My 13th birthday is soon and I'm going to have a SPArty at my house! I have all the supplies needed (thanks to the dollar store!!!), except a facial mask. I am at my budget and don't have enough to buy the facial mask. So heres where you come in, what is a safe (won't make us 13 yr. old girls break out) facial mask recipe?
Thanks so much! You can take credit for the BEST PARTY EVER!!!
oh, one more thing. Anyone know where I can get blue zinc or do I have to order it online? thanksSpa Party... facial mask question???
Even if you make your facial products for immediate use, you have to be careful about using only the freshest ingredients. A mouldy fruit or anything that is spoilt can lead to disastrous results on your skin.
Then there is the safety of the ingredients used in your skincare products.
I once told a pharmacist about the lemon remedy I was using on my pimples. She was horrified. Lemons are highly acidic. Lemon juice is pH 2. Sulphuric acid is pH 1. Lemons can cause a nasty acid burn if you are not careful.
We had a discussion about this. She told me about a customer who showed up with an acid burn. Turns out, she had a sunburn. Back in Australia, she would soothe that sunburn by rubbing cut cucumber over her skin. The juices would ease the sunburn. This time around, she was unlucky. The cucumber she used was more acidic than the ones she was used to and she ended up with a really nasty acid burn.
Though cucumber is soothing, cucumber contains Alpha Hydroxy Acids as do most fruit and some of the other ingredients used in homemade beauty recipes.
You see, in home made skin care, the exact chemical makeup of the ingredients you use may vary, leading to unpleasant results if you are unfortunate. That is why, everytime you make any facial mask, test it on the inside of your wrist first, before you let that mask touch your face.
I was lucky. The lemon facial I did helped clear my skin by killing the bacteria, without burning my skin. The pharmacist said I was fool hardy. As did my cousin who has been making her own beauty products for years already.
Lemon can thin the skin. It is so acidic. The pharmacist thought the other things, like the almond meal I mixed with the lemon juice helped neutralize the extreme acidity. Also, when I used freshly squeezed lemon juice directly on my face, I would dilute it with water first.Spa Party... facial mask question???
I looked online and this is the website i found selling blue zinc sunscreen:

Theres so many masks out there depending on your skin type....oily, dry, acne, combination.... Either pick one that will work for everyone or maybe part of the fun can be for everyone to make their own. Check these out...

hmm.
Im not sure about a mask.
but if anyone has pimples put toothpaste
on it for about 2 min.
it will suck that pimple dry.
also, im not sure if this works.
but an all natural way is to use honey.
hope this helped.
