FRUIT PACK CUM SCRUB
No matter which beauty product rules the market, a fact that
we can never deny, is that fruits are nature's best beauty enhancers. They promise
a healthy glowing you, while nourishing and brightening skin as well. I have
always relied on my homemade facial packs rather than the fruit packs available
in the market.
Today I’m going to share with you one of my all time
favorite: a fruit pack cum scrub. These fruits are very affordable and we can
get them everywhere.
So here goes the recipe:
What I had used:
1.
Fruits. I had used Sapodilla (chikoo),
Strawberry, Papaya, Orange, Apple and Banana. I had used these six fruits, but
you can add/subtract according to your needs and choices.
2.
Honey
3.
Raw milk
4.
Gram flour (besan)
That’s it J
Talking about the benefits:
1.
Sapodilla (chikoo): It is a vital source of
vitamins, minerals and health benefiting anti-oxidants.
2.
Strawberry: Helps to tone the skin, lighten blemishes,
pigmentation problems and keeps the skin smooth , supple and glowing.
3.
Papaya: Rich in antioxidants and a special
enzyme called papain that kills dead cells, whitens skin, removes freckles, promotes
skin renewal and cell turnover and nourishes skin.
4.
Orange: It contains collagen that slows skin
aging process by tightening the skin. And as we all know oranges are a good
source of Vitamin C which is known to improve the skin texture and color.
5.
Apple: Full of antioxidants, which prevent cell
and tissue damage, preventing wrinkles and aging.
6.
Banana: They are rich in vitamin A, B and E and
hence works as an anti-aging ingredient.
7.
Honey: A great moisturizer and in addition has
antiseptic and antibacterial properties with hundreds of other benefits and no
side-effects as such.
8.
Milk: Help skin stay soft, supple and glowing. It
has lactic acid which can act as an exfoliant and enzymes to help smooth skin.
It also has amino acids that help keep skin moisturized. Milk can help prevent
damage from environmental toxins because it has anti-oxidants.
9.
Gram flour: It deeply cleanses and exfoliates
the skin.
Step by Step recipe:
1.
First take slices of your favorite fruit in a
clean dry bowl.
2.
Wash your hands and mash them.
3. Add a teaspoon of honey and milk and blend them
well.
4.
Add the desired amount of gram flour and blend
it. Make sure there are no clots of gram flour and the consistency is balanced,
i.e. not to thick and not too runny.
5.
Wash your face and pat dry. Then apply the
mixture on your face, neck and arms and massage in a circular motion for a few
minutes. I concentrate mainly on my nose tips as I have terrible black head
problems.
6.
Let it dry.
7.
When your skin feels tight, scrub it off gently
using upward movements.
8.
Wash off and pat dry.
9.
Apply a light moisturizer (if needed)
Discover a squeaky clean, glowing face which is well
nourished and pampered by these gifts of nature. Use this pack to get rid of
your black head problem, nagging spots and blemishes.
I have normal to dry skin so I feel comfortable using this
pack year round. But I would suggest people to understand their skin type and
then use it accordingly.
Do let us know what you feel about this pack, if anything more
is needed or not?? J
Keep glowing..!!!
