Blotchiness,Problems with Pores?




Normal/Oily Skin


1 tablespoon yeast,1 tablespoon baking soda,1 teaspoon water. Mix ingredients together and apply from forehead to neck Allow mask to sit for 8-10 minutes (it will not dry or harden) the yeast deep-cleans and tightens pores and the baking soda evens out blotchiness. Rinse with warm water and follow with an oil-free moisturizer.

About Facial Mask

There are natural masks for every type of skin. Whichever mask you use, apply it once per week on clean as can be skin. Tie your hair back or tuck it into a shower cap to keep it from getting sticky. Place a towel over your pillow to catch any drips when you lie down. These mask do their best work within 8-10 minutes and should be washed off with cool water. Prepare your mask just before you use it. Then apply to your face, lie back with your eyes closed and relax. Enjoy a few minutes of quiet time or listen to some soft music. This is a good time for relaxing or meditating.
After your mask, cleanse and moisturize(face and neck) and don't forget to apply your eye cream.

Beauty Tip

Many women and students just do not have the time to dedicate to their hair and face. Here are some helpful tips to look good while your rushing or for those that do not like wearing too much make up. This will take only five minutes or less.

For a classy and clean look, if you want to pull your hair back make sure you slick your hair back and you can buy a ponytail to add to your hair or do a messy bun. Don't just apply the hair gel or spray, apply it to slick your hair back, and then make sure you brush it so that it doesn't have that hard look. When adding a hair piece, make sure it is the same color as your natural hair. There are many hair pieces, such as a bun, a pony tail and a braid.
Don't have time to do your face? Remember to always begin by cleansing and moisturizing your face.  Now, Apply Primer to your face. If you need some coverage, but you don't want a heavy foundation, use a BB cream. Next is the bronzer or shimmer on your cheeks, and use it to contour your forehead, nose and chin area. If you don't want to wear a neutral color lipstick then just apply Chap Stick or your favorite balm or gloss. On days I like to be natural, I like lining and filling my lips with a light neutral color lip liner. It last longer than lipsticks or I wear a neutral color lip stain lipstick. Apply a light color eye shadow to your eyelid area only. Spray a setting spray or you can make your own cucumber water and put inside a travel empty spray bottle. Last but not least...apply mascara to your top lashes and with the tip of the brush, go back and forth, going across very lightly at the bottom lashes.
You’re done. A clean and classy look!

Skin that Glows

I was asked the question...How do you get that natural glow look that you see in the magazines.

You can get the glow by brushing on a light golden bronzer with a blush brush on your face. Not too much, just enough that you see the shimmer. Don't forget your Chap Stick,clear lip gloss, lip stainer or use lip liner to line and fill in your lips. When you apply lip liner on lips, it stays longer and it will be a matte look. If you want it shiny then just apply gloss on top. This time add mascara to your top eyelashes only. Use brown or black. If you have to cover up flaws, use a concealer that is your skin tone and blend or you can use Fix foundation. Apply lightly on areas needed. Blend.  For underneath the eyes and on top of cheeks, bridge of nose and on your cupid bow, go one shade lighter. My FAVORITE highlighter for those areas is by Benefit "Erase paste". I absolutely love it. It is a brightening camouflage for eyes and face. When taking pictures, it has no back flash so your face looks radiant. See picture.  There you go! Your natural glow look!

I added picture below so that you can see how the Benefit erase paste looks on my skin.
