Indulgent Body Treat

The one thing I absolutely enjoy is indulging my whole body, It is recommended (by me) that once a week is a great time to do this. Taking time out to pamper, meditate, relax and be one with yourself. One way I indulge my whole body, pamper and take care of it is by making myself an at home Body Scrub.  Yes a Body Scrub made by me at my home, no spa.
During any weather it is a great way to:

1.)Exfoliate your skin
2.)Improve cellulite on the skin and improve skin aging
3.)Increase circulation and flow
4.)Great way to relax

 1.) 1Cup Small granules sugar/salt
 2.) 1/2 Cup Coconut Oil or Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 3.) Plastic Bowl
 4.) Spoon
 5.) Your choice of essential oil
    (optional, i like lavender and peppermint which is both refreshing and soothing)

What to do:
 1.) Mix all the ingredients with the spoon into the bowl
 2.) Apply to your skin in the bathroom with rag or bare hands

And that is all my beauties enjoy this wonderful recipe your Body will Thank You..:-)

Acne Treatment

As Men and Women, we have all suffered from acne as teenagers and as adults, all of a sudden its a blemish here, then a blemish there then all we see is that blemish on our face. Isn't that true? And we make it our mission to get that blemish from off our face by any means necessary and the first thing we do is try to pop that bad boy just to get rid of it.
 

But my beauties...STOP.. before you even think about putting your fingers to your face which can cause further scaring, consider this little treatment. Lavender Oil it is one of the many natural beauty secrets.Lavender Oil also contains several potent antibacterial compounds. It is gentle enough that it can be used topically on the skin without causing irritation, and a great addition to your acne routine. I use this every night after washing and before moisturizing my face. Applying lavender essential oil to your pimple can be an effective treatment if nothing else works. 

However, take care not to apply lavender essential oil to your whole face. The solution is very concentrated and may not be suitable for all skin types.Begin by applying the oil to a small area of the skin to make sure there are no problems.Lavender oil is an excellent first step when beginning acne treatment. Unlike many pharmaceutical remedies, the oil is usually easy on the skin and does not produce excessive dryness or irritation. When used over time, lavender oil can help reduce the appearance of breakouts. Regular oil users claim that lavender has astringent properties that remove pore impurities and can rejuvenate the skin.

Try it and let me know how it works. Its not magic so give it time and that blemish will be gone....Enjoy.

What you need: Lavender oil, cotton ball or fingers

What to do: Apply lavender to cotton ball or fingers apply to face, leave on face.

 

Drink Right

If you want younger looking skin, healthier hair, skin and body one thing you can do today, visit your refrigerator. Open it there you will find what?........Water. It has been noted by beauticians that a cool-water rinse leaves hair glossier, the chilly temp constricts the cuticle layer of your hair so it lies flatter; making strands smoother. So pay attention to your fluid intake it will be reflected outward on your skin as well.

What Water can do for you:

• Enhance your health
• Increase your energy
• Brighten and clear your eyes, making you look younger
• Giving you a  radiant complexion

How water helps you from the inside?:

• Carries nutrients to every cell in your body
• Flushes out toxins from the body
• Improves circulation and blood flow within your body
• Lubricates your joints

Increased water output requires a person to increase the water intake. Hot weather, Exercise, other activities and being in a heated environment especially will cause your body to loose water. So it is beneficial to add that water back. If you have clear urine, your thirst is quenched, you feel good, your skin reflects the same, then you are drinking enough water. So today start off right with a cup of  Water and enjoy the long term benefits...:-)
