Hi ladies!
The scorching heat of Delhi is too much to handle. Isn’t it? So, I decided to make a face mask using just a few ingredients. No matter how many products I use, I always come back to my kitchen to pamper my skin from something home made. Let’s start!
You Need:
• Watermelon juice
• Cucumber juice
• Dried orange peel powder
• Oats
• Yoghurt
• Bowl and spoon
Procedure:
1. Crush 2-3 small watermelon cubes to take out the juice out of it.
2. Blend the cucumber and strain the mixture.
I have used store bought orange peel powder. You can make it at home by drying the orange peels in the sun. Then grinding them and your own dried peel powder is ready.
3. You will need 1 tbsp each of every ingredient. Take watermelon and cucumber juices. Add dried peel powder, oats and yogurt to it. Mix well and your face mask is ready.
4. Apply on the face and neck.
5. Massage for 2-3 minutes for gentle scrubbing. Then, leave as it is.
6. Wait for 15 minutes and wash your face afterwards and pat dry.

Watermelon

How I Liked It?

This is good Vandana…something I would love to try after a hot and humid day. I too rely more on kitchen products than on store bought ones.
Thanks Vandana, refreshing fruit masks like these really help cool the skin in this scorching summer! 😀
