Going natural is precisely what my instincts have always told me was perfect. It just does not make sense to attempt and find beauty hidden in chemicals, toxins, and byproducts of people and animals. Rediscovering true beauty is as straightforward as getting back to nature, using ingredients that are as amazing as they succeed.
Deep-Cleansing Mint and Cucumber Mask
- 1/2 medium cucumber, sliced
- 1 tsp fresh mint leaves
- 11/2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons whipping cream
- 2 tbsp buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon what bran
- 1 cup oats
Grind oats and wheat bran in a blender to make a fine powder. Place the remaining ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth. Apply mixture onto face. Leave mask on for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
Calendula Cleanser for the Dry Skin
- 6 ounces olive oil
- 3 tbsp cocoa butter
- 5 to 6 new calendula heads
In a saucepan, combine all ingredients. Heat over low heat until the cocoa butter starts to melt into the olive oil (about 5 minutes). Remove mixture from heat and strain into a clean bowl. Beat mixture until it’s cooled and then pour into a clean container with lid. The cleaner can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. Apply cleanser to your face every morning, massaging into skin using a circular movement. Wipe cleaner off with a moist cotton ball.
Soothing Apple Toner
- 1/4 cup witch hazel
- 1/2 cup water
