All Natural Hijabi: Egg Mask

*Bismillah*

Egg masks are good for people with oily skin. It also brightens your skin, fights acne, tightens the pores, draws out oils, and is loaded with proteins for the skin. This mask is best done at night as opposed to in the morning. The yolk is a natural moisturizer, and the whites is like a toner. You can also just use the whites after doing another face mask.

First, get one egg.
Then get two bowls and a fork.
Crack the egg and separate the whites and the yolk. Put the yolk in one bowl, and the whites in the other.
Whip the whites until it is bubbly.
Take some of the whites and smear it all over your face. You can do the unders of the eyes too, because it seems to help with getting rid of those dark circles. Just be careful to avoid the actual eye.
Let the whites dry on your face. Rinse, and pat dry your face.
Then, take the yolk and smear it on your face. It will feel very moisterizing! Let it dry, and wash it off. Pat dry. The skin may or may not feel a little itchy. If it does, put a little more moisturizer on. A little bit of lotion or aloe vera should do. Here's Michelle Phan if you need visual help:

Remember when doing ANY mask or facial rub in outward circles to prevent wrinkling. Also, be gentle on your face! Use warm water to wash off Masks, and cold water afterwards to close pores. IF you want to look refreshed in the morning, use the ice cube technique under your eyes. Works beautifully! May Allah Bless and Guide us All. ~Nisa

All Natrual Hijabi: Tomato Scrub

*Bismiallah*

Look at that big, juicy tomato. I have been using an all natrual cleanser, the tomato kind! Now when my Mom is making a salad all I do is sneak up and steal the top of the tomato. :D You know us Muslim sisters have to keep ourselves pampered, so why not do it the natrual way?

I've always had problems with acne, blemishes, and slight discoloration in the face. I use the top of a tomato, dip it in sugar (exfoliator), hold the stem, and scrub in a circular motion. It works wonders for me. My family thinks I'm crazy using a common tomato to clean my face, but Mom  admitted that my face looked clearer. Hehe.  

You can see a video on it by Michelle Phan here. She gives you all the scientific details, shows you how to do it, and so on. Don't use it if you are allergic to tomatos, although I have no idea who is allergic to tomatos. I've never met anyone who is. So ladies & maybe gents give it a try. It just might shock you! Well, not shock. Perhaps suprise you. tomatos are full of suprises. Right? Right? C'mon, just say right. Yeah, well I know you really aren't saying right. May Allah bless & guide us all. - Nisa
