Kitchen Beautician: Moisturized Skin

 

Do you have dry skin? Well, I have a homemade face mask that will help you. It’s spring time with summer soon approaching (FINALLY!) and you want your skin to be glowy and smooth…not dry. So with just a few ingredients that you have at home we can fix this problem and get the gorgeous skin right in time. The only downside to this facemask is that it may be somewhat time consuming, but it is definitely worth a try. And who doesn’t love pampering themselves. 

 

You will need:

1 tsp. honey

One egg yolk

1 tsp. olive oil

1 tsp. lemon juice 

 

Instructions:

 

In a bowl combine the honey, egg yolk, olive oil, and lemon juice. Thoroughly mix together all of the ingredients. You are going to apply this mask in three steps, so do not apply the entire mask at once. First, apply the mask (you can use your fingers or a cotton ball) onto your face and let it dry. Do NOT wash the mask off! Then, apply the mask on a second time over what you already have on your face. Let it dry. When it is dry (once again do NOT wash it off), finally apply the mask on for a third time and wait with it on for about 20-25 minutes. Give yourself an at home manicure or read a magazine. After the time is up, rinse the mask off with warm water. Do this mask once a week for best results.

 

NOTE: this mask is suitable for dry and combination skin.

Kitchen Beautician: Hair Strengthener

It’s the weekend and once again it is time to pamper yourself! When you brush your hair, do you seem to lose a lot of hair? Well if you do, I have the perfect hair strengthening mask for you. My grandmother has tried this treatment and loves it. She has been a hair stylist for over 40 years, so when it comes to homemade hair treatments, I trust her opinion. Now let’s strengthen that beautiful hair so none of it falls out.

 

You will need:

2 tbsp. dry mustard

2 tbsp. sugar

One egg yolk

2 tbsp. olive oil

2 tbsp. warm water

 

Instructions:

 

In a bowl combine the mustard, sugar, egg yolk, olive oil, and warm water. Thoroughly mix together all of the ingredients. Then, apply the mixture to the roots of your hair. Put on a shower cap and wrap in a towel. Leave the hair mask on for about 30 minutes. After the time is up, shampoo and condition. Do this hair mask every two weeks or so to get the best results.

 

NOTE: If you feel a bit of a burning sensation the first time you try this hair strengthening mask, reduce the amount of sugar you use the next time you do it.
