Step-by-Step DIY Summer Cool Facial:

Step 1: Cleansing

Begin with cleansing your face using raw milk. Dip a wet facial cotton in the milk and gently cleanse your face. Raw milk acts as a gentle cleanser, removing impurities while keeping the skin soft.

Step 2: Toning

Drench a facial cotton with rose water and softly apply it all over your face with gentle strokes. Rose water helps to maintain the skin’s pH balance, leaving it refreshed.

Step 3: Exfoliation

Make a paste using orange peel powder and a few drops of water or by grinding the orange peel itself. Gently apply it all over your face and leave it for 5-7 minutes, letting the AHA properties work their magic on your skin.

Step 4: Rinse

Wash off with cold water to tighten the pores and enhance the skin’s natural glow.

Step 5: Massage

Blend coconut oil with a few drops of tea tree essential oil. Gently massage this mixture on your face for 10 minutes. This combination moisturises the skin and has antibacterial properties, courtesy of the tea tree oil.

Step 6: Oil Removal

Using wet facial cotton, remove any excess oil from your face.

Step 7: Masking

Create a fresh papaya mask and apply it all over your face. Let it sit for 10 minutes. This enzyme-rich mask helps in making the skin soft and supple.

Step 8: Relaxation

While the mask does its job, just relax. This is the essence of self-love and relaxation.

Step 9: Cleanse Again

Once you remove the mask, ensure all residues and oils are cleaned off the face.

Step 10: Eye Care

Place cooling cucumber slices over your eyes for 5 minutes.

Step 11: Eye Massage

After removing the cucumber slices, spend 2-3 minutes massaging around your eyes in a circular motion using your dry hands.

Step 12: Final Touch

Mix coconut oil with a few drops of tea tree oil. Gently apply this blend all over your face, sealing in the goodness. Wait about an hour and then wash your face.

Post-Facial Recommendations:

Avoid washing your face immediately after the facial.
Stay out of direct sunlight.
For optimal results, indulge in this facial ritual twice a month.
