honey

I love at home beauty treatments and so I thought I’d do a post about some at home regiments that are easy & affordable. And of course, they’ll make you ‘glisten & glow’! 😉

FUN FACTS ABOUT AVOCADOS: Avocado is rich in fatty acids, which can be used to moisturize the skin. Avocado contains humectants, which are chemicals that attract and hold water. Treatment of avocado on your skin will attract and add moisture to your skin and the avocado oil will form a barrier to help seal in moisture and protect your skin from the elements.
HOW TO: Rub the inside of an avocado peel on your skin, leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse off with water. (I love this one because you use all of the avocado! So no waste!)

FUN FACTS ABOUT HONEY: Honey, like the avocado, also attracts moisture. Because of its natural antimicrobial properties, honey can also protect against infection and promote the healing of a wound!
HOW TO: Go to your local supermarket, get some organic raw honey (if you are on a budget, regular honey works fine too) and wear it as a mask as many times as you want! Rinse off and moisturize. I actually do a honey mask every night before bed for about 15-30 minutes while I journal or read and then moisturize with coconut oil! All natural & I’ve definitely noticed my skin has an extra glow lately.

FUN FACTS ABOUT LEMON: I freaking love lemons. They are rockstar fruits. Lemon is the single largest and best source of Vitamin C. It has been found that a single lemon contains as much as 40 mg of Vitamin C, which, incidentally is the recommended intake of Vitamin C for one full day. Not only that but over time lemon oil or lemon juice can help to decrease dark spots from acne scars, act.
HOW TO: There are so many ways to use lemon. First thing in the morning drink a big glass of water with lemon juice in it. You can also warm up some water, add some lemon juice, and some honey before bed. I have lemon oil and every once in a while I’ll rub some on an acne scar if I have one!
