DIY Beauty - Complexion brightening Face Mask

Hello my lovelies ^___^
I know it's been a while, please forgive me for that >___<  I have been pretty busy. doing what you may ask? Pfft honestly don't even know O.o erm working?yeah... probably =/ But anyways, today I will be blogging about A DIY complexion brightening mask. It is a combination of natural yogurt, Honey, Turmeric powder, lemon juice and gram flour.


 Natural yogurt is an all-around beauty multi-tasker.  It is a moisturiser, fights acne, prevents premature aging, can be used to relieve sunburn and can  reduce discoloration. Yogurt not only revives the dull skin on your face, it will leave it feeling supple and soft.

  
Honey also has many beautifying functions. It provides nutrition to both your skin and hair. If used frequently over a long period of time your skin will become more radiant and reduces wrinkles. It is also used as a cleanser, moisturiser and increases the renewal of skin cells therefore making your skin softer and more youthful.

Turmeric powder is commonly used in India and Thailand not only in thier cooking but in thier beauty routines also. It is often used in Indian culture before a brides wedding day to give her skin a luminous and beautiful glow. It is a powerful antioxidant and contains antibacterial properties.  It has healing properties which are great for acne, blackheads, pigmentation, eczema, and psoriasis. Turmeric is also is known to improve the skin’s elasticity. It also gives your skin a healthy glow and helps to keep your skin clear and blemish free.


Lemons have many different functions but I will talk about them all in another post just for lemons ;)
Lemon juice when used on the skin brightens and whitens it. It can also be used as a toner, and rids your face of excess oils.

 
Gram flour or Besan as it is also known is ued to cleanse and exfoliate the skin. It is also used to whiten the skin, remove tans, remove unwanted hair, reduce skin oiliness and fight pimples.


For this facial combine 2 tablespoons of natural yogurt, 1 tablespoon of gram flour, 1 tablespoon of honey, 2 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder. Mix all 5 ingredients thoroughly into a paste. Ensure that your face is clean and free from all traces of dirt and make up, then apply the paste all over your face. avoid getting any into your eyes. Your face will begin to feel cool. As it dries it will feel awkward to smile or move your mouth. Leave the mask on your face for 15-20 minutes. Then wash your face with warm water and pat dry. Your face will feel soft, refreshed and instantly look brighter and radiant. This mask applied two or three times a week will do wonders for your skin.
