Day 16 of MY Beauty Secrets

I have super sensitive skin! So I often like to whip up my own potions for my skin. This is one of my go to’s especially when my skin is needs it.

What you will need is:

First wash your face…

1 Ripe 🥑 Avocado

1/4 cup of oatmeal (uncooked)

Avocado,honey & oat face and neck mask

2 tablespoons of raw organic honey 🍯

Mix well all of the above ingredients.

If you are allergic to any ingredients do not use them all.

Apply the mixture to your face. I also like to include my neck too.

It may be a bit messy but so worth it!

Allow it to rest on your face for at least 15 minutes.

Wash off your face with a lukewarm washcloth drenched with water.

The honey and avocado moisturize your skin. The oatmeal calms and soothes.

Great to do this once or twice a month.

I hope enjoy this creamy hydrating treat for your skin.

Enjoy!

Keeping cool while it is hot!

Those of you who have been reading my blog know me by now. If you’re new I welcome you!
I LOVE eating,cooking,whipping things up in my kitchen… some recipes to entertain guests and feed my husband. Some of the recipes I make just for me. Some I share with my clients and pamper their skin with. Owning a beauty business is lovely and my shelves are lined with ALL THINGS glam and good for your skin.

But sometimes I love to be a part of what I put on my skin!

Here is a simple recipe I created years ago and use often. Now, is the time we need keep hydrated and want to keep cool.

What do cucumbers do 4 YOU?
They contain cooling nutrients and vitamins like vitamin C and more. The cucumber helps soothe the skin, tones down puffiness and can even reduce swelling.

Honey softens your skin and locks in moisture.

Warm and oh so cozy …Spiced Wine

I love to entertain, kiss and cook! This week and or weekend why not whip up this recipe for a warm wine brew?

1 Liter of red wine

A little bit under a  1/2 cup of sugar

4 cloves

2 cinnamon sticks

1 teaspoon of organic honey

Warm all of the above on the stove top. Bring to a bit of a boil, strain  and pour in mugs.

I first tasted this in my travels to Italy…in cool or cold weather or when I entertain this is one of my warm and cozy recipes. Another version can be to add a dash of nutmeg and some lemon or orange peel. Either recipe it is delicious.

It’s a wonderful life! SIP!
