Usually we think that to look beautiful requires a heavy budget and a frequent visit to beauty parlors. But this is a big myth. All we need is self consciousness, confidence and to know few simple natural skin care recipes to make your skin glow as never before. In this article I have discussed some exfoliating facial masks that can be done at home.

An exfoliating facial mask recipe has to have an enzyme or an ingredient that will be able to gently, yet powerfully remove the dead skin cells.

Pineapple is considered the best. It contains bromelain, an enzyme that removes the dead cells and cleanses the pores. It is an astringent and helps close dilated pores while making the skin look refreshed.

Pineapple exfoliating facial mask

Ingredients

4 large pineapple chunks
1/2 cup canned and drained pineapple
3 tablespoons of olive oil

Preparation

Using a blender, blend all the ingredients until the mix is smooth.
Apply on the face and leave on for 15 minutes.
Rinse well and pat dry.

Papaya facial mask

Papaya is a strong exfoliating agent, although it does not smell all that nice ☺ Egg white in this mask tones the skin and honey helps it retain the moisture.

Ingredients

1/2 ripe papaya, skinned and seeded
1 beaten egg white
1 teaspoon of honey

Preparation

Simply mix all the ingredients together.
Carefully, so you don’t touch the eyes, apply the mask on the face and leave on for 20 minutes.
Rinse well and pat dry.

Stimulating clay mask

Clay masks are probably what everyone thinks of when talking about facial masks. They are basic and highly efficient.

This exfoliating facial mask removes dead skin cells and at the same time absorbs any excess oil. Yogurt and honey in it help moisturize, nourish and protect the skin.
Store this mask in a glass jar or plastic container and refrigerate.

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon cosmetic clay
2 teaspoons of yogurt
1/2 teaspoon of honey

Preparation

Combine all the ingredients and apply on the face.
Leave on for 15 minutes.
Rinse off using warm water. Pat dry.

Winter is just around the corner and the cold weather can play havoc on the skin. Every season we should evaluate our skin care routine. For instance, during the winter months the sebaceous (oil) glands produce less oil; thus for those with oily skin during the summer months they may find some relief from excess oil during the winter. However for those of us with combination skin or dry skin, the winter months dry out the skin even more.
Who isn't concerned about aging? Aging is one of the most talked about subjects in the world. Why is this so? Because we are a society that takes great pride in having a nice and attractive appearance. Even though aging affects all of us a little differently, we all basically go through the same process. Aging is a very natural process. As natural as living and dying. As we age, our skin gets less firm. Wrinkles and fine lines start to develop. Most prominently in the areas of our skin that are used the most.
Myths and truths about laser treatments revealed here! Myth 1: I'm only in my 20s or 30s so I don't need laser treatments. Fact: According to Dr Dana Elliott, doing a laser treatment is similar to giving your skin a work out, which keeps it in peak condition. It is better to prevent than cure. So, if you start your treatments now, your face will retain its youthfulness 10 years or more down the road.
New lasers now may or may not remove the top layers of skin and they are more targeted and less invasive, causing less tissue damage. An example is the Erbium laser which I am trying today. According to Dr Elliott, this laser has exfoliating properties which is good for acne and it also has skin tightening benefits.
How does IPL Photorejuvenation work? The flash lamp produces light which is carefully filtered before it reaches the skin. This ensures that only light of the correct wavelength is allowed to touch the skin.
Laser treatments are all the rage these days and they can help you achieve flawless skin. Here's a review of a laser treatment called Pixel Skin Resurfacing: Dr Z first examines Carol's face to assess her skin condition. Noting that she has some skin pigmentation and very light scars, he says that he will give her a mild laser treatment suitable for her skin type. She is then taken to a room where a numbing cream is applied and left on for 20 minutes to minimise discomfort during the treatment process.
What happens to your skin as you get older? Age 25 - Visible aging of the skin starts and the skin replaces old cells more slowly. Age 30 - More fine lines develop as collagen and elastin start to break down and the delicate skin under the eyes begins to thin.
