Mind Over Menopause

One of the most annoying things I find about menopause is the tired, dry, drab complexion that’s appeared without warning. I’ve never been a fanatic with beauty routines, took little care of my skin and thoughtlessly tanned myself mahogany for most of the year.

Now I’ve discovered the home made facial mask. It does make a difference – my skin becomes softened and plumped, if only for 24 hours. More to the point, it makes me feel better. Feeling better is something I can’t buy in the supermarket.

Then there’s the virtuous pleasure of being frugal as well. All these ingredients are commonly in my kitchen.

Powdered Milk

• Mix up a thick paste of powdered milk with water, thick enough so it doesn’t run down over neck onto your clothes.
• Pat it on your face. Leave for 15 minutes.
• Rinse off with lukewarm water then a dash of cold water.

Avocado, Honey and Egg

• 2 tablespoons of avocado
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 egg yolk
• Mash up the avocado, add the honey and egg. Mix it all together.
• Apply for ten minutes.
• Rinse off with lukewarm water then a dash of cold water.

Banana

• You need a ripe banana.
• Mash it up until it’s creamy.
• Spread on your face and leave for 15 minutes.
• Rinse off with lukewarm water then a dash of cold water.
