Facials from the fridge {Reader's Tips}

It always seems difficult to find time to make all these recipes to maintain yourself regularly. I found a shortcut to maintain my face - I usually create a base by grinding 1/2 cup oats and 1/2 cup milk powder and store it. Then depending on what I have in the fridge - I mix it in this powder base.


To tighten - mix egg whites and honey into 1 tsp powder base and apply on face, wash off after dry.
To moisturize - add avocado and almond oil into 1tsp powder base and apply - wash off after dry.
To absorb oil - mix egg whites and lemon juice into 1tsp powder base - apply, wash off after dry.
To tone and cleanse - mix yogurt and cucumber juice ( when you grate and press, juice can be extracted, no need to grind) in 1 tsp powder base and apply , rinse after dry.
If the paste is too tight I mix rose water or water to it. And the list goes on - anything you find like fresh fruits - I usually go to the ones that need no grinding or preparation. This really works - try it! As we don't find a lot of time as working moms with kids...anything easy works!!
Its an awesome tip, Padmaja. Thanks so much :)
