Pamper Your Skin From The Wedding Stress With These Home Methods

Cleanse, Exfoliate, And Moisturise

This is the thumb rule to be done twice daily to maintain a good skin texture even when there is so much of stress involved. Honey can be used as a cleanser, as it draws out impurities. The easily available toner is the natural rose water. Just dab it onto the skin to get refreshed. Applying yogurt for about 10 minutes moisturises the skin to a great extent.

Face Pack

Papaya is the best fruit that you can find to rejuvenate your tired skin. It is also a natural bleach and enhances smoothness. It is loaded with vitamins A, C, E, and helps in treating damaged skin.

Take a quarter of ripe papaya and mash well. Mix it to a thick paste with a teaspoon of honey. Apply and let it sit for 20 minutes. Wash it off with cool water. To give it an extra oomph, add in a teaspoon of sandalwood powder. After washing, cleanse with rose water.

Oil Massage

There is nothing better than an oil massage to relax the body, especially on the day before the wedding. Take about 100 ml of sweet almond oil and mix in 20 drops of lavender essential oil. This is so easy to make and the results are outstanding. Sweet almond oil gets absorbed by the skin, nourishing it really quickly, and lavender helps relieve stress.

Clay Facial

Soothe your skin with this clay facial. Kaolin clay, generally called white clay, cleanses the skin while restoring blood circulation. Mix together ½ a cup of white clay, 2 tbsp of ground oats, 1 tbsp of milk powder, and 1½ tsp of honey.

Store this in a jar. Take 2 tsp of the mixture and add the same amount of water or milk to it. Apply and leave it on for 10 minutes. Remove with warm water using a washcloth.

Body Scrub

Who doesn't love strawberries? Now, here is a way to nourish your skin with this exotic fruit. Take a cup of well-mashed ripe strawberries and one tablespoon of ground coffee. Mix together and massage it into your skin for a few minutes.

Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes before rinsing it. Strawberry makes the skin smooth and coffee removes the dead skin cells and helps treat stretch marks and cellulite.

Mineral Bath

Epsom salt helps remove toxins and treat inflammation from the skin, helping the body to relax. Take 1 cup of it and mix it with ½ a cup of baking soda. Add in about 15 drops of essential oil of your choice.

Lavender is the best for relaxation. Fill up your tub with warm water and add in the mixture. Rest in there for at least 30 minutes or as long as you wish. Pat dry and follow it up with a moisturiser.

Note: If Epsom salt is not available, normal sea salt could be used as well.

Foot Soak

This is a method to get rid of tired feet after a long day. Take a large basin with warm water, which is boiled and cooled to a bearable temperature to soak your feet. Add in 5 drops of peppermint essential oil, 1 drop of eucalyptus and lemon essential oils each. Soak your feet in there, dry, and apply a lemon-based moisturiser.

Another method is to pour warm milk in a small basin and add some water. Add salt and soak your feet in it for 30 minutes. Salt removes the toxins from the feet and milk improves the skin texture and fades blemishes if any.
