I first found the original recipe for this scrub on Pinterest years ago. It was too abrasive so over the years I revised it. My main goal was too make sure I was not only scrubbing away dead skin but at the same time moisturizing deeply and using ingredients to help lock in that moisture. This is by far my most messy beauty recipe but it’s also my favorite. I have been using this for years and I have to give it some credit for keeping my skin healthy in the winter months. Skip the spa and pamper yourself right at home with this one! You’ll be glad you did 😉
1 Medium Avocado
1 TBSP of Olive Oil
1 TBSP of Epsom Salt
1 Cup of left over used coffee grounds
1 TBSP of Almond Oil
Smash Avocado into all ingredients with a fork and stir. Make sure you use this right away! Scrub in circular motions starting from your face then down your neck and shoulders. Continue on with the rest of your body. Rinse well. To protect your drains put a hair catcher over the drain and it will catch any chunks. Enjoy your soft fresh skin!
I will be doing a series of beauty post that can help you Prepare Prevent and Protect your skin and hair during the changing of the Seasons from Summer to Fall.
The last two Fall seasons, my hair and skin have a little hard time adjusting. At first i tried to ignore it, focus on keeping my face clean and moisturized and… stay in the house as much as possible! The more I was exposed to the outside world the more I suffered from it. It makes me uncomfortable when my skin and hair feels disruption and is unrested. But this year I decided to try to a different approach.
Being a women with love for natural beauty and natural beauty products, sometimes I have the tendency to rebuke any product that’s not natural. But this natural movement is so new so most of the products out there can’t deliver all that my skin needs. Most of the time they only deal with just one of my problems. I decided to find a few non natural products that I could use to help me keep the balance in my skin, no matter what the fall season will throw at me.
Keeping it Real with you guys. This post is about how these products are helpful and refreshing to my skin but forreal my skin in these pictures are AWFUL! I was in a hurry and just came out from working in the yard. I totally forgot to wash my face up. But I loved the pictures so I kept them 🙂 .
A Beautiful Healthy Face
Raw Unfiltered Honey will always be my main choice for washing my face. I use it daily morning and night. Honey does all these wonderful things:
Hydrates skin for better complexion
Evens Skin Tone
Eliminates dark spots and helps prevent them
Naturally antibacterial- Prevents and treats acne
Full of antioxidants to help minimize wrinkles and fine lines
I found the Simple Line over 4 years ago when there was just the face wash and the moisturizer. I was a bit skeptical at first since I was new to the natural beauty movement. I was not sure if something so natural and simple could actually help. They have changed their formula since then and I was not too happy about that at first. I loved the old formula. But I am not the only one buying their products. I could see how the old formula could be very drying. Their new formula is more moisturizing than the last and it still produces these great results for me. When my skin is randomly oily and the honey is making it worse, Simple does these things for me:
Cleanses my skin well without irritation or drying
Peace of mind about what my pores are absorbing. No dyes No fragrances!
Thanks to the added B5 Vitamin, it immediately refreshes and calms my skin down whenever I experience heat and break outs.
Biore was my missing link in battling the ups and downs of Fall weather. While both Simple and the Raw Unfiltered Honey have healing and restoring powers they did not keep me from developing my face’s sworn enemy. Black heads. Here’s what I love about Biore’s unclogging scrub.
Prevents and treats blackheads
Gently exfoliates skin
Releases a fresh cooling feel
Leaves my skin able to breathe for added healing
I normally rotate using these products throughout the week. But I also watch my skin to see which product it needs most that day.
For example : My skin right now is very oily as I write. So I will use the Simple Refreshing Face wash Gel to get that oil under control. I use the honey when my face feels very dry. And every Friday I use the Biore unclogging scrub to prevent any black heads and to have a gentle exfoliator after a long week.
Tune in one the next Beauty Post, I will talking about hair! Hope you were blessed and I hope these could be your answer to the struggle.. girl to girl.
