6 Steps To Do Fruit Facial At Home For Glowing Skin

Before getting an answer to the above question we need to know why to do a facial? On daily basis, our skin has to face various chemicals in the air, pollution, dust and harmful sunrays etc. Consequently, it leads to skin problems such as acne, dullness and pigmentation etc. Therefore, to get rid off all these skin problems, facial is required.

The icing on the cake would be to choose fruits for the facial, as they are chemical free. In addition to that, they are a rich source of vitamins, antioxidants and other essential minerals that help to maintain our skin health. Fruits can also make our skin fairer as they have natural bleaching properties. It is important to realize one thing here that is home facials can save our hard earned money and time as well. Let’s see the procedure now.

# Cleansing

- The first and very important step to do fruit facial at home is to clean your face thoroughly.
- You can choose a mild face wash or cold raw milk for this purpose.
- Raw milk being natural will not be harsh on the skin and is a great cleanser as well.
- Dip a cotton ball in raw milk and wipe your face with it in a circular motion to cleanse.
- This step will remove dirt and grime from the pores of your facial skin.
- After cleansing, simply wash your face with lukewarm water.

# Scrubbing

- The second step is exfoliating.
- Exfoliation removes the dead skin cells. This leads to better penetration of fruit juices in the skin.
- Though you can use Apricot and Walnut Scrub that are available in the market, however, it is recommended to use natural stuff for the facial.

Ingredients
