FRUIT PACK CUM SCRUB

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..!!!
