Mayonnaise Facial

The Mayonnaise Facial

Mayonnaise contains eggs, lemon juice, vinegar and oil.

The eggs and oil make it a very, very rich combination with skin firming abilities. Excellent for mature skin, or dry skin.

Lemon juice too tightens the skin. As skin requires an acidic mantle to fend off bacteria, the acidic pH of mayonnaise, due to the lemon and vinegar makes it appropriate for the skin.

Before you start

Wash your hands with soap and water.

Wash all the bowls, whisk, utensils, spoons, cups and whatever equipment you will be using for this facial with soap and water. Sterilize these with boiling water. (Note: do not boil glass items as these can crack and the splinters can injure you. Certain plastics can melt if boiled so watch out for that). Make sure all surfaces you use for preparing this facial are clean. Remember. For home facials, hygiene and cleanliness is all important.

Mix 1 tablespoonful of sweet almond oil with 1 tablespoon of milk powder.

Put some fresh rose petals into another bowl.

Fill a kettle with water and set that to boil.

Wear a hair band or shower cap to keep your hair off your face.

Get ready some cotton pads and a clean towel an 1 tablespoon of full cream milk (if your skin is normal or dry).

Soak 2 cotton pads in rosewater.

Now you are ready for your facial.
