Cooling Masks

Cucumber juice (or pulp) can be mixed with two teaspoons powdered milk and one egg white. You can put the ingredients in a blender, for a smooth paste. Apply on face and neck and rinse off with water after half an hour. For oily skin, omit milk powder.

To one tablespoon honey add 15 drops of orange juice, one tablespoon oats and one tablespoon rose water. Mix together and apply on the face. Wash off after 15 minutes.

Papaya pulp can be applied on the skin like a mask, washing it off after 20 minutes. Papaya contains enzymes and helps to soften and clear dead skin cells. It also refreshes the skin.

FOR SUNBURN
Apply yoghurt or buttermilk on the face and wash it off after 20 minutes. Or, crush sesame seeds (til) coarsely and soak in water overnight. Next morning strain the water and use the white liquid to wash the face. Soothes sunburn and sun damaged skin.
