Honey Milk Oil Bath Soak

I love a bath and try to have one at least a week  (I shower every day in case you were thinking..eurghh!).  There is just something soothing about laying back in warm water and giving your skin a good soak.   If you find that your week is too busy with the joy that is life, put aside 30 minutes once a week to enjoy a soak in the tube.  Bring along books/magazines if needed too.   I do then shower everything off as the bath is draining and I feel absolutely squeaky clean!  Add a skin scrub to this event and you are clean, warm and shiny!

Honey Milk Bath

I am a huge fan of honey and all its great properties.  Feel like a Queen and have a nice warm honey milk bath.  Emerge a Goddess with silky soft skin! 

Egg White and Lemon Face Mask

Egg whites have been used in natural skin care and this mask will tighten and tone your skin.   Egg whites are rich in protein, vitamins and minerals which nourish your skin.    They are a very effective astringent and will tighten and firm your skin. 

Garlic Spot Removal

Not only for repelling Vampires, garlic can be used to repel spots!   Garlic is the best antiseptic and antimicrobal substance that removes spots quickly. It fits both the oily and the acne skincare.  The applied area will sting or awhile, but after thirty minutes the effect will be shown. The garlic treats the pimples and nourishes the skin with vitamin B group (like B6), vitamin C and potassium.

Lip Balm

This is a natural way to moisten the lips with no chemicals or additives. I recently purchased a large block of beeswax from Amazon for my natural needs, but if anyone knows where I can buy this in Dubai, please let me know!!   This lip balm has the husband seal of approval.  He has dry lips and knows his way around a decent lip balm better than I know my way round a shoe shop!

Grapefruit Sugar Scrub

This is a great refreshing body scrub that will clean and revitalise you.  Gets you ready for a day of number crunching and Excel spreadsheets, oh, that’s just me I guess…

Avocado Carrot Cream Mask

An excellent face mask full of vitamins E, beta caroten, antioxidants, calcuim and protein which help rebuild skin collagen, fade age spots and improve the texture and tone of the skin.  Would probably be tasty on a slice of my savoury wraps….but this recipe is for the outside of the body, not inside.  Another example of how the kitchen stocks great natural beauty products and you do not need to spend a lot of money on synthetic products.  Keep it natural!

3 tbslpn honey

Honey Face Cleanser

A natural and refreshing way to cleanse your face.  Honey makes a great natural exfoliant too.  Castile soap is make from vegetable oils rather than animal fat like other soaps so has a big welcome flag in my house.

Banana and Honey Face Mask

Looks like baby's food...and probably can be used for it too!

Banana’s on your feet, hair and now your face!  This face mask is fabulous for oily skin.   Smells divine too!  It looks like baby’s food and I pondered about slavering it over some yoghurt instead of my face!  

Lemon Body Scrub

This is an invigorating body scrub with just two simple ingredients..sugar and lemon.
