Soften Your Skin with Home Made Face Packs

October 9, 2009


The smooth, soft skin that we all possess as babies is lost as we age. Being exposed to the vagaries of weather and harsh cosmetics takes it toll. Mental stress is also a contributing factor in the aging of our skin. However, it is possible to get back the glow on your face provided you make a little effort. There is no need to resort to expensive skin treatments either. A few home remedies will do the trick and you will soon be able to get a smooth and soft skin.

Banana mashed with milk can make a wonderful face cleanser. Leaving it on for a period of about 20 minutes before washing it off with cold water will make your face glow positively.

Applying honey on your face for the same period of time will also soften the skin of your face. Rinsing off the entire sticky substance with cold water is mandatory if you want to get the maximum benefit of this wonderful ingredient. Mixing the white of an egg with honey also helps to tighten the skin considerably.

A face scrub made with walnut powder, honey and lemon juice can exfoliate your face thoroughly leaving it squeaky clean. Rubbing a piece of the tropical fruit papaya also helps to soften the facial skin.

A mixture of turmeric in orange juice acts both as a cleanser and astringent. The skin benefits from the antiseptic effects of turmeric as well.

Keeping on a mask made of mashed banana, honey, lemon juice and butter overnight will help to soften rough textured skin to a great extent. You can also try applying the paste on all exposed parts of your body like the neck, hands and feet

The water used for boiling cabbage can be used to wash the face in order to lighten the or pigmentation marks.

Applying Vaseline after a shower will help to keep your skin supple too. Showering once again after an hour of Vaseline application is necessary for getting rid of the excess Vaseline from your body.
