food for the skin

So lately I’ve been really busy between doing what I love as an artist and spending as much time on the outdoors with family and friends, sometimes I just want to come home, put my feet up and relax. One of the things I like to splurge on  is a day at the spa.  I discovered some ingredients that I used from my pantry to create a face/body scrub and a mask for an at-home-spa-retreat using all but natural ingredients.

Exfoliator: to remove dead skin off the surface of the skin

- sugar (brown is better,granules are finer) get rid of dead skin on the surface of the skin leaving your skin radiant and smooth

- Olive oil  

 *optional -vanilla extract-to give it a scent

Mask- to balance skin ph

Avocado – rich in Vitamin E prevents skin’s damage from free radicals and keeps skin hydrated

and enjoy!

Four secret concealer places that will make your face look more awake.

1.The inner corners of the eye ( part that’s  is darkest around the eye area)

2Either sides of the nosril ( minimizes discoloration)

3.Either sides of the mouth ( hide imperfections)

4. under the eyes (cover-up dark circles)

Using a small concealer brush helps to get right up in the corners where  your fingers can’t reach.

foundation or not

A lot of the time women feel the need or pressure to wear makeup  everyday, which is ok if you’re ok with it, but makeup doesn’t necessarily mean a full face of makeup (foundation,powder,blush,eyeliner,lip liner lipstck/gloss) all the time. I find that I have found the pleasure in having fun with makeup if you give it a break (go without) have a little, and going all-out when needed (special occassions) and so on. To me its almost like a treat when I get a full face of makeup because I look forward to doing it and not just doing it because I have to or feel naked without it. Some Mascara, lipgloss an a little eyeliner and you’re good to-go.
