve sworn by my Fruit Facials for years. I have different ones for all skin types and you can check back every Friday to see new ones. I honestly think these do more for my skin than any store-bought product i’ve ever tried. And the best part is that most of my ingredients are VERY affordable. Once you try these, you will fall in love. Your friends will all be asking why you have such amazing skin :)

The great thing about this Fruit Facial is that it is designed with the busy girl (or guy!) in mind. You don’t need a blender , you don’t have to heat anything up, and you only need 3 ingredients! Suitable for all skin types. Just follow a few simple steps and you’re good to go!

To see the video click here. Or here to see past Fruit Facial Fridays.

Be sure to watch my video on how to prep your skin before one of my Fruit Facials.

What You Will Need:

  • A bowl to mix ingredients
  • Measuring spoons
  • A fork or any mashing/ mixing tool

Ingredients:

  • 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Teaspoon honey
  • About 2 inches of a ripe banana.

Instructions:

  • Mash up banana in your bowl of choice until you have a chunky paste. It doesn’t have to be perfectly smooth.
  • Add 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
  • Next add 1/2 Teaspoon honey
  • Mix until well blended.
  • Immediately apply your Fruit Facial to a small patch of your (clean, makeup free) face. Wait for about 5 minutes to make sure that you don’t have any bad reactions to the facial (Occasionally people will have reactions to even the most natural ingredients, so it’s important to follow this step).
  • Next, gently apply the fruit facial to the rest of your face and neck area.
  • Leave on for about 10-15 minutes (or even 5 if you’re in a big hurry)
  • Gently rinse your face with luke warm water until the Fruit Facial mixture is completely gone. Pat dry.

It’s really amazing to see how well these work to repair and improve skin.

Please comment and let me know how you liked your Fruit Facial!
