Homemade Beauty... Natural Toners

Sliced strawberries, grapes, cucumbers, lemons, and tomatoes work wonderfully as natural toners to tighten skin and shrink pores. 

  •  Strawberries make an excellent cleanser, moisturizer, and skin-softener. They are rich in healthy-skin vitamins A & C and have a neutral PH so they are mild.
  • Grapes can reduce wrinkles, even skin tone, moisturize, and reduce the appearance of scars.
  • The high water content in cucumbers hydrates and cools your skin, and the natural oils in help soften your skin.
  • Lemon juice and water can be used to lighten dark spots on your skin, and reduce shine caused by oil on your face.
  • Tomatoes contain gentle acids which will help to cleanse your skin while removing dead skin cells and clearing black heads.
Pick the one you think wold work best for you, slice, and apply directly to your face.

Ipsy: June

This is the City Color Shimmer Shadow in the color Cheers to Life.  It is a pretty basic sandy brown with a ton of shimmer, obviously!  City Color isn't my favorite brand to get because it is fairly cheap and the products are ki...

Homemade Beauty: Ice Facial

It may not sound very pleasant, but running an ice cube over your face has a ton of benefits for your skin! They will help to smooth your complexion by combating fat cells, easing wrinkles, fighting acne, and promoting blood circulation that will help heal past blemishes!  Be sure to  wrap the cubes  in a paper towel, or a baggie  because applying them directly to your skin can cause delicate blood vessels to break For an added  benefits to this  treatment, try freezing your cubes with watermelon, lemon, or rose!
