Délicieux et hydrater des cheveux masquent

Delicious and hydrating hair mask

you will need :
1/2 of a ripe avocado
2 tablespoons honey

mash the avocado into a smooth pulp. mix in the honey into the mashed avocado. apply this mask liberally on your hair, concentrating more on the hair shaft and ends. make sure it is distributed evenly. let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. rinse it off after the session.

if you have any leftover mask, it is very good as a spread on toasted sourdough bread. this can aslo be used top hydrate dry, flaky skin (like the skin area on your knees, elbows or your neck, if you are over 80). just massage it in and leave it on for 25 to 30 minutes.

les broussailles correctives pour la peau ternee

corrective scrub for dull skin

2 tablespoons fine rice flour
2 tablespoons coarse sugar
2 teaspoons honey

dabble a wee bit of water into the rice flour, enough to turn it into a thick paste. once that consistency is obtained, mix in the honey and finally the coarse sugar. ensure the texture is gritty yet soft and crumbly. apply this over your face and massage in gentle, circular motion. rinse off.

rice flour is a natural skin whitener, the coarse sugar acts as an exfoliant and the honey is a moisturiser.

if you are uncomfortable with the sugary texture of the scrub, you may replace it with coarse sea salt.

feeling very Richie Rich? do yourself a favour honey and go for a professional facial ok?

la formule corrective pour la rougeur

corrective formula for redness on the face

some Bicarbonate of Soda
a few drops of clean water

mix it up to form a THICK paste. apply it over the redness. rinse it off after 5 minutes.

ALTERNATIVELY...

you may use an eye drop that contains witch hazel. drop a few drops over the redness and let it dry naturally. remember, anything that soothes red eyes can help soothe red, painful blotches on your face as well.

L'empêchement de visage excessivement huileux

Prevention of excessively oily face

2 tablespoons uncooked oatmeal
2 tablespoons plain yoghurt

mix them all together. after the mandatory facial wash, apply this mask liberally over your face, avoiding eye area contact. let it sit for 15 minutes. rinse off or eat it up with strawberries. wear this on twice a week and you'll get soft, lovely skin.

Oatmeal is a very good oil absorbent. When eaten regularly, oatmeal helps to reduce body cholesterol level as well.
