8 Tips For a Perfect At-Home Skin Treatment

To stand a chance of achieving the expected results from your special home-made skin treatment, and not actually harm your skin more in the process, there are some important guidelines you must follow.

These are not iron-clad rules but a series of steps that guarantee better results, when adhered to, compared to having your skin treatment without them:

• Make sure any fruit or vegetable used is fresh and in good condition.

• Always mix ingredients using clean, stainless or glassware.

• Before applying a mask, clean skin and pat dry.

• Avoid mixing ingredients using water to prevent rapid deterioration. If the need arises, use the base oils or glycerine to lighten mixtures.

• You can apply left-over mask on the back of your hand and your feet.

• Always make fresh mask for each use.

• If you have a sensitive skin, do a patch test before use. Apply small quantity of mask on your inner arm and wait for 24 hours for any allergic reaction.

• Always apply a moisturizer after every treatment.

If everything fails consult a dermatologist (a medical doctor specially trained in the management of skin conditions) or a cosmetologist.
