Do you have sensitive skin? Then you have to read this!

Unfortunately, sensitive skin is the most unmanageable skin condition. It is more prone to breakouts, irritation, itching and most importantly allergy. If you do have sensitive skin, then you are more likely to get skin reactions when using conventional cosmetic products. Those reactions occur simply because of the presence of different chemicals, that is why it is highly recommended the use of organic cosmetics that are hypoallergenic and don't clog the pores. However, if you do have the time, you should definitely include those natural products in your beauty regime.

Anti-Ageing Face Cream

Since our policy is to stick to natural products as much as possible, I decided to share with you this homemade recipe for a natural Anti-Ageing Face Cream. I made it for the first time about two months ago and I really love the texture and nutrition it gives to my skin. It is perfect for dry skin and fpr the summer in general when your skin needs good nutrition all day.

What you need:

- 15ml Soy Oil

- 15ml Avocado Oil

- 1 coffee spoon of Beeswax

- 1 coffee spoon of Cacao Butter

- 3 drops of Geranium Essential Oil

How to make it:

Put together a double boiler on the stove and turn it on medium heat. Put in the larger pot 400ml of water. In the smaller pot (that should be inside) put all the ingredients, except for the Geranium Essential Oil. Stir slowly, while the temperature of the water increases and the ingredients melt completely. Add 3 drops of Geranium Essential oil and pour the cream in an appropriate sterilised container to cool down.

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.

Nutritive Banana Face Mask

In the world of beauty the banana is considered as “natural botox”. The banana as a lot of nutritions that provide great benefit to the skin. Banana contains Potassium and Vitamin A, B and E. Potassium hydrates and moistures the skin, while the Vitamins do all kind of miracles form fading dark sports to protect from free radical damage and reduces appearance of wrinkles.

Meanwhile, milk is very rich in B-vitamins, Calcium and Vitamin D. Vitamin D boosts the natural collagen production that is essential for reducing the visible process of ageing. Calcium itself promotes collagen production and boosts skin elasticity.

That is why this Nutritive Banana Face Mask is a must do for any woman that wants to keep her skin smooth and glowing, and most importantly healthy.

What You Need?

1/2 Banana

3 tbls of Cow’s Milk 

How to do it?

Mix everything in a bowl until you obtain an even mixture. Apply directly to skin and rinse with water after 20 minutes.

Nutritive Pear Mask For Dry Skin

Once called the “gift of the gods” by Homer, pears are high in vitamins and water-soluble fiber, that play a major role to protect our cells from free radicals. During the summer it is of high importance to nutrition your skin and keep it well hydrated.

Pears have high levels of vitamin C and K, which act as powerful antioxidants. The yogurt provides calcium, B-vitamins and zinc that are responsible for rejuvenating and promoting healthy skin. Finally, cornstarch has anti-inflammatory effect, calms itchy skin, rashes, and burns. This mask is very nutritive and is ideal for dry and sensible skin.

What do you need?

1/4 pear

2 tbls Natural Yogurt

1 tsp Cornstarch

How to make it?

Wash and peal the pear. Remove the hard part in the middle and cut into small cubes. In a mixing bowl put the pear, natural yogurt and cornstarch and mix with a mixer. 

Apply the mask all over the face and neck and wait for 20min and rinse with water.

Natural Mint Lotion

An astringent breaks through the skin pores to constrict them, removes easily grease and oil pockets, it counterbalances surplus oil and tightens the skin. In general it has revitalising effect, gives a health glow to the skin and minimises pimples and blemishes. It a must have product for skin problematic skin and skin prone to acne. 

Apple cider vinegar is very effective for treating pimples, acne and other skin problems. Mint contains vitamin A that strengthens skin tissue and helps reduce oily skin.

What do you need?

3 tsp of fresh mint

2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

250ml Distilled Water

How to make it?

 Put in a sterile container (with a cap) the mint and the vinegar, close well and wait for at least one week. After one week, filter the solution and add 250ml of distilled water. Apply with a cotton pad to clean well the face.

Natural Clay Mask

Clay Masks have many benefits to the skin, especially skin that is prone to breakouts. A clay mask tightens sagging skin, stimulates the blood circulation and softens lines and wrinkles. Additionally, it absorbs excess dirt and oil and has a drying effect on oily skin, that is why is appropriate for normal and oily skin types. I find this mask very nourishing, as the egg provides a lot of protein, while the honey is a very effective moisturiser for the skin. The yogurt provides calcium, B-vitamins and zinc that are responsible for rejuvenating and promoting healthy skin. Finally the banana provides plenty of vitamin A, E and B for protection and bolsters the skin’s UV resistance.

What you need?

2 tbls Green Clay 

1 tbls Yogurt

1 egg

1 tbls Honey

1/2 Banana

Mix the green clay with all other ingredients until you obtain. Apply on the face and neck and try to relax your muscles. Rinse after 20 minutes with water.
