Nothing makes me happier than natural, home made beauty! I love it, especially as I have rather delicate skin. I find home made beauty products work just as well if not better than shop bought products. Here are my favourite two!
Oil sugar scrub
Ingredients:
Brown sugar
Olive oil
Lemon
How to:
Get a small bowl and mix a tablespoon of brown sugar with a decent amount of olive oil until runny. Squeeze a tiny bit of lemon juice in and mix! Place it in your shower and use it all over your body, face and hair (only if your hair is exceptionally dry). Moisturise straight after.
What it does:
The brown sugar exfoliates your skin beautifully and is gentle but still harsh enough to get rid of the dry skin. The olive oil is a natural moisturiser and cleanser and will leave your skin feeling smooth and fresh. Lemon juice is so refreshing for the skin and smells yummy! This is perfect for when your skin gets a bit dry and bumpy, perfect for sensitive skin.
Banana face mask
Half a banana
Olive oil
Rolled oats
Lemon
Natural yogurt
How to:
Mash half a banana in a bowel while mixing it with a tsp of olive oil. Grab a handful of rolled oats and mix in with the banana and oil. Add yogurt in while squeezing lemon juice and mix the whole thing together. Wash you face, use toner and then spread as much face mask on as you wish! Use on you face, neck, chest, where ever you need to. Cut two round slices of cucumber and put on your eyes to freshen them up. Leave it on for as long as you want. I sometimes watch an episode of something on TV or read! Wash off and moisturise straight away.
What it does:
Banana (as we all know) works brilliantly for your skin and mixing it with yogurt will moisturise and cleanse while putting vital nutrients into the skin. Rolled oats exfoliate your skin gently while the oil and lemon provide the skin with moisture and vitamins. I love this recipe and you can use the face mask as often as you want!
These are my two top recipes that are gentle and natural. The quanty of ingrediants vary depending on your skin typer and personal preferences. Enjoy!
