This homemade face mask recipe is a real eye-opener for me!
I found it in an American magazine at a friend's house.
This recipe helps to get rid of blackheads effectively. It is ideal for the treatment of acne due to hormonal flare-ups.
Baking soda exfoliates and fights acne while the acid in orange juice tightens pores and brightens skin with vitamin C.
It is very easy to do. Here are the instructions:
1. Mix 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed orange juice with 1 tablespoon of baking soda.
2. Add more baking soda if needed to thicken the mask.
3. Spread a thin layer of the mixture on your face. You can also spread some on your neck and décolleté.
4. Leave on for 20 min.
5. Moisten your fingers.
6. Remove the mask by exfoliating with circular movements with your fingertips.
7. Rinse.
There you go, the skin on your face is now soft and pure :-)
Your skin will be dewy afterward, as if you had peeled off a layer of your skin.
- The mask may tingle and itch. In order not to think about it, do your nails or watch television. But above all, don't talk! When the mask dries, any facial movement can cause the paste to crack.
- To remove the remnants of the mask, I use a really soft sponge and then a lotion to soothe the skin.
- If you don't have time to make this mask, mix a little baking soda in your usual facial cleanser. You will then have a fast and effective exfoliating treatment.
