spirulina, turmeric, yogurt etc. |
For my very first post I'm going to share a recent mask I made and LOVED! It left my skin smooth, firm and bright. Here are the ingredients.

Organic Greek yogurt, organic turmeric powder, kefir grains, green tea, borage oil and seaweed wraps. |
I like to apply my masks with foundation brushes that you can find at the dollar store. Using your fingers is so messy and just plain inconvenient!
Yogurt exfoliates the skin, think of it as a mild lactic acid peel. It also works great to bond all the ingredients together. Turmeric is a healer, it's anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-bacterial and will help brighten your complexion (there are many more benefits). Green tea is an anti-oxidant (I save a little from my tea to add to the mask!). Seaweed is packed with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and trace elements that offer moisture to your skin (make sure to eat this stuff too!). Kefir grains help the ph balance in your skin and improves many skin issues such as acne. (I consume kefir water daily, amazing for healthy bacteria in the gut). Borage oil has a high fatty acid profile and helps with dry skin (retains moisture balance), inflammation, increases epidermal renewal and smoothness. (I also consume this on a daily basis combined with fish oil). If you didn't notice, if it's good in your belly, it's probably good on your face too :)
Even I think I look funny in this picture! :) But it wouldn't be fair not to share, right? HAHA
I research endlessly on food, herbs, spices, nutrients etc and their benefits. I have a crazy hunger to learn all I can (no pun intended). And I want to share everything with you! I can't wait to start my next blog.
Other than listing the organic ingredients, I didn't mention that I very much believe we should take careful consideration in what we consume. I recently saw a post that stated, "People should be less concerned with calories and more concerned with chemicals". And I completely agree. But I understand this is an area that can get confusing and over whelming as well. So continue to read my blogs and we'll discuss it all :)
And I actually have a face under all that food!!

Wow great post! Very interesting and an enjoyable read. Is there a way to be notified when you post a new entry? Or will it always be a certain day, etc? Quick question on the green tea. Did you just use a regular tea bag and if yes does it have to be organic or anything else special?
ReplyDeleteThanks again and looking for to the next entry. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!

As for green tea, it's a little more expensive (and perhaps a bit inconvenient) but fresh, loose tea is the best option. The longer it sits on a shelf, the less "green" it has! :)
