At-home Frégate Facials
Many of the ritualistic recipes using medicinal plants remain secrets of the Seychellois Bonnom Dibwa (French for ‘the fairy man from the forest’). However, these are a few Frégate Island Private spa treatments you can emulate at home, using ingredients found at your local food market. Due to the pure, natural ingredients, the shelf life is limited and should be used within36 hours.
Passion Fruit, Banana and Yogurt Mask
INGREDIENTS
1 passion fruit
1 banana
2 tbs. natural yogurt
PREPARATION
Put passion fruit and banana together in the blender, then combine with the yogurt. Apply to clean face and leave on for 20 minutes. This is a good deep cleansing and moisturizing mask, as passion fruit is astringent and yogurt nourishes and cleanses the skin. Bananas are full of antioxidants, which when applied on skin, make a rich emollient and soften the skin’s texture.
Ruby Red Grapefruit and Parsley Mask
INGREDIENTS
2 tbs. parsley
1/2 Ruby Red grapefruit (with skin)
1 tbs. jojoba oil
PREPARATION
Blend all three ingredients together and apply for 15 minutes to a clean face. For acne-prone skin, this is great mask to clear the complexion. The grapefruit is a good astringent and parsley will help take away some acne inflammation. The jojoba oil serves as a deep-skin healer and moisturizer.
Papaya and Yogurt Hair Mask
INGREDIENTS
1/2 papaya
1 cup natural yogurt
PREPARATION
Blend papaya until smooth, mix with yogurt and apply to clean, dry hair. Leave in for 10 – 20 minutes; then rinse and shampoo. The enzymes found in both the papaya and the yogurt condition the hair, making it silky soft.
