DIY FACIAL MASKS






As a female I know we all feel the same way.... SOMETIMES you just need to stay at home, ALONE (or lock yourself in a room), put on some music, maybe draw a bath, and PUT A MASK ON YOUR FACE!

YES! Masks..... they make you feel, well.... girly. They make your face look pretty!

MORE ADVANCED ANTI-WRINKLE MASK

The cucumber diminishes hyper pigmentation, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. The egg white firms and tightens, and the lemon juice exfoliates.

Smaller Pores, Even Skin Tone and No More Wrinkles!





So... you want smooth, wrinkle free skin with even skin tone? Well you found the right place!


Please! Don't go into this thinking you will look like the girl in the picture.... She is Photoshopped... she doesn't even look like that ;) In order to be happy we have to understand that not everything that is in our view is real. This is a BIG problem in our society. Everyone want to look like the people in the magazines, but in reality only a computer program and perfect lighting can make you look like a mannequin.


It's really sad that this is placed in front of us ALL THE TIME because it is unattainable and therefore we are are all set up to fail.... so we buy, buy and buy more and more stuff hoping one day.... we will look like them. But here is the deal! You are beautiful, they are photoshopped and that is it!


SO, lets get down to stuff for living breathing humans! Yeah? Ok? Great!


I grew up with a family of women who wont mow the front lawn without their make-up on and hair done.... and when it comes to wrinkles and large pores OH MAN they have tried everything under the sun. I have spent years searching for a more natural cure for getting rid of winkles and large pores.... and I have found the answer! Plus its natural and can ALL be found in your local grocery store!!







 
Everything you need to cure ailments or fix your "imperfections" was created in nature first. I love to live by the idea (when possible) that you shouldn't put anything on your skin that you wouldn't put in your mouth. REMEMBER, your skin is a giant organ, it is soaking up everything you put on it. FEED your skin, don't poison it.





Wrinkles Be Gone Grape Treatment


  • This also helps with acne and pore size.
    1.) Determine how many grapes you will need for your green grape wrinkle therapy and slice them in half. You should use one grape halve per wrinkled area.
    2.) Firmly press the grape halves into the first wrinkle until the juices coat the skin surface then move grapes in a circular motion, think of them as erasers, erasing your wrinkles. Grapes contain alpha hydroxy acids that assist the skin in exfoliation and tightening and is found in most wrinkle products. Removing the dead skin cells from the surface can drastically reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
    3.) Allow the grape's juices to soak the wrinkles for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water and then pat your face dry with a towel.
    4.) Repeat this treatment three times a day for best results. Wrinkles should diminish in as little as one to two weeks. Keep up with use once or twice daily for continued wrinkle free skin.
    *For you visual learners, like myself, I found a video on YouTube (not me) giving you easy instructions on how to do this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVatmut_NkE






 

Lemon Skin Lightening Treatment


This one is super easy and can also help reduce acne.

1.) Cut a Lemon into quarter pieces and rub the lemon on the area you wish to lighten. Leave on for 10 minutes.

2.) Rinse with warm water and pat dry.

3.) Repeat twice daily until desired color is reached. Watch out for over drying, because lemons can be very drying due to the amount of acidic juice in them. Make sure to moisturize after treatments. This is great for age spots on arms and the back of hands.









Tomato Juice Pore Reducer


1.) Pour 4 tbsp. natural, and preferably organic tomato juice into a bowl. Microwave the juice 10 seconds on a high temperature. The warming sensation will soothe the skin.

2.)Dip 2 to 4 cotton balls into the tomato juice. Apply them to areas where you see enlarged pores, saturating the skin. Tomatoes contain high levels of acidity and potassium that strengthen the pores, reducing the visibility of enlarged pores.

3.) Allow the tomato juice to soak the skin for 20 minutes. Rinse with cool water and let skin air dry.
Repeat this treatment two times daily for three weeks for best results.










Vitamin E Oil

1.) Buy organic 100% pure vitamin E oil pills

2.) Every night take one pill orally and puncture the second pill with a neelde and rub onto your face.

Night time is when you rejuvenate for the next day so its important to do this before bed. 

This helps with scarring, acne, wrinkles, fine lines and rebuilding collagen. 

You should start seeing results in 2-3 weeks and full results at 8 months! Keep up the work to get the results you want!
