Sometimes food on your face makes you hotter, this is one of those times.our bodies largest organ is our skin - so why not feed it just as well as the rest of our bodies? Whatever we put on our skin is absorbed into our internal system.
Kakes and Sarah - you will appreciate these - also you should have Val add some of her fab recipes
To clean your face:
Sugar scrub for normal skin:
1/4c sugar
salicylic acid from willow bark (you can soak willow bark in alcohol, order from http://www.bulkactives.com/whitewillowbark.htm, or mash up 1 aspirin)
1/2 lemon - lemon juice
1/2 banana/ 1 tbsp honey/1/2 avocado/1 tbsp olive oil/1 tbsp vitamin E oil/ 1 egg yolk and or 1/2 c cream (base to hold everything together and add hydration.)
Toner:
1/2 c lavender or rose water
1 tsp almond or olive oil
12 drops grapefruit seed extract
Mask:
My fav masks are clay masks and you have to buy or go and find the clay you want to use - I used the Origins clear improvements clay mask.
hydrate!
Then I use Vitamin E oil to re-hydrate or the Vitamin C renewal facial cream
Why it works:
Honey: a natural humectant, which means it is great at retaining moisture. Also honey is naturally anti-microbial because of the high concentration of sucrose which basically suffocates anything that tries to grow in it.
Sugar: the glycolic acid in sugar and its crystalline structure make it a great exfoliant
Olive oil/almond oil: full of antioxidants and vitamin E which help repair damage, prevent further damage, and moisturize skin.
Eggs: the protein in eggs make it a great repair for skin and hair.
Avocado: high in both vitamin C and E as well as healthy fats which moisturize your skin.
