Okaiis since I havent done a facial in a long long time to give my skin a little treatment, I did one today since I have a lot of parsley at home. I had incorporated a few ideas in this mask and add different ingredients and it turned out perfect..
My skin is soft, clear and smooth and healthy looking after doing that facial and this is what I did.
I used parsley.... (lots of them), orange juice and a bit of oats. (info on each ingredient is below)
Parsley:
Parsley contains a high concentration of vitamin C, iron and is a good source of manganese. It also contains calcium and is a great source of potassium.
The benefits these vitamins and minerals have on your skin is well know. Vitamin C is a powerful anti-oxidant and in conjunction with protein, is necessary for the production of collagen - the glue that holds us and our skin together and circumvents sags or wrinkles. It regulates sebaceous glands to keep skin from drying out; helps prevent facial lines, wrinkles and spider veins.
Oranges: Vitamin C... I used orange juice instead of lemon because Mum said that lemon and egg yolk attracts alot of the sun's radiation causing you to be tan.
Oats:
Polysaccharides
- Oatmeal contains polysaccharides, a type of complex carbohydrate. When polysaccharides mix with water, a gel forms. This gel softens and nourishes the skin. It also protects skin from drying out even after you've washed the oatmeal away.
Adding Moisture
- Oatmeal contains healthy fats. When they come into contact with your skin, these fats help to add moisture to soften and repair your skin.
Natural Barrier
- Your skin is your body's first line of defense against pollutants. Oatmeal helps to strengthen your skin's defenses so it can do a better job.
Gentle Cleansing
- The saponins in oats help to remove dirt from your pores. This effect, combined with oatmeal's moisture-adding properties, gives your skin that soft glow after an oatmeal cleanse.
Also I added a bit of oats to add bulk to the facial mask so that it is easier to put on my face.
Instructions
Boil and steep parsley in a pot with water mixed with a bit of orange juice. When done, take only the parsley and mix them with a bit of oats. Apply on face and leave for 1 hour. Done
(ps quantity is not important as i used how ever much I want)
