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.

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.
