Oat Face Mask.
Really? Oats on my face Ara?
Yes! oats in your face.
Oats are great to help you reduce the excess of grease and the possible pimples in your face.
Ingredients:
8oz of plain greek yogurt
Three full tablespoons of powder oats
Mix well & refrigerate for about three hours.
How to used it:
Wash & exfoliate your face prior to apply your cold mask, after you applied it in your face leave it until it dries. Then washed it out with cold water and soap (preference glycerin soap) then, you could apply your favorite face cream with a gentle massage.
The combination of oats and greek yogurt is amazing! The acid of the yogurt will help to open your pores and the grease that it contains will help moisturize your skin. On the other hands, the oats will reduce the excess of grease and pimples.
Keep it in the fridge after each use, it could last up to three weeks refrigerate. I will recommend to this mask every two weeks.
Pink SeaSalt Body Exfoliation
One of the must amazing creations of God was the ocean. Reason why sea salt could be use as a cleanser to purify your skin and body.
You will need:
2 cups of pink sea salt
Liquid body soap (I prefer organic castle soap)
Your favorite body oil
Go into the shower and web your skin. Then applied the soap and exfoliate your skin with the sea salt. After you done exfoliating your entire body shower as regular.
Then applied the oil all over your body before you dried your skin, and let it be absorbed.
You could do this exfoliation once a week.
I recommend to rinse with cold water to close your pores because they will open after the exfoliation.
Mask for Damage Hair.
Many of the factors that usually damage our hair are weather changes, the constant used of the flat iron, sun exposure and hair products that contain un-needed ingredients such as alcohol.
Ingredients:
One whole egg
A tablespoon of mayonnaise
Two tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil
Beat all the ingredients until they are well combine.
While massaging apply the mask all over your hair except on your scalp then cover your hair with a shower cap. Leave for at least 30 minutes. Then washed and style your hair as usual.
You could applied it every two weeks until you reach the desired results.
Night Time Bath Routine.
Who doesn't love to sleep all night like a baby?
We all love that. This bath routine will help you sleep tight after a long day at work or after a long and busy day doing your personal things. It's also excellent to reduce stress specially to those who have small kids that require more attention. Remember that you also need to spend time to yourself.
Prepare your might first. Yes, your might first.
In know 🙄.
Tell her to relax that is YOU time and is time to get ready to sleep. Don't bring any stressful situation that happened to you during the day into the shower, keep your might focus on relaxation.
I usually love cold water, but at night I graduated fresh or warm. Use your favorite soap and auto massage your skin showing her some appreciation and love. After you shower, I recommend you to apply some lavender lotion or lavender essential body oil. Do you a face massage with your night time face cream or rose face oil.
For your face massage you could used a Rose Quartz Facial Roller if you have one.
After you finish with your relaxing shower drink a nice and warm cup up decaffeinated tea with a splash of honey.
If you love sweet just like me 🥰
My favorite teas at night are decaffeinated green tea with some drops of lime. I also love chamomile, detox & anise tea.
