Beauty DIY #2

So now that you have tried the Brown Sugar Honey Scrub, I am going to share one of my favorite cleansers. Just like the Scrub, You can find the ingredient around your home. If not its just a quick trip to the store - and cheap one too! My secret is powdered milk.

Milk Cleanser

Milk has plenty of health benefits, one of them is glowing skin. There are several nutrients in milk that can help your skin.

Lactic acid - is like an exfolient and has enzymes to help smooth the skin.

Amino acid - helps keep the skin moisturized.

Antioxidants - Helps prevent damage from the elements. It also contains protein which is important for tissue repair.

　

Cleanser How To

Put two tablespoons in a bowl and mix with one tablespoon of water. Place a hot cloth on your face and leave it for about a minute, this will open your pores. Now that your face is damp apply the mixture to your forehead, T-zone and chin, just like the Scrub. Leave sit for two minutes and gently rub in circular motion.

Anyone can use this scrub, but for those allergic to milk products be aware that It may cause an irritation. It is gentle enough you can use on a daily basis. Only make the required amount at the time as it does not store well.

This will leave your skin so soft, your going to love it!
Enjoy :)

Oscar Makeup Looks 2014

Well the Oscars are over now, but my fun is just beginning! I am not a big T.V watcher as I have two children in the house, but thankfully I was able to catch up with it on the web. The Oscars is a big night for makeup. Yes, there is best dressed, but really, the makeup I believe pulls it all together. Its what makes the stars shine.

Here are some hot trends from the 2014 Oscars!

Neutral - light on color but still very flattering

Winged eyeliner - a very classic look

Brows - Defining the eyebrows and keeping the rest of the face simple

Pop of color - Orangey lips or Pinks

Bold eyelashes - Thick dark lashes

Dark red lips- not the classic red but deeper 
 
 

 
 
 

 

 
Dark Smokey eyes - Smokey browns make the eyes pop!

 

My favorite look at the Oscars this year would be defined brows. A lot of the time eyebrows are forgotten, but they are very important. Properly shaped eyebrows frame your face and draws the attention towards your eyes. They also make the face look complete.

 

Which look is your favorite? and which look would you most likely wear?



Beauty DIY

The first step to having great looking makeup is having great looking skin. Having healthy skin is just as important as eating healthy foods or exercising. For some of us we don’t know where to start, or feel the need to buy expensive products to get the job done. I am here to help you! I am going to share with you my favourite facial scrub.

Brown Sugar & Honey Scrub

Brown sugar helps scrub off the dead skin to generate new skin cells and isn’t as harsh as some salt scrubs because the grain is much smaller. It also contains glycolic acid which fights bacteria, and is a humectant, absorbing moisture from the environment and keeping it locked in.

Honey (raw or organic) has antibacterial properties which aid in healing acne, infections and wounds. It contains antioxidants and that can help clean free radicals out of your body and promote healthy skin. Honey also enhance hydration of your skin.

This scrub can be used on anyone, but for people with sensitive skin be careful not to scrub too hard. You can use it on your face or other dry problem areas like arms and legs. This scrub should not be used every day, only once a week or every couple of weeks, depending on your skin.

Scrub how to:

Combine half honey with half brown sugar, I used only a couple of tablespoons of each.

Place a hot wash cloth over your face for 1-2 minutes.

Apply scrub to forehead, cheeks, nose, chin and mouth. Do not apply to or around your eyes.

In circular motions gently rub the exfoliant around your face and down to your jaw line ( see face chart )

Wipe scrub off gently with the warm cloth, splash face with cool water.

Apply your moisturizer and ta-da! you have a beautiful glowing face that has been rid of dead skin. you will feel fresher for days to come!

If you really want to feel pampered, lock your self in the bathroom and soak in the tub afterward.. oh wait not everyone has young kids like I do!

Let me know what you think of this wonderful scrub. Check back for more on cleansing :)
