During the weekends, you may wanna try making one of these while lazing around the living room reading magazines, or when enjoy watching your favourite drama~ I used to spend my weekend afternoon feeding nutrients to my face.
For lazy babes-

Mix and blend all these ingredients together until it has become a liquid. Then apply it to your face in a circular motion. Wash it off then in 15 minutes. It helps with getting rid of blackheads and cleaning your pores. After your face will be very soft, fresh and shiny. You'll see a new you! - Oatmeal Scrub
Ingredients you need:
- 2 tablespoons regular oatmeal (instant is fine)
- 4 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (Fresh or bottled)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until a paste is formed. Massage it onto cleansed skin and leave on 5-10 minutes. Then rinse with warm water. This is for oily or irritated skin, or skin that has broken out with a few pimples.
- Fruity Face Mask
Ingredients you need:
- 6 or 8 ounces of plain yogurt
- 1 carrot
- 1/2 peach (fresh, not canned)
- 1/2 cucumber, peeled
Chop the carrot, peach, and cucumber into small pieces. Put it in a food processor (or your handy little chopper). Mix it until it becomes a paste. If it turns runny, don't sweat it, it's still fine. Apply the mask to your face and forehead and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse with water.
The mask itself is for deep cleansing and unclogging the pores. The carrots are a natural anti-inflammatory which is good if you have breakouts. Carrots have a soothing property in them. The cucumbers are a softening agent for skin. It refreshes and moisturizes the skin. The peaches have emollient properties, and also soothe inflamed (or not) skin. - Face Food Mask
