Fresh Enzyme Exfoliation
Fresh Enzyme Exfoliation
- 2 tablespoons crushed pineapple drained or fresh pineapple chopped fine (preferred)
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt, no sweetener added
- paper towels
- hand towels or wash cloths
- headband
- Olive oil, Baby Face or moisturizer
- Shea massage cream for foot rub or to apply to face after masque
Wash face making sure all make-up is removed. Mix the pineapple and yogurt in a small bowl. Have your mom/daughter put on the headband and lie down. Slowly and gently apply the masque to her face, covering the dry areas and avoiding the eye area. NOTE: the recipe makes enough for at least 2 treatments, so don't use it all on one person!
Let the masque stay on for 5-15 minutes. It will feel tingly as the enzymes and lactic acid eat the dead skin cells and rejuvenate the skin increasing blood flow and elasticity. Give her a foot rub at the same time if you like to increase the relaxation.
Wet the paper towels and squeeze out the excess water. Gently wipe the masque off and discard the towels. Wet the washcloth or hand towel with warm water and wring out. Apply the warm towel to her face and let sit for a few minutes. Have her feel how soft her skin is after removing the washcloth and then have her apply the moisturizer. Trade so you can get your treatment!
This masque is a real crowd pleaser so try it with your girlfriends too sometime!
