DIY Beauty Treatment - Poor Woman's Pore Peel!
When I was younger I used to raid the pantry and mix up my
own beauty treatments – I specifically remember a facial scrub using rolled
oats! It has been a while since I’ve done anything along those lines but when I
was trawling pinterest this week I came across a little recipe that I couldn’t
resist:
Make – your – own pore mask/peel. Here’s the link

This inspired me so I’m giving it a crack this morning while
bub’s asleep and pre-schooler is at swimming lessons with his dad, here goes….
1 tablespoon or Gelatin and 1 tablespoon of milk – mix and
microwave for 10 – 15 seconds.
Hmm, smells kind of manky and looks a bit like vomit, and
you do have to apply it straight away because it starts to go even clumpier. I used an iceypole stick.

The waiting game –
around 15 minutes – you can feel your face going harder than Channing
Tatums abs in that feelgood stripper flick. I actually prefer Chris Hemsworth
in Thor, but I digress.
Ok now for the fun part, peeling. Ouch, it hurts as it gets
those tiny hairs on your cheeks – on the upside my face does feel like a baby’s
bum, and you can see what has been ripped out if you hold the peeled bits up to the light.

I wouldn't try this if you have sensitive skin. Oh and don’t get it anywhere near your eyebrows or you may
end up rocking a weird brow fashion, which is fine if you’re planning on
auditioning for the role of Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon
Tattoo.
Maybe next time I’ll just do my nose/forehead but overall
this is a winner. If you give it a go let us know!
