Directions:

Glowing Facial Mask
You will love your radiant skin after using this recipe.
All you need is:
1 tbsp fuller’s earth
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp mashed papaya
Mix and put on face for 20 minutes then rinse off.
Honey Mask
Perhaps the best facial mask is honey.
Place a cloth in warm water and apply to your face to open the pores. Smear on honey, and leave on for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water, then use cold water to close the pores.
Use once a week.
Skin Face Sauna
A good deep cleansing treat is to give your face a sauna. This is especially good for congested skin.
You need to fill a bowl with near boiling water and add four drops of each of the essential oils recomended for your skin type.
NORMAL : Mandarin and Lavender.
OILY : Lemon and Eucalyptus.
DRY : Rose and Camomile.
Place a towel over your head and hold it over the bowl from a distance of about 30cm for a period of around two minutes. This opens the pores and prepares it for a face mask.
You should not use a face sauna if you have sensitive skin, are pregnant or suffer from asthma.
is there any specific age that you should be using mask at or any other specific requirements?
I dun have much complains about my skin but I feel like trying one of these face masks.. is it a good idea to go ahead considering you might not need it or probably you dunno if you really need it or what... I am just scared to try one because my skin is way too sensitive like it can't even stand any make up at all!
I have sensitive skin and over the years have come to the conclusion that if you dont need it, Dont use it.
My sis has the similar skin but uses all manner of potions and masks and crams
Quite often she'll have skin problems, whereas I, who tend to use hardly anything have clear skin.
Daisy, I find that too. Very rarely do I use make-up, skin is clear and for forty practically wrinkle free. My sister ladles it on, her skin is a mess. Besides the natural look (unless a special occasion) is always better.
blushing_vision - Thank you, the skin sauna looked interesting. The one thing I always had and wished I could change are those circles under the eyes, do you have anything for that?
can anybody reccommend a good face mask for sensitive skin...i have spots so dont want to make them worse somthing which will give me a glowing effect! inshallah meeting my hubby tomorrow so wanna look goooood!
minah_pa, are you talking about circles under the eyes? That’s been discussed here quite a bit. It could be your diet - too much salt, not enough water or lack of sleep. You could try putting tea bags or cucumbers on your eyes. I don’t know if this actually helps, but some people swear by it. Or you could try putting some teaspoons that you put in the freezer for a few minutes onto your eyes. I have an eye mask that I got from the Body Shop. It helps take away the puffiness and reduces the circles … and it’s quite relaxing too.
Check out these two old threads … lots of tips in them.
Thank you MehnazQ, I'll read them now - been a lifetime thing and I cut salt out of everything I eat, my mom hardly used it either. Maybe water, ugh, have to force myself to drink the few cups that I do.
well if it's somethign that's been life long and nothing helps, then just try a really good undereye concealor. i know u dont wear much makeup, but a lil concealor desn't hurt :)
it used to be acne but there just like small red dots on my skin now, before they were very lumpy and had red or white heads, on my cheek and chin area!
yes he came back a few weeks ago,ive not moved in with him yet so i dont see him so much obviously! so when i do see him i want to look firing lol. saw him last friday…i get all nervous when i meet him still, i get really shy and then i cant speak ot him properly and then after i feel like kicking myself for all the things which i should have said!
