Shimmering hair programme
you will need :
a glass of good vodka or gin
juice of 1 fresh lime
a glass of champagne
mix the vodka or gin with the fresh lime juice. after your mandatory shampoo, DO NOT CONDITION. instead rinse hair with this. flash rinse hair in cold water after that. the champagne is for you to drink.
vodka and gin seals hair shafts nice and smooth while lime juice is rich in Vitamin C, a natural hair conditioner. the juice also actually masks the alcoholic smell of the vodka (gin smells lovely). you would not want to leave the house smelling like Amy Winehouse, do you?

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?
