Any ideas for a good/fun homemade facial for kids?

I'm having a 'spa' party for my 7 yr old. One of the stations will be for facials, but I don't want to do anything that will cause any allergic reactions or itchiness. Any suggestions? I was thinking oatmeal/honey or vanilla yogurt. Help!Any ideas for a good/fun homemade facial for kids?
omg i am doing the same thing except i am turning 14(same diff) anyhow


grate an apple and add enough honey to make a good texture it works amazing


another one is brown sugar and milk...i eat it off my face :P it tastes so good


1/4 of an apple, 1/2 tsp. half and half, 1 tsp. honey and 1 tbl. oatmeal... it sounds amazing and works even better!


another one is instant oatmeal, half of a mashed banana and honey. works amazingly...(PS it is a bit drippy so might want to have some cloths and its suppose to be that way)


there is just a couple of my favourites!Any ideas for a good/fun homemade facial for kids?
Yogurt is great.


You can buy a bigger sized tub at Walmart for less than $2.


Also avocado and honey works really great.


It might be a bit messy for the 7 year olds.


Oatmeal and honey is a bit messy too.





Yogurt doesn't usually cause reactions to the face so I'm thinking that your best bet would be that.
Oatmeal and honey is great for your skin!
have a book with this face mask in it... you'd just have to get a couple things, and if you can boil water, you can do this one... I've never used it though, don't know how good it is. But it's supposed to soften your skin.





You need: 1 tbsp dried chamomile flowers, 175 ml/6 oz boiling water, 2 tbsp bran, 1 tsp clear honey - warmed





Put the chamomile flowers in a bowl %26amp; pour boiling water over them. Let them stand for 30 minutes, then strain it %26amp; throw away the flowers. Mix 3 tbsp of the chamomile water with the bran %26amp; honey. Rub this all over your face - leave it for at least 10 minutes %26amp; rinse off with warm water.





Don't know how good it is or if you can do it, but there ya go
I really wouldn't recommend applying a mask to such a young skin...masks during a facial in my experience are usually the cause (if any) of an allergic reaction and biological masks can be very effective. You could try a gentle facial cleanse and then a gentle massage with almond oil (beware of nut allergies) and finish with some fun child friendly glitter on the eyes and a little colored lip balm for fun. You could even buy some washable nail varnishes and get some gems to apply to the nails.
oatmeal/honey is good.





other good ideas:





pineapple or papaya (enzymes are like a mini-peel)





avocado (very rich and moisturizing)





green tea (soothing for sensitive skin) - get the powdered kind, or mix it with something else to make it the right texture
