Are you feeling sad that no skin treatment is giving you colour complexion? By doing certain skin treatments at home it’s possible to increase your skin colour. I am providing you three simple methods. You can use these facials and spa once in a week to get a beautiful and glowing skin. If you use these treatments regularly you can get better results. Also avoid sun light exposure as much as possible to avoid skin darkening.
Before applying these treatments, do clean your face using any cleansing lotion and can apply a scrub as well. Scrub removes unwanted dead cells making your skin clear, smooth and well-polished.
Fruit facial
Take a well ripened robusta banana and peel off its skin. Take a few strawberries as well. Grind both to a fine paste by adding 3 spoons curds and apply on your face and neck. Keep massaging gently with upward strokes for 15 minutes. Take an orange and peel of its skin. Then gently massage your skin for 5-10 minutes and wash it off. Now it’s time for face pack. Crush one robusta with 2 tea spoon honey and four tea spoon milk and apply on face as pack. Allow it to dry well and clean your face after 20 minutes. It’s a natural facial without the application of any man made massaging creams or packs.
Flower facial
Cook some carrot and marigold flowers. Mix both of them and make a fine paste. Add almond oil and massage your face for 15 minutes. In half cup warm water add Indian rosebay (Nandyarvattom), lotus petals and marigold flowers. When it cools crush all the ingredients together and apply on face. Allow it to dry for 15 minutes. Make a mixture of sandal wood (chandan), lime juice and kasturi turmeric. If possible, avoid powders and use fresh sandal wood and turmeric piece to make a paste, rubbing in a stone. Wash your face and apply this mixture. Remove the pack after 10 minutes.
Rose petal spa
Massage your face using almond oil. Then massage your face using ramacham (cuseus grass), sandalwood paste and honey for 10 minutes. Now it’s the time of spa using rose petals. Put a few rose petals in a little almond oil and after a few minutes crush it well. Then apply it on your face and massage for 10 minutes. Wash your face. Mix together fuller's earth (multani mitti), juice of rose petals and sandalwood to get the spa pack. Apply it on your face and stick a few rose petals on top of it as a part of spa treatment.
To retain skin colour
To retain the colour after facial or spa, never use soap or cream on your face for a day. You can use cream from next day onwards. Before going out, use some sunscreen lotion or cream to protect yourself from sun rays. Use products with SPF 40 content to get better results. After returning home, apply sour curd on your face for 20 minutes to avoid rashes and sun rays attack. Also provide your body with good food supplements so that your skin remains fresh and young for ever. Include a lot of fruits and vegetables in your diet.
