This weekend is Mother's Day, and I thought what would be
better than to share with you guys one of my latest craze. Self made pampering
spa beauty products. To be honest, I have spend a lot a lot of money on beauty
products throughout my 30's years of life and why shouldn't I? All the craze
for skin whitening, pore tightening, acne free, oil free, anti-aging, wrinkle
free, look 20 years kinda products, plus all the promise in the world to make a
woman look 20 or 30 years younger. Okay okay, maybe I got a lil carried away,
but who doesn't at least have 1 beauty product excluding the facial wash? I'm
talking about the stuff that sits nicely on your table top. Yup. The toner,
moisturizer, serum, SPF, mask, eye cream... You get the whole idea.
Today, I'm gonna share with you some of my latest favorite
DIY mask, and scrubs that have so far worked for me and no adverse effect but
all the healthy goodness of pure food for the skin. The saying goes "you are what you
eat" and why shouldn't what you eat be good enough to be applied....
Today, for my first entry of my DIY spa and beauty care, I'm
gonna share with you guys an awesome 2 ingredient cleanser that will remove all
dirt and all the goop that is stuck to your face... You read that right. A 2
ingredient face cleanser. This cleanser is especially so good to use in the
morning, whereby you just have a slight amount of oil on your face from waking
up and you don't feel like using your harsh cleanser? Well, I got good news.
This 2 ingredient cleanser will remove all that. So enough of jibber jabber,
below is the recipe.
2 ingredient face cleanser
2 tablespoon of rolled oats (you can read all the benefits
of rolled oats here) Pic 1
2 tablespoon of gram flour (you can read what is gram flour
and its benefits here) Pic 2 & 2a
A small plastic container for storage Pic 3
Method:
- In a blender, pour the rolled oats and blend finely until
it resembles a flour consistency. The finer, the better. You now have what is
called Oat Flour.
- Take your now oat flour and pour into the plastic
container and add the gram flour to the mixture. Close it tight and give it a
good shake so the ingredients blend and mix well.
- Let this plastic container sit nicely in your shower.
Usage:
- You can use this cleanser on wet or dry face but make sure
no water drips in the container.
- Pour a small amount and mix with a little bit of water and
using your fingers, slowly mix it until it resembles a paste.
- Apply the paste on your whole face and leave for 5 or 10
minutes while you get on your shower business. (You know I know what we are
doing).
- Wet hands a little and scrub of the paste with Luke warm
water.
NOTE:
If you leave it longer on your face, it acts like a mask. If
you apply and wash off immediately, it acts like an instant cleanser. Either
way, it still removes all the dirt and oil from your face without leaving a
dry, flaky, redness to your face.
