it is, but if not take a second and watch this video to figure it out.
If you have dry skin your base ingredient is yogurt it's rich in lactic acid which helps
get rid of flaky skin but is also super gentle and hydrating too. Got oily skin?
Aloe vera is your BFF its light, won't grease you up and won't clog your pores either. If your
skin is oily in some areas and dry in others you probably already know, you have combination skin.
Go ahead and drizzle some honey into a bowl as your first ingredient.
It helps balance oiliness and also pulls moisture to the drier patches
to hydrate them. Let's talk about normal skin a lot of beauty brands are getting rid of this skin type
because what is normal really? But for now if you actually have the goldilocks of skin.
That's neither too oily neither too dry and is just right.
Grab some rose water which is gentle lightweight and a great all-rounder ingredient.
Got that? If you haven't figured out what your first ingredient is yet
pause right now!
or rewind and figure it out before moving on to the next one.
Ready for the next ingredient? For this one we're going to look at your skin concerns.
Dealing with angry acne that doesn't seem to go away? Get your hands on some Multani
mitti also called fuller's earth, it's a magic clay that sucks out impurities from your pores
and dries out existing acne too.
Dull skin that won't glow no matter what you do?
Our absolute favourite ingredient is here to save the day.
Orange peel powder! It's super brightening and
will give you a glow like never before.
If you're starting to notice a few lines and wrinkles
it's time to take a cue from the Chinese, the Japanese and Koreans and grind up some rice
into rice flour. It has anti-aging properties and is also probably the easiest ingredient to
make at home.
Pigmentation and uneven skin? Mash up some papaya it has a chemical in it called papain
that helps loosen up all the gunk and dead cells that have been collecting on your face
so that you can wash it away to reveal fresher more even-toned skin.
If you haven't decided
what your second ingredient is? You know the drill pause, rewind and get it right!
Now that you're ready! All you need to do is mix together your two ingredients from step one and
step two based on your skin type and skin concern. For example if you have dry skin that's also dull
your mask is yoghurt and orange peel powder. Don't worry too much about the quantities, just make
sure you have a smooth paste-like consistency that's easy to apply as a thin layer. Leave it on
for about 10 minutes and rinse off for the skin that we know you've been dreaming about.
You can use your custom mask one to two times a week but not more than that or it'll strip your skin down.
There are 16 possible mask combinations you could make depending on what you choose. So, we're sure
there's one in there that's the right match for you.
