Fresh Face.

   Everyone wants pretty skin! A good start would be to eat right and get a good amount of exercise. Also relaxing could really help! While you relax why not love your skin with a very simple face mask. WAIT RIGHT THERE! Don't jump up to go to the store just yet. Why not make your own mask? here are a few simple masks to try. When I say simple I mean simple because most only use a few things that you usually find right in your home!


All Types of Skin.




 1. Oatmeal Mask
You will need:
  • 1 tbsp oatmeal, finely ground
  • 1 tbsp live, organic yogurt (skip the flavored stuff)
  • A few drops of honey
First mix the yogurt and oatmeal. Then add you honey after you have warmed it a bit. After a good ten minuets rinse your skin!
 So easy right??

 2. Kitty Litter Mask
This one may seem weird but "Natural clay cat litter is made of clay formed into tiny pellets and dried. When shopping for a natural clay cat litter, check the ingredients for "sodium betonite clay" or "100 percent natural clay." These are the same clays found in more expensive masks.


You will need :
  • 1 bag cat litter (must be marked properly, see above)
  • Water
  • Drops of your favorite essential oil

Mix all ingredients and apply. Wash skin after 15 mins and wa la! smooth skin!

  • ½ avocado

Mix and apply to dry skin for 10 mins. Follow up with cold water and moisturizer. 

2. The Milk Mask -
This is one to try with a friend!!
  You will need:
  • 1 tsp powdered milk
  • 1 tbsp runny honey
  • 1 tsp aloe vera gel
  • 2 drops essential oil
 Mix all and apply for 15 mins. Wash with warm water and apply your moisturizer!

Oily Skin




1. Aspirin

You will need:

  • 1-3 aspirin
  • Coffee cup or glass cup
  • Warm honey (runny honey)
  •  moisturizer made for the face or natural oil such as almond, olive or coconut
 Smooth aspirin with cup. Then mix in remaining things. Set on face for 10 mins.
