D-I-Y Mask

I've started a new hobby. Do-It-Yourself masks.
My skin was getting duller and duller due to lack of facial care. I only wash my face once in the morning and once at night with a simple over-the-counter facial cleanser. It was an eye opener when I came across a magazine discussing bout affordable masks, right out from the fridge!

I read on and discovered,

HONEY - Strong anti-inflammatory agent that prevents infections and reduces the existing ones when applied on problem or sensitive skin type.

EGG - Egg whites cleanse, exfoliate and tighten; where egg yolks moisturize, feed, and soothe your skin.

MILK - Has role of enzymes, some anti-inflammatory, reduces swelling and ease the tension in the skin effect. For a smooth and fair skin.

LEMON - Acid in lemon tightens up the enlarged and clogged pores, cleanse the oily and unclean skin.

Voilà!

So... I invented my own mask :D

- 1 tablespoon of honey + 1 egg -

- fresh milk -

- Beat the mixture till fluffy -

- A few drops of lemon juice -

Then.. soaked it in cotton balls and rub all over the face.. I soaked some facial cotton with the mask and leave it on my face for 30 minutes. Then washed it off with lukewarm water and finally a splash of cold water to "close" the pores.

And..

Yeap, I got a fresh, glowing face for dinner that night! Yay!

Beauty secrets to die for...
"For attractive lips,
speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes,
seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure,
share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair,
let a child run his fingers through it once a day.
For poise,
walk with the knowledge you never walk alone."
