As it’s Friday and I want my skin to look great for this weekend, I decided to spend some time on my skin this morning, not too much time though as I have a busy day ahead.

Time to put my 20 minute Superglow Facial into action! Trust me this simple 20 minute facial is like a little miracle for tired, dull and dry skin! You can use this whenever your skin needs a serious pick me up or before you have a big night out.

Make sure you leave your comments and questions, which I will personally review and answer!

For this you will need:

1 Facecloth

1 teaspoon Bicarb of Soda

Honey (preferably organic)

1/2 teaspoon fine sugar

olive or coconut oil

1/2 avocado

STEP 1:

mix together the bicarb of soda, sugar and 1 teaspoon of oil, mix well then add 1/2 teaspoon of honey mix into paste. Apply using circular motion over face and neck area (Be careful not to be over zealous as you don’t want to damage surface of skin). Leave on the face for 5 minutes to allow sugars in paste to breakdown dead skin cells. Rinse out clean cloth in hot water, wring and apply cloth over face for 30 seconds. Remove mixture from face using cloth, then splash off any residue with lukewarm water. Pat dry.

STEP 2:

Mash avocado until it becomes thick paste. Add 1/2 teaspoon honey and 1/2 teaspoon of chosen oil. Mix together thoroughly and apply all over face and neck. This mixture can be applied around the eye area, but be careful not to take it into corners or it may get into eyes. Leave on for 10 minutes, then remove facemask and splash face with cold water. Pat dry.

Your skin will now be glowing and feel super smooth. Apply a natural serum and allow to soak in for 10 minutes before applying any make up.

Enjoy:-)

Naturally Beautiful Lips

Over the last week, like many I have succumbed to a heavy head cold and with it, as usual the dreaded cold sores! Even if you don’t suffer from cold sores I’m pretty sure at some point during this winter, you will have dry, cracked lips, which feel horrible and look awful.

There is a simple natural way to remedy this problem and it will leave your lips soft, plump and oh so kissable!

Mix together:

Half tspn of any organic vegetable oil

Half tspn of fine sugar (not granulated – it’s too abrasive for the delicate skin on lips)

Honey

Using the ring finger smear over closed lips, then use circular movements, rubbing mixture all over the lips for at least 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with wet cloth. Smear honey onto lips and leave on for further 2 minutes. Rinse off.

Keep lips moisturised and protected using a natural lip balm.

Voila! Beautiful soft lips.

 

 

Beautiful skin: Why yoghurt is a must!

I love, love, love yoghurt! As well as being yummy to eat here are some awesome benefits, and reasons to use it as part of your weekly skin care regime.

  1. Yoghurt has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties making it an awesome ally in fighting off spots and especially great for acne prone skin.
  2. It contains zinc which is an essential mineral needed for repair of the skin.
  3. Yoghurt has high levels of lactic acid, the benefits of which are to smooth, rough dry patches of skin, dissolving dead skin within the pores, preventing pore congestion. (Goodbye blackheads!)
  4. Helps to reduce age spots and discolouration by mildly bleaching the skin.
  5. It has an astringent effect on the skin, helping to shrink enlarged pores. 
  6. IT’S CHEAP!

Apply the face mask to cleansed skin, massaging into the skin, and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse off with tepid water. Apply facial serum. Only use Organic Natural Yoghurt and the next time your grocery shopping, put an extra tub of organic yoghurt in your trolley. If applied twice weekly it will help to keep your skin blemish free and looking great!

The best natural microdermabrasion ever….and it’s FREE!

Microdermabrasion has become the ‘must have’ beauty treatment for many women in their pursuit for flawless skin. In my experience it is an expensive and not particularly pleasant experience. It is an intense method of removing the dry, dead skin cells from the surface of your skin which is important to allow the products you apply to penetrate, be absorbed and do their job. Exfoliating your skin regularly will help to keep your complexion, fresh and bright, will help stimulate collagen production and unblock clogged pores. But beware! If you exfoliate with a product that is very abrasive or too harsh, you risk damaging your skin and leaving it dehydrated. I recommend my clients use Skin Guru’s amazing Glow Cloths, on a daily basis, which gently removes surface grime, make up and dead skin cells, without stripping the skin and leaving it sensitive. Once a month I recommend this fantastic method of do-it-yourself microdermabrasion, which has fantastic results and all for a few pence.

RECIPE:

1 Tablespoon Baking Soda Fresh complexion

1 Teaspoon water

1/2 Teaspoon Honey

In a small bowl, mix all ingredients until combined. Dip your fingers into the paste and begin to massage all over the face, using circular motions. Be gentle and pay particular attention to any areas with blocked pores. Continue the massage for a full 5 minutes. Rinse off with tepid water, pat skin dry and apply a natural serum to protect the skin. Avoid direct sunlight for a couple of days.
