* Cucumber and Rose Water Cooling Toner:
For: Sunburn, redness, and dehydration.
Blend ½ cucumber, strain the juice, and then mix it with 02 tablespoons of rose water. Keep in fridge and spray on face 03 times a day.
Why it works: Cucumber cools instantly. Rose water hydrates and calms angry, heat-irritated skin.
* Aloe Vera and Yoghurt Soothing Pack:
For: Prickly heat, rashes, and oily skin.
Mix 02 tablespoons of fresh aloe vera gel with 01 tablespoon plain yoghurt and a pinch of turmeric. Apply on clean face and neck with your fingers, or a brush. Avoid the eye area and lips. Leave for 15 minutes until it feels cool and slightly tight. Rinse with cold water, and pat dry.
If the prickly heat is on back, chest or arms, you can use it there, too! Aloe vera and yoghurt is gentle enough for anywhere the heat rash shows up.
Why it works: Aloe vera heals, yoghurt removes sweat and grime, while turmeric fights pimples.
* Mint and Green Tea Ice Cubes:
For: Puffy eyes and open pores.
Brew strong green tea, add crushed mint leaves, and then freeze in an ice tray. Wrap 01 cube in cloth and glide over face for 02 minutes.
Why it works: The cold shrinks pores and reduces puffiness, while mint and green tea are anti-bacterial and so refreshing.
* Coconut Water and Honey Hydration Mask:
For: Dry, tired, sun-exposed skin.
Mix 02 tablespoons of fresh coconut water and 01 teaspoon honey. Gently dab on clean face and neck, with cotton wool, avoiding eyes and lips. Leave for 10 minutes and then rinse with cool water, and pat dry.
By the way, always use fresh ingredients. Do a small patch test on your hand, first. And please drink lots of water, too — beauty starts from inside.
