          After the post on CTM (DAILY CARE) FOR MATURE SKIN, today its weekly care or better still call it the weekly mini facial. So read on...

              Now coming to the weekly routine for mature skin, deep cleanse with a creamy scrub. Moisten your skin and take a blob of scrub on the palm of your hand, apply dots over face and neck and massage gently in circular motion. Keep this going for 4-5 minutes adding water if required. Wash off.

Homemade Deep Pore Cleanser:-

Yeast Powder- 2 tspn

Curd- 1 tspn

Rose Water- 1 tspn

Mix all the ingredients well and apply all over face and neck with a brush. 

 Leave it on to dry and scrub to remove after 15-20 mins, wash off with warm water. This scrub/mask removes dead skin cells, pigmentation and cleans off deep seated dirt and grime.

Correct procedure of massaging your skin helps and boosts the health of your skin thereby preventing/minimizing fine lines. Massage with off the shelf anti-ageing massage cream or make one at home.

Homemade Massage Oil:-

Olive Oil- 1 tspn

Castor Oil- 1 tspn

Jasmine/Sandalwood Oil- 2 drops

Mix well and apply all over face and neck, not forgetting the area around the eyes. Now start to massage with upward-outward strokes and concentrate on the problem areas. But remember to start with the neck upwards. Apply gentle pressure with fingertips but not with the palms of your hand.

Next use a rich creamy and moisturizing pack on your face and neck.  Use a face pack brush and not your fingers to apply the pack. Keep it on for 15-20 mins and wash off. Remember, creamy masks/pack do not dry completely. Another option is to use Honey-Lemon Pack made at home.

Honey-Lemon Moisturising Pack:-

Honey- 1 tbspn

Lemon Juice- few drops

Almond oil- 2 drops

Mix the ingredients and apply on your face and neck with a brush. Keep it on for 15 mins and wash off with warm water. This pack can be applied everyday. This pack adds radiance and glow to the skin and makes the skin’s texture fine.

While applying the pack, use chilled teabags on your eyes to de-puff and rejuvenate.

           Hope you enjoyed reading the post and thank you very much for bearing with me. And girls please share with us your beauty tips for mature skin. H ave a wonderful day :)

           Cleansing-Toning-Moisturising/Nourishing are the cornerstone of a smooth and healthy skin. Whatever your age maybe but taking care of skin is a must. So if you have never taken care of your skin and yourself, start now.

 Cleanse your skin with a creamy cleanser/face wash, whichever you prefer. Massage it into the facial skin and neck and leave it on for a couple of minutes or more. Wash off warm water.

The next step is to use a mild Toner, or if you are not sure which product would suit, better go for the good old rose water. Pour few drops of rose water into a cotton ball/pad and wipe over cheeks, forehead, nose, chin and neck. Let it dry for a couple of minutes while you concentrate to feel your pores tighten/close up.

Moisturizing is the final step for the day. Use a rich creamy moisturiser with atleast SPF15-20. Apply dots all over face and neck and gently massage it into the skin. wait for a minute or so and then go ahead with your makeup.

Apply a restorative eye cream but avoid gels as they might be drying. Apply and massage with your ring finger. Apply minimum pressure.

Do not neglect your nails, apply a good nourishing hand cream and massage for a couple of minutes, concentrating on your nails. Massage in circular motions over nails and keep applying hand cream every time you wash your hands.

Applying lip balm is another important step that should not be forgotten. use a moisturising lip balm as many times as your lips feel dry.

At night cleanse your skin with the same creamy cleanser and skip the toning part if you are a lazy bone. But use a nourishing and anti-ageing night cream all over face and neck. Massage gently for the cream to penetrate deep into your skin.
