Ahhhh. My skin is so bad!!

 

I hear this so often I can’t begin to tell you! And do you know what? If your stressing out about having bad skin, your actually making the problem a lot worse.

Stress releases a hormone called Cortisol into your body that has a horrendous affect on your skin! Without getting too technical, excess cortisol triggers the skin to overproduce oil, which leads to spotty breakouts or acne flare ups.

 

Follow this emergency ABC for Skin breakouts.

De stress your skin

De stress your skin

 

A: APPLY a layer of organic natural yoghurt or if you prefer honey, all over the face avoiding the eyes.

B: BREATHE. Begin to take longer, deeper breaths, in and out through your nose.

C: CHILL OUT. Lie down, close your eyes, and continue to breath deeply. Do this for at  least 10-15 minutes. Then rinse off facemask.

 

This simple routine will switch off the production of Cortisol, and allow the mind, body and skin to de-stress and heal.

Amazing Results Superglow Facial!!

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:-)

Many over the counter facemasks are full of chemicals, which would undoubtably make the skin condition Rosacea worse. I recommend you use this home made facemask once  a week, or whenever your skin flares up. 

1/4 cup cottage cheese*

1 Tablespoon natural full fat yoghurt *

1/2 banana*

1 Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar*

(*organic if possible)

Blend all ingredients together until smooth. Apply to face and neck and leave on skin for 10 minutes. Rinse off with tepid water. Pat dry with clean, soft towel.
