Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin E are antioxidants. They protect your skin
against free radicals that cause aging. Vitamin E applied on your skin helps
protect you against the aging effects of sunlight, pollution and other sources
of free radicals. Look younger by using Anti oxidants on your skin

This facial uses vitamin E supplement, vitamin A supplement (or beta carotene
if you can’t find pure vitamin A. Lavender oil is added for its fragrance and
healing properties. 

Caution applying vitamins from a capsule can lead to rashes in some
people, so it is very important to do a patch test on your wrist first. The
vitamins in theses supplements are in a different form from those you find in
good quality skin care products. That is why good quality skin care products
are safer.

Before attempting this facial, check if you are allergic to any of the ingredients
in the facial. . Mix 1 drop lavender  oil, 1 teaspoon kaolin and cut a
capsule of each of your chosen supplements. Mix the contents with the kaolin
mix. Add water to form a paste and apply on your wrist. Leave overnight. If
your skin is irritated by it, skip this facial. If you are allergic to any of
the ingredients in the facial, skip the steps that use these ingredients.
