Natural skincare night!



Tonight, A close friend of mine and myself both made a list of natural beauty remedies to try and use this evening as a time for relaxation and to pamper ourselves!
I am going to tell you in this blog all the recipes we tried and how to make them yourself, they are all very simple!

First we started with removing our makeup and applying the face mask -

AVOCADO AND HONEY FACE MASK: All you need is one half of a avocado mashed in a bowl, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Combine together in the bowl until it has turned to a thick paste and well combined, then paint it onto your face and leave to set for 15/20 minutes. We both loved this face mask! it smells yummy, and leaves skin feeling soft and glowing and very hydrated.

We then moved onto rinsing off the mask then applying our face scrub -

LEMON AND SUGAR FACE SCRUB:
You will need a couple of drops of rose hip oil, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 2 tables spoons of castor sugar and half a lemon squeezed. Combine these together in a small bowl and gently apply in soft circular motions all over the face for 1 minute, then rinse!
This feels amazing and smells like homemade lemonade! it leaves skin feeling silky soft to.

Now onto the lip scrub...

COCO HONEY OLIVE LIP SCRUB:
  You can lick this off your lips....unless you are on a sugar free diet then it probably is not the best idea for you! This lip scrub works really well and leaves your lips feeling smooth and soft and gets rid of flakiness or dryness. I would recommend doing this a couple times a week, all you need is a teaspoon of coconut oil, teaspoon of honey, teaspoon of olive oil and a teaspoon of sugar.
Combine together and scrub away, then rinse.

Next was the ...

OLIVE OIL CLEANSER:
This is very simple, all you need is olive oil...and only a few drops of it.
Slowly massage olive oil all over your face for about a minute, then with a cotton pad soaked in warm/hot water press it gently onto face and wipe away the oil, after this, splash your face a few times with cold water to remove any excess oil. We found that this worked great and is very hydrating!

And last of all was the simple....

COCONUT EYE TREATMENT:
This is extremely simple! all you need is to massage a little coconut oil over your eyelids and under eyes for a hydrated look everyday, this also helps with puffiness, skin dryness and dark circles over time. A must try!

Enjoy! I hope you find the results amazing like we did! :)
