Skin Secrets...

1) Avocado Face Mask

We all know that a good fa1ce mask will help firm and tone your skin. A good face mask will also minimize the appearance of pores, and ex foliate off dead skin so that new and fresh skin will be revealed underneath. Here is a natural recipe that I have been using for quite some time now.

What you will need:

• 1 mashed avocado
• 1 cooked and mashed carrot
• 1/2 cup cream
• 1 beaten egg
• 3 tablespoons of honey                          

2)Get Rid of Dark Circles and Puffy Eyes

Dark circles and puffy eyes are the first give away of age and sleep deprivation. Unfortunately dark circles and puffy eyes can be caused by lack of sleep, stress, poor diet, and genetics. Some quick tips to help eases the appearance of dark circles and puffy eyes are: stay hydrated, ease your stress level, watch your diet, get plenty of sleep, use concealer, and try cool compresses.
Some at home cool compresses include:

• Tea Bags- place tea bags in your freezer and before bed place over your eyes for 10-15 minutes
• Potato Slices and Cucumber Slices

Hair Secrets...

1)Dry Hair

This may sound a bit gross but it works! Try massaging your hair with mayonnaise or olive oil to help bring moisture back into your hair. Leave in the product for a minimum of 10 minutes and then wash it out. Wait and see dry hair turn into rich moisturized hair instantly.
