    I have a two recipes:

    1. Yogurt, Cucumber and Passionfruit mask
    -simply combined natural yogurt (I use homemade), cucumber juice (grate cucumber and squeeze out the juice) and passionfruit. i have no idea on measurements I made it up as I went along.
    Thanks Molly Ill give the chocolate one a try ……..
    2. Chocolate mask:
    Simply combined: 1 tablespoon yogurt, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, and one tablespoon of honey.
    This ends up looking like chocolate moose but defiantly does not taste the same!
    This mask is very enjoyable to make.

    Hope you like these 🙂

    Your welcome MoonlightSak you’ll love it! 🙂

    I’m not a huge fan of homemade masks (probably because I’m lazy) but I love home facials! Every 1-2 weeks I follow this routine

    1. Steam my face or have a shower (might as well kill two birds with one stone). While I’m in the shower I make sure I cleanse and exfoliate my skin
    2. Use a cleansing clay mask – I’m loving ULittleBeauty which is natural or QV when my skin is more delicate
    3. After I wash it off the clay mask, I take the opportunity to use pore strips. After steaming and a clay mask I find it is much easier to remove blackheads because your pores are more open
    4. If I have time I go onto a nourishing cloth mask (Skinvitals is amazing!). If not I make sure I tone my skin well to close up the pores

    I love doing this before bed because then all the super nourishing ingredients in the cloth mask can continue to work their magic while I sleep

    Hi ,
    I would also love to know if there are any facial kits available to purchase . Mini size of all products required in a home facial.

    I’m pretty sure palmers do a kit.

    Steam your face over some hot water,
    Give it a good scrub with sugar mixed with honey and yoghurt.
    Then apply a really good moisturizer! I love the palmers night renewal cream as it soothes my skin after all that cleaning.

    I start with cleansing with a mild cleanser. I’m using natural instinct at the moment. Then I do a steam over hot water and towel over the head with a drop of lavender oil. Then I do a scrub again natural instinct at the moment, then a moisturising mask or I skip the scrub and use Avon alpha peel. For a moisture mask I mix mashed avocado with almond oil, organic honey and some ground oats and leave on for as long as I can. I the rinse with warm water then cool then use rose water as a toner then a moisturiser which is at the moment avons vitamin e. I have dry mildly sensitive skin and this routine makes my skin soft, hydrated and glowing.

    Thanks chocolate lover.
    I usually make my own masks using yoghurt, gram flour (available in health food stores and really good to help tighten your skin and giving the face a facelift effect).
    I will look out for bloom cosmetics masks I have heard their products are good.

    You can purchase Bloom cosmetics masks which come in a mini kit for about $25 and this will help in judging how each masks ract with your skin 🙂
