TWO Quick Beauty Tips!

#1) This quick little facial mask is a great mask for ACNE and refreshing and soothing the skin...perfect for the summer!

STRAWBERRY AND YOGURT MASK

Ingredients:

-some strawberries (mushed)

-plain yogurt

Just mush some strawberries and add it to some yogurt, and stir to mix. Or, you can quickly blend it. Leave it on for about 10-15 minutes

Why these ingredients?

-Strawberries are a natural source of saliyic acid (yes... the one that is found in many acne products)

-Yogurt, helps refresh and soothe the skin; has well has tighten it.

2) MOISTURIZE WITH COCONUT OIL

You can find coconut oil at health food store...like Whole Foods maybe.

Coconut oil (NOT coconut milk) :

-Has antibacterial properties (it may kill bacteria from any blemishes/zits)

-It's immensely moisturizing. Just like an oil, it is super moisturizing, and it keeps dry skin at bay.

** Oily skin people might not want to try this...

I hope this two quick NATURAL beauty tips to get gorgeous skin helps you!

Summer Time Skin Routine!

Where I live, there's no more snow, and it's always about 60-70 degrees during the afternoon. Summer is also the time where my skin gets more irritated (UGH!) and where a struggle to keep skin cool happens.

Well, I checked out some skin care things around the web, and I put together a grand finale piece that has been doing me good.... :

MORNING:

My flour and yogurt cleanser. http://tsorain.blogspot.com/2010/10/heres-another-amazing-facial-cleanser.html

This is one of the weirdest cleansers, but it works amazingly...

If the link doesn't work, go to the 'skin care' tab and scroll down to the very last

EVENING:

This is when I come home from school.

Use OLIVE OIL to take off my makeup ( just take a cotton ball, with some drops of olive oil, and apply it on your face in circular motions)

Rub CUCUMBERS on my face real quick, just to cool down and reduce any puffiness

Put PLAIN YOGURT on my face for about 10-15 minutes, and then rinse it off. (to keep the skin supple and cool everyday). I use a new art brush to apply the yogurt on my face, since it can carefully reach in places my hands can't..

Moisturize with Olive Oil, Coconut oil, or Eucerin. And then lock it in with petroleum jelly, so my skin doesn't become dehydrated.

It sounds (kinda) like a complicated routine, but it's really quite simple. I use sunscreen before I put on my primer, even though my foundation has SPF.

I can't live without: My everyday yogurt mask.

Without that, my skin would be all puffy and red all over...

I hope this helps some of you guys with summer, and it's skin time. I personally, have found out, that I get better skin with natural skin care. If YOU have any cool techniques or homemade recipes/ideas PLEASE email them to tsorain@gmail.com

I'll post it on here!

Olive oil, yogurt, honey, and sugar facial MASK

MUAHH!

Thanksgiving is coming up! (so Happy Thanksgiving!)

Fall is so beautiful(: And it's so amazing, this year has gone so fast!

For some time, around Halloween, all you would see is Pumpkins!
EVERYWHERE.

Anyways, I'm betting that a lot of people are driving north, south, east and west to get to their families and friends, or for a vacation. Well, you wanna look AMAZING! Right?

Well, I have this awesome facial mask that's gonna prep you and doll you all up for thanksgiving.

I know that a lot of people, hit the gym at this time. Lately, this week, in the gym, I suddenly see so much people!

Everyone wants to get in shape for thanksgiving, so why not have amazing skin too!

So this is what you'll need:

-Olive Oil

-Yogurt (Plain)

-Honey

-Sugar

-dish/container

-something to mix it all

Why use these ingredients:

Olive Oil- I can't tell you how much wonders this does for skin. It's been told that the Ancient Greeks and Romans used to wash their faces with olive oil. And Italian women swear by this amazing natural gift. It has omega 3 fatty acids which are really really really good for your skin and your body.

Yogurt- This has Alpha Hydroxy acids which exfolaite and refine, and refresh your skin. And it tightens it to reveal glowing, smooth skin.

Honey- Honey is wonderfulo for you too. It has so much ....amazing. Enough said. You can search it if you wanna ;) But I promise, it's really good for your skin. It does WONDERS!

Sugar- Sugar exfoliates really well(:

I hate putting parts, telling how many tsp. of this and that, so I just don't do it. Just put mix those ingredients well, and you'll know when it's done or not. I mean it shouldn't run like milk, but like mushy and then liquidy. You'll know:)

Be sure to moisturize right after this, and you can use either a warm washcloth or wipe it off, or just rinse it off. And be sure to use sunscreen!
