Basic Tips to Keep In Mind
Apply masks on skin that is cleansed and exfoliated.
Exfoliation not only removes dead skin but also
enhances blood circulation.
Apply the mask after a shower or a bath. The warm
water will open the pores making it easy to remove dirt
from the face and skin.
Use a soft bristle brush to apply the face mask. It will
give an even application.
Apply the face mask in an upward motion by starting
from your upper neck and then making your way up
gently to your face. Avoid the lip and eye area.
Let the pack sit for 10 to 15 mins maximum.
Wash the mask off with warm water or room
temperature water.
Apply a toner like rose water after the mask as it will
lock in the benefits of the mask; mix a moisturizer with
the toner to moisturize the skin.
Wash of the mask before it dries of completely.
Blend the fruits well to extract as much pulp as
possible.
Keep your mind relaxed when you do a facial. Sit still
when applying the pack. It will allow the pack to rest
and prevent it from sliding off your face. It also helps
to calm you down and unwind.
Fruit packs can get messy. Make sure you cover your
clothes to avoid spilling.

Some fruit pulps are fluid; they will not remain on
the skin. To add volume to them add oats to the
fruit pulp.

to it. Mix well. Add a few drops of rose water and mix
