Amazing Sweet Orange & Citron Body Scrub
The expensive sugar scrubs you see in stores actually cost pennies to and really easy to make at home! Salt and sugar body scrubs are very simple beauty recipes and most importantly they are incredibly moisturising and
exfoliate the skin deeply. Exfoliating helps to rejuvenate the skin by removing the dead skin layer and leaves the skin smoother and fresher.
Since it is the end of the summer and most of us have been exposing to the sun regularly, we decided to post another DIY body scrub that will nourish deeply your skin. However this time we decided to make sugar-based scrub, as sugar tends to be more gentle to the skin and we chose carrot oil as a carrier.
Carrot oil is very rich in antioxidants that help to prevent and even repair skin damage from sun, poor nutrition and harsh environment. Its nutrients include beta carotene, Vitamins A and E and provitamin A.
This body scrub will nourish deeply your skin, while the sweet orange and citron essential oils make your skin smell divine for hours!
Ingredients:
200g Regular or Brown Sugar
50ml Carrot Oil
Sweet Orange Essential Oil
Citron Essential Oil
2-3 drops of food colouring (optional)
How to Make It?
Put the sugar in a mixing bowl, add the carrot oil and mix well. Add 3-4 drops of sweet orange essential oil and 2-3 drops of citron essential oil. Add food colouring (red and yellow to get orange) and mix well, until the colour is even throughout.

The Best DIY Hair Mask To Grow Your Hair Fast
As hair can be your best accessory, I decided to write about this miracle hair mask that I have been doing for years now. I think that great hair frames your face and shows off your best features. However, healthy, fabulous hair is not easy to maintain, especially in the summer. This mask is ideal if you want to grow healthy hair fast or if you want to maintain your already long hair.
This hair mask is very simple to make, 100% natural and the results are astonishing!
I will divide the instructions in two, depending on the results you want to achieve.
If you have good "hair" genes and your hair is generally healthy, but you need to fortify it or you started loosing hair due to stress or other factors, you will need to apply the mask once per week for 2 months.If you don't have good "hair" genes and your hair is thin, breaks easily and doesn't grow fast, you will need to apply the hair mask 2 to 3 times per week for 4 to 6 months.
As I am the later case, I have done the whole treatment for about 5 months and the results were astonishing. It all started when I noticed that my hair hadn't grown much for around half an year. It grew a bit, but compared to a friend of mine, who happened to have the same length as me 6 months ago, hers was than twice longer. So, I actually realised that my hair is not only thin and weak, but also it had started growing on a very slow pace. So, my mom told me about this mask and I decided to give it a go for couple of months and the results were amazing. Firstly, the most notable difference was the length. It grew around 20cm for 5 months and that was very impressive for me. Secondly, it became much fuller, healthier looking and shiny. And finally, noticabely decreased sebum production of the scalp, so the mask is very good for hair with oily roots.
Ingredients:
3-4 tbsp of Castor Oil (depending on the length of your hair)
2 eggs
How to do it?
Mix the oil with the eggs and apply to dry hair. Cover your hair with a shower cap and then put a towel on top. Leave for 2 hours and wash with warm water and shampoo. The goal of the shower cap is to keep the towel clean, while the towel will keep the hair warm for the 2 hours. That way the hair benefits fully from the warm castor oil, as with most oils it is most nutritive when warm.After you are done with the treatment, your hair will be completely different - healthier, fuller, shinier and longer. You should maintain it with regular visits to the hair stylist and do the mask at least once per month.Do not hesitate to let us know what you think.
