So, here are some simple recipes with awesome results. Give them a try:
Apricot, Honey And Kernel Oil Mask
Ingredients:
- Apricot – 1 small
- Honey – 2 teaspoons
- Kernel oil – (1/2) teaspoon
Preparation:
Clean and wash the apricot, remove its skin, and cut it into halves. Discard the seed of the fruit and mash it into smooth pulp by using your hand. You can also make small dices of the apricot and crush them in a blender. Now, add honey and kernel oil to the apricot pulp and combine well to form a rich paste of thick consistency. Cleanse and dampen your face with plain water and apply the mask all over it. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Once it starts drying, rinse gently with lukewarm water. Use this mask at least once every week for maximum results. Try to use honey in its thicker form for a richer paste. If kernel oil is not available, you can skip it.
Apricot, Honey And Brown Sugar
Ingredients:
- Apricot – 1 small
- Honey – 1 tablespoon
- Brown sugar – 1 teaspoon
Preparation:
Peel the skin off the cleaned and washed apricot. Cut it into two parts and take the seed away. Mash the soft pulp with your fingers or in a blender to make a smooth puree that is free of lumps. Pour honey into it. Also, add brown sugar. Now, mix all the ingredients nicely until (3/4)th of the sugar melts. Apply the thick, sticky paste to your damp face evenly and massage into the skin for a few minutes. Leave it on for 15 minutes and then, wash off with tepid water. Use it twice every week for visible outcomes. You can use this mixture as a facial scrub to get rid of dirt, oil, and dead skin cells.
