DIY Milk and Saffron Mask:

Hello my beautiful friends. Hope you all are doing fine. Today I will write about a very interesting DIY face mask which worked wonder for my skin specially in this time of the year when its cold and skin gets really dry and sensitive.

If you guys have read my skin pampering routine which I posted a long time ago. Click here to read that post : 

I hope you guys will really like that post as it will give you a routine for your everyday skincare. In that post I mentioned a milk and saffron mask which I bought and loved so much. But I ran out of it and it wasn’t available in the UK or online. So, I decided to make my own. I am really happy with the result.
To make this mask, you will need:

1.    4 tsp dry powder milk: Milk is a great moisturizer  but if you are allergic please seek doctors advice.

2.  1 tsp plain flour: Plain flour is a great cleanser.

3.  ½ tsp saffron: Saffron is a magic ingredient for many things. It gives your skin a natural glow. In South Asian countries ladies mix saffron with milk and drink it to beautify themselves from inside out.

4.  Rose water to make a paste of all these products(you can also use normal water). Rose water is also very good for your skin. I also use it as a toner after using this mask.




Procedure:

Get 4 tsp dry powder milk, 1 tsp plain flour and ½ tsp saffron and mix very well. I mixed them in a grinder to get a very fine and evenly distributed mask. Then you guys know the drill. I made a paste of this mixture with rose water. Applied to my face and left for 10 minutes. Then washed it off with warm water.

You can also keep the mixture of the powdered products in a dry sealed container for about a week. For best results keep it in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight.

I hope you guys like this post. If you try this out at home, please let me know is you liked it. Your comments make me really really happy and I eagerly wait for them.

I wish you guys a lovely weekend. I will write again tomorrow. Till then

Take care and Be Barbie ;)
