Today I will share some of my easy Do It Yourself at home masks. This are super easy to make at home when you don't have time. Try them and you will see the results immediately...

For clear and healthy skin:

  • Mix honey, rosewater, and glycerin- use this mixture for 10-15 minutes and then rinse off. You can use this 2-3 times per week.
  • After returning home from outside, put some cold milk in your face with help of  a cotton ball and keep it in your skin for 5 minutes. Do this daily to remove any sun spot and get fairer skin.
  • Mix honey and milk together, and use this daily to get glowing skin.
  • Mix milk, lemon juice, cucumber juice, and sugar together, and put this mixture on your face and neck for 20 minutes daily.
  • Take same amount of flour and water, and make a paste. Put this paste on your face for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse off. This mask will help to remove blackheads, whiteheads, and will make your pores look smaller.
  • Take some pieces of a tomato, and use it on your face as a scrubber. Doing this daily will tan and clear your face gradually, because tomatoes are known as natural tanner.
  • Take 1 table spoon of lemon juice and 1 cup sour curd. Mix them together to make a paste. Put this paste on your face, neck, and hands. Wait 20 minutes and rinse off. It will wake up your skin, and you will look fresh.
  • To make a homemade scrub- grind some rice, and mash some tomatoes. Mix them together and use it as a scrub to remove any dead skin cells.

Some Easy Skincare Tips

  • Wash your skin with lukewarm water and cleanser at least twice a day to achieve a healthy glowing skin. After that, use toner and moisturiser.

  • Drink 8 glasses of water a day as well as a glass of vegetable or fruit juice everyday- it's better if you can make juice at home instead of buying it.

  • Detoxify your skin and body at least twice a month. Use clay mask to detox your skin. Also, you can take detox tea of your choice to detoxify your body on daily or monthly basis.

  • Exfoliate your skin at least 3 times a week. It removes all the dead skin. After exfoliating, use a good moisturiser to keep your skin glowing.

  • Wear sunscreen everyday even in winter. Don't skip your sunscreen and try to choose one with higher SPF.

  • Take some multivitamins on daily basis. They will keep your skin and hair well.

  • Do facial once a month. It unclogs pores and draws out any impurities from your skin. Keeps your skin healthy and acne-blemish free. Try to choose a facial that best suits to your skin concerns.

  • Use your favourite masks 2-3 times a week to keep your skin in good condition.

Most importantly, eat well, sleep well, and take a healthy diet. You will be tension free, and your skin will glow for sure .... :) :)

Review- Essence Match 2 Cover Cream Concealer

Today I am going to talk about a cream concealer from a new brand which is called Essence. Essence a new brand that came to Canada last year, I guess. They have good selection of products with affordable prices. You can get Essence products in Canada in any Shoppers Drug Mart.
 
Packaging: The packaging is cute enough. This little box includes 2 shades. One is lighter and other one is medium. They claim to have high coverage power to cover imperfections and dark circles. 2 shades claim to perfectly match your skin tone.According to me, it doesn't have high coverage. I can say that it has a medium coverage. It covers dark circles and spots quite well.


 
Available Colour: Medium Beige/ Light
 
Price: Around $2- $3
 
Pros:
 
  • Cheap
  • Cute packaging
  • Doesn't clump and crease
  • Good coverage
  • Stays a good amount of time (9-10 hours)
  • Blends well with fingers and brush
Cons: 
 
  • Doesn't cover big and darker spots
  • Not good for using on acne-prone skin
  • It may dry out soon
  • Pigmentation is ok-ok
  • May crease without setting powder
  • Narrow shades selection

Would you suggest it?? : YES!!!
 
Overall, I am quite surprised with this concealer. It gives quite good coverage comparing to other drugstore brands. It fits in any purse very well. I like this concealer, and I wish they will come out with more shades soon.
