FRESH SPRING FACIALS YOU CAN DO AT HOME
Spring has sprung,excitment is in the air,weather's beautiful, and everyone is coming out of winter hibernation-love it.Love this time of year- makeup,beauty and skincare is so exciting-the colours,the products and the bare skin!However,with bare skin in mind, spring is a great time to shed some not so attractive dead skin cells and reveal a fresh dewy complexion that's primed for moisurisers,makeup or faketan.If makeup and faketan isn't your thing that's ok too,your skin will look fresh and glowing with a few tweaks-DIY facials and body scrubs that are easy and fun.
FACIAL 1
The simplest (and best) DIY facial is to squeeze fresh lemon juice into organic natural yogurt and apply to cleansed skin as a face pack for 5-10mins.rinse off with cool water,pat dry and apply moisturiser.done.Do this once or twice a week and you'll start to see a difference in the appearance of your skin-fresh,radiant and more youthful looking.
FACIAL 2
Mash avocado with a small amount of olive oil into a paste.Apply to cleansed skin and lie down for 15mins(and yes,you have got 15 mins!).This works a treat for really dry,parched,and sun damaged skin.Wipe off,splash face and apply moisturiser as normal.
FACIAL 3
Mash banana and add small amount natural yogurt,mix to a paste and apply to cleansed skin for 5-10mins then rinse pat dry and moisturise as normal.
FACIAL 4
Use roughly 2 tablespoons of papaya pulp and allow to sit on skin for 10mins,then rinse,splash face and admire your amazing skin!moisturise afterward.
BODY SCRUBS
You can make a very effective body scrub using raw sugar and olive oil,mix the two and use it in the shower-it's a great way of sloughing off dead skins cells without stripping the skin of valuable oils and prior to fake tan application.
I found the following recipe in a magazine a few years ago and have been using it ever sinse.IT IS AMAZING.(I think it's Balinese)
Mix ground coffee,cinnamon powder,coconut oil,coconut cream all together and scrub away.It's easier to apply in the shower when skin is damp but it is messy and I usually have to clean the shower recess then and there to avoid stain buildup etc.But it's so good and skin tingles afterward.Use a rich body butter to moisturise whole body and you'll look and feel amazing.
Happy spring cleaning! love fiona
