Face Masks:
You can buy facemasks from most supermarkets and chemists. They arn't very expensive and are a great way to relax. You can also make your own for just a few pounds, this way you know exactly whats in them. Here are 2 of my favourite face masks recipes!
Banana Face Mask: You will need: 1/2 a ripe banana, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of thick cream. (Feel free to double or triple the amounts to make as much as you like.)
1. Mash together 1/2 a ripe banana.
2. Add the honey and cream and stir.
3. Smooth over your face and leave for atleast 15 mins, then wash off with a warm wet flannel or cotton wool pads.
4. You can store any spare in the fridge for up to 3 days.
FACT: Banana is soothing for dry skin.
Avocado Face Mask: All you need is 1/2 a RIPE avocado.
1. Mash your avocado until it is as smooth as you can possibly get it. If the avocado is not ripe it will not be easy to mash.
2.
Massage the avocado in to your face and leave it for 15 minutes, then
rinse it off with warm water. Don't worry if it starts to go brown, that
is what happens when oxygen gets to it!
FACT: The oils in avocados make them rich and moisturising on the skin.
When
you have your face mask homemade or brought its good to have something
to put over your eyes. Wet cotton wool works well however, most people
use cucumber as its mild and softening and can remove black circles.
A great way to have fun at a slumber party is by giving each other facials! Here are 7 steps to the perfect facial:
1.
Put a headband on your friend to keep her hair away from her face. Get
your friend to lie down so you can still sit behind her head.
2.
Start by massaging a cleansing lotion into her face. Start at her chin
and make little circular movements and go around her face.
3. Use warm water to wash the cleansing lotion from the face.
4. Apply the face mask that you either made or brought. Try to avoid the eye areas as they are more sensitive.
5. Wipe of your mask after the time stated on the packet or recipe.
6. Gently massage some moisturiser in to your friends face.
7. You have finished your facial and can now swap roles!
Some other options of great activities for slumber parties include: Manicures and pedicures, foot massages, hair styling.
