The Top 5 DIY Beauty Treatments

Some of my top DIY treatments that anyone could try at home, Here are 5 seriously simple at home DIY Beauty Treatments that anyone can do 🙂

Need a relaxing bath , then mix 1/4 of a cup of Rosewater, 1/4 of a cup of Coconut milk, pour into your warm bath, swirl and lay into it and relax, it a such a treat for the skin and is incredible relaxing and smells pretty dam good to boot!! Try it!!!

Legend has it that the beautiful Egyptian queen Cleopatra who loved to emerge herself in milk and rose petal baths and insisted to have her bed covered with fresh roses every day, had carpeted her boudoir with petals of these flowers (to which she attributed aphrodisiac powers) when she first greeted and seduced Marc Antony.

Well known for its antiseptic and antibacterial properties, rose water is excellent for cleansing, purifying, softening and toning the skin. Its pleasant fragrance makes it a nice, light and fresh cologne to wear especially in the summertime.

2/ Need a great, yet very affordable Skin Moisturiser, then you need to mix 2 teaspoons of Honey with 2 teaspoons of Almond Oil. Apply , to make this a moisture packed mask then add . mashed up half an  avocado and mix in all the ingredients to form a pure, Apply to face, Leave on for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with warm water and pat dry. This will improve skin complexion, retain glow, moisturize better and deeper, soothe skin irritation, nourish your skin while making it softer and smoother.Almond oil is rich in vitamin A, B and E, which are great for skin health. In fact, most skin care products have these vitamins loaded in them. The oil helps maintaining moisture levels of the skin and gets absorbed in a jiffy without blocking the pores. Mash the avocado and mix in all the ingredients to form a puree.

3/ Important day? date? interview? or any other big day!! and skin is looking a little rough? then you need a quick, easy, DIY Facial Scrub!! Mix 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil with 1 tablespoon of Raw Sugar, mix to a rough paste , apply to clean skin using your finger tips, be gentle, this is more about quality of ingredients on your skin and technique, not brute force 🙂 apply with tips of your fingers in a light circular motion, do this for 2-3 minutes and rinse with warm water and pat dry.Your face will look bright, clean, and be glowing.

Get your skin in tip top shape in time for Summer 2015

This is my very 1st Beauty piece with Inspire Limerick so I though lets start at the start, when it comes to beauty, it is all about getting the foundation (your skin) right first, so today I bring you my top tips (only four) to have your skin feeling and looking incredible and the best part of all is that you will see real differences from week one but if you keep going for 6-8 weeks you will reveal a more glowing, softer and silky skin.

#1 / Drink Water , drink water every day, 6-8 glasses at the least, water is not just super to hydrate your skin but it is super for you, Water flushes out toxins from the body, it aids digestion, promotes weight loss and is can even cur a headache (next time the heads pounding re hydrate with a few glasses of water before reaching for the pain killers).

#2/ Dry Body Brush, Do this daily, is should take you no more than 3-4 minutes but will see fantastic results in how you skin looks and feels. Work in gentle circular, upward motions, then longer, smoother strokes. Always begin at the ankles in upwards movements towards the heart,  Increasing the circulation to the skin can  reduce the appearance of cellulite, body brushing helps shed dead skin cells (and encourages new cell renewal) and is great to stop ingowing hairs. Buy a natural bristle long handles brush and this will last you 12+ months, wash after each use.

#3/ Shower / Bath , Most of us shower or bath in water that is a little warmer than we should, try  alternating the temperature in the shower from hot to cold as this will further invigorate the skin and stimulate blood circulation, bring more blood to the outer layers of the skin.

#4/ Moisturise , It is a step I know a lot skip due to time being an issue or not seeing it as a step needed but if you want exceptionally soft, glowing skin this summer, then do not skip this step, I apply body lotion or a body oil daily after my shower, I apply before I dry off because once dry, I find I use too much and this takes time to sink in, time I do not have early in the morning.

New Review : SeeSee Mineral Facial Pure Mud Mask

So I tested this Mineral Mud Facial Mask a few months ago for TV’3 Xpose show and this was screened on Wednesday evening’s show so now I can share my thought and findings on this product. Here is a clip from the show http://www.tv3.ie/entertainment_video.php?locID=1.803.824&video=84304

I have a combination skin type and suffer from the very occasional break out on my Tzone, but over all I have the skin under control. I found this work very well for my skin type.

From a price point of view this is very keenly priced at just €10.99 with other items in the rage as low as €4.49, SeeSee is available in pharmacy’s nationwide.

The Dead Sea high quality dark Mud Mask is enriched with minerals for deep facial cleansing. This Dead Sea Mud is rich in minerals and highly purifying. It removes dirt, excess oil and any traces of impurities, while gently exfoliating dead skin cells, revealing fresh new skin. I found the first few times I used this that I did get a bit of a break out but once we got beyond this point I found my skin just glowing.The mask will leave your skin smooth, silky looking, healthy and radiant. The Mud Mask softens the skin and contains mud minerals including sodium, potassium, magnesium chlorides, bromides and sulphates, together with plant extracts including Jojoba oil, Mentha oil, vitamin E, sweet almond oil and olive oil. The skin is smoother, fresher, brighter and more defined.
