Sugar Almond Oil Body Scrub

Sugar Almond Oil Body Scrub

Summer season means bikini season!  Just like you wouldn't wear old clothes to a new school year, you shouldn't wear your winter-dry skin to the beach!  Exfoliating your skin will give your body a fresh and more polished look and feel.

I created this scrub because I have used almond oil and grapeseed oil before and it works wonders on your skin.  These oils are great for your skin because the almond oil is rich in Vitamin E which is great for helping keep away wrinkles and grapeseed oil is great for helping your skin retain its moisture.  This is especially important because grapeseed oil is unlike alcohol based moisturizers that evaporate after a few hours.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of almond oil (Choose from these.)
1/2 cup of grapeseed oil (Choose from these.)
2 cups granulated sugar (regular white sugar)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Directions:



Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until you reach a thick pasty consistency with sugar granules.
Massage the scrub all over your body in circular motions, making sure to go easy on the more sensitive parts like your abdomen and inner arm.  You can scrub your knees and elbows more vigorously.

Rinse off and pat dry.  If you feel too greasy, you can use a mild body wash to remove some of the excess oil.

Enjoy!

Honey & Almond Oil Homemade Face Mask

Honey & Almond Oil Homemade Face Mask

Moisturizing your face is essential for preventing wrinkles and fine lines from appearing later on.  You should start taking care of your skin at a young age.  Of course, the last thing you want to do is risk putting harsh chemicals on your skin so you can start with this homemade remedy.

The honey and the egg yolk will penetrate your skin and moisturize it.  The honey also helps your skin retain moisture.

Almond oil is rich in unsaturated fats and essential fatty acids which get easily absorbed into your skin.  It is also rich in Vitamin E and Vitamin K.  Vitamin E is an great antioxidant which also helps keep you skin safe from free radicals (chemicals) in the air.

Similar to honey, it helps reduce the skin's water loss (helps to bind the water) thus reducing dry, and rough skin.

Ingredients:
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp honey
10 drops of almond oil

Directions:
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl to make your mask.  Leave it on for 10-15 minutes and make sure you're completely relaxed at the same time :) Take some time out for yourself!

Rinse off thoroughly and pat dry.  Remember to use a toner after you wash your face, followed by a moisturizer!  Toning is extremely important because it balances the pH level of your skin and also closes your pores so that the moisturizer and other dirt don't get into your pores and clog them.

Enjoy happier skin!
