How to motivate the blood circulation in your face to reveal a brighter-younger looking skin

Image
Salut mes amis: My skin condition is considered good, however I suffered in the past weeks from dullness. Neither scrubbing nor hydrating was working enough for me. So I started searching for anything that could help me get rid of the dullness until I met this miracle ingredient. Yes COFFEE. Coffee is packed with caffeine which is our gold ingredient here. Caffeine stimulates the blood vesicles beneath the skin  and hence motivate the blood to flow in the area caffeine is applied to. In other words it directs the flow of blood which is packed with oxygen and nutrients to the targeted area. I use coffee on my skin through a mask mixture. This mask is perfect for brightening the skin, scrubbing off dead cells and tightening the pores. It is perfect also for reducing cellulite. You can apply this mask to the thighs and hips to get rid of cellulite,  Here is how to make the mask: A- 1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil B- 1 table spoon of any coffee grounds (sometim...

My Skin Smoothing Product.. The Best Before Wearing Makeup

Image
I do not suffer from big pores. I never used mattifying primers, my skin is too dry by it is own.  When I first knew about this method, I was searching for a way to reduce the appearance of intense black circles, also to increase the brightness of my skin. "GREEN TEA ICE CUBES" is the solution for  magical skin. I started using green tea ice cubes for about 2 months at this point, and they work like magic! I apply one cube in the morning to help me with the puffiness especially under the eye area, and I apply one cube at night before my night time skin care regime to refresh the blood circulation in my skin.  I truly found incredible results in the overall smoothness/brightness of my skin. These ice cubes helped me with the firmness of my skin and gave me a more youthful look. I like the redness incorporated with the ice application as it shows how the blood is flowing in the skin, this helps in reducing any blue/green spots in the skin especially in the ca...

Very Dry Cuticles are Gone !

Image
I tried everything. Moisturizers, mani-pedi and cuticles oil. Nothing worked, the results disappear in few hours! I am just a dry skin monster. My body skin inhales moisturizers. It is never enough hydration for it. Not to mention that I drink water in very good amounts.  It is just me being dry for ever - Hahaha- . I visited one beauty salon once, I was trying to get rid of my gelish nail polish. The spa expert recommended the gelish so I can stop my nails from breaking! So I  noticed how they put the gelish remover liquid in a cotton swap and wrap it on my nails using foil. This way the liquid penetrated very well to the nail and it takes no time and effort when removing. In the same night I got a teaspoon of coconut oil and a teaspoon of almond oil with a spritz of lemon juice. I heated the oils first using a water bath - the same method used to melt chocolate- . I put the mixture all over my cuticles and nails, soak cotton swaps with the mixture and wrap them ...

My DIY Scrub before using self tanners

Image
I use sunless tanners very often as I originally have very fair skin - no problem with having fair skin at all - but I like the bronze glow so I fake tan.  You have to scrub your body very well before self tanning as sunless tanners have the ability to attach to dry skin and develop more color. As a result you will end up with too many patches that are darker than your bronzed final color.  To avoid that we have to scrub, I do my own body scrub. It is organic and more beneficial to my skin as I am avoiding chemicals. The ingredients you need as follows: 1- Coconut Oil / Olive oil  2- Brown Sugar 3- Little of Almond Oil I mix both olive and coconut oil - Olive oil is good for radiance and coconut oil is good for hydration-. Then I put the brown sugar and make sure that it does not completely dissolve in the oil - sugar particles are meant to be the scrubbing beads- so if it vanished add more sugar to the mixture until you can feel the sugar ...

This miracle mask is used mostly for brightening effect. It helps with discoloration and scars and it moisturize the face due the existence of honey in its ingredients.
