Homemade Facials, What Is Best for Your Face?


Everyone knows that having a facial done at least four times a year can be amazing for your skin. Those beauty experts have the tools and the know-how to unclog your pores and exfoliate properly. The only thing is you are talking at least $60 dollars a visit.

If you can’t go to a fancy day spa due to lack of time why not pamper yourself at home with a homemade facial. It can be just as effective using real food you have around your kitchen. These can be such things like yogurt or cucumbers. Be careful if you have never used these items before on your face, you would hate to have a allergic reaction to it. If fact never used on your face any food item you are allergic to. It’s a known fact that if you are allergic to a food it will cause you to break out even if you did not eat it.

Whatever food you do use, you should test it on your inner arm before smearing it on your face. Then wait at least one hour to 24 hours before going ahead and trying it out on your face. It’s just to make sure that the spot doesn’t become red or irritated.

Give these four kitchen facials recipes a try, they can make you feel and look younger and you might be tempted to eat the leftovers! Because each of us has different types of skin, its best to try out a recipe geared towards your skin-type.
