Squeaky clean!

  We've all had those nights when we sleep with our makeup. However the rule is to clean first no matter what. Woken up with a slimy, swollen face where foundation seeped its way into the pores. That requires a double clean up routine and no room for applying makeup for several hours as the skin needs to breathe otherwise, just wait for those red pimples to pop up in no time.

  The answer to the problem is The Body Shop's Tea Tree Cool and Creamy wash. I apply makeup almost everyday, even though I clean up regularly there are those times where I am downright tired and just use this wash. Since I started using the Tea Tree Cool and Creamy I find my skin to be squeaky clean.

  It removes makeup thoroughly. The formula contains peppermint which makes the face feels light and even calms the swollen look.

  The smell might be a little medicated however, its not strong and does not linger.

  This face wash is from the tea tree collection which is especially made for blemished skin. They claim "skin spotlessly clean without over drying." This I found true I have dry skin and it did not make it more dry after wash. I don't have acne problems now a days hence can't say much but due to threading and waxing on face their is redness which does come down due to the peppermint.

Keep summers fresh!

Hello,

Quick tip as summers are here, hydrated skin is ever important, especially with the minimal makeup trend . Just remember to fill a spray bottle with rose water or get hold of The Body Shop's Vitamin E face mist and spray it a couple of times throughout the day. It does not matter how many times a day you do as its just rose water and as soon as you spray your skin will feel fresh!

Keep the bottle in your fridge so you can use it while cooking and take it with you to the beach or outdoor trips. Its nothing harmful and can be sprayed on children's skin as well.

The Body Shop's face mist also boasts to hold your makeup can't say much for that as the spray is not very refined and your skin definitely gets wet so I don't try to use it after my makeup. However, I think it will be good if your skin dries and lines start appearing this will keep it moist.

Tea Tree Blessing!

Hello,

I got a couple of sachets from The Body Shop of their masks and here is the review for the Tea Tree mask.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: (http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/shop-by-line/tea-tree/tea-tree-face-mask.aspx)

This instantly cooling face mask cleanses, soothes and refreshes the skin.

• Helps remove impurities
• Absorbs excess oil
• Soothes skin

This mask is best for people who get face wax and are victims to pimples and redness. As soon as you apply it there will be a cooling sensation this helps in reducing the itchiness in pimples and soothes the redness.

According to the website : HOW TO APPLY: 

Smooth a thin layer onto pat-dried skin, clean face and neck with your fingertips. Leave for 5 to 10 minutes (mask will not dry). Then rinse off with clean water and pat skin dry. Use once or twice per week, after cleansing.

This mask should not be used for people who have dry skin very often Once a month is good. As I have dry skin I noticed a dry skin patch when I applied makeup the next day. I would buy the full sized product however because I have acne problems and especially after face wax my face needs some cooling mask. Now I would remember to put on a heavy moisturizer afterwards.

I have heard other users say it helps to remove black heads, I did not notice however maybe after continuous use this fact come up to the surface. 

The result is amazing, my pimples have soothed and redness was reduced.

D.I.Y: Smooth and fresh face

Hello,

Lemon+sugar

I recently saw a video about a face cleansing mix by Kandee Johnson (MUA+Youtube guru). She soaked the cotton pad in lemon juice and puts sugar on it.

According to her it helped getting rid of black heads and takes off the dead skin.

I really enjoyed trying this quick mix. Do try it over your sink so all the sugar granules fall in the sink and you don't end up making a mess else where.

Do wash your face from warm water first and then start gently massaging the mix on face and neck.

Clean it from a wet wash cloth. My skin felt so smooth and soft especially my neck area. 

I recommend trying it once a week but not on sun tan/burnt skin(lemon is acidic it might react).

D.I.Y Winter/Summer face prep

Hello everyone!

Are you fighting dry skin or is your face complexion looking down because of the scorching heat? Lately mine was and I came across this amazing natural face moisturizer (you can call this something between a face moisturizer and facial from the salon!)

So I ran to my kitchen cabinets and  found the best ingredients olive oil and honey (pretty simple). Took 1 teaspoon of honey and a little less than a teaspoon of olive oil and mixed them together and gently massaged it on my face and neck (never forget the neck). In addition grab a small towel and soak it in warm water and place it on you face so the pores can open up to let the ingredients sink in. You can dab your the face with warm water before applying the mix to avoid the towel, either way is good!

I laid down for 15 minutes and by the time I was up my skin absorbed the mixture. I gently wiped my face with water only and voila my skin was soft and supple. 

Among many benefits honey is known to have properties which helps to refresh and rejuvenate skin which is great for the hot summer months. Olive oil is an all rounder for the inside and outside. Consistent use of olive oil on the face can correct uneven skin tone as well.

Quick tip: best to do a night or even a few hours before an event. Skin will be so smooth which will make applying makeup very easy.

Take care and remember the simple things!
