Weekends. Everyone loves a good weekend, it’s the
perfect time to recover from the five days you spent in corporate hell
attempting to please the boss while retain whatever sanity you may have left. I
believe that the weekend is the perfect time to use treatments, be it the
mornings when you don’t have to work, or nights when waking up and not having
to rush out the door is apparent by the lack of your ‘used to be favorite song’
alarm ringing in the early hours of any given day.
In a perfect world, your skin doesn’t need saving.
But this weekend, it does. Bring out your favorite moisturizers, scrubs, and
masks because you’re having a party. After washing your face, you’ll be using a
scrub. Something you can either buy from a store (please avoid the ones with
microbeads) or something you can make at home. Either way, you need to get the
dead skin cells off your face to properly moisturize it.
Your home-made scrub can be a combination of two
things according to skin type:
Green
Tea Leaves (Used) and Honey (Normal/Oily/Combination/Dry/Sensitive)
Baking
Soda and Water (Normal/Oily/Combination/Dry/Sensitive)
Cleansing
Cream and Sugar (Dry/Sensitive)
Sugar
and Lemon (Oily/Combination)
Oatmeal
(Ground) and Olive Oil (Dry/Sensitive)
Coffee
(Ground) and Water (Mature/Normal/Oily/Combination/Dry)
Rice
(Ground) and Lemon (Normal/Oily/Combination)
Brown
Sugar and Olive Oil (Dry/Sensitive)
Salt
and Honey (Acne Prone)
Note: Don’t rub your skin too hard do it in soft
circular motions, it’ll get the job done, don’t worry.
After you’re done with scrubbing, you can either
use a mask first (which is a good idea because your skin will be more receptive
to any treatments you do), or jump straight to moisturizing. You can use
anything from store bought creams to oils you have in your cabinet. Don’t
forget to pat it in, no rubbing please, and enjoy the weekend with your smooth,
soft and glowing skin.
Good Luck!
