Sunday Mask: DIY Strawberry, Honey Mask

Hello Sunday everyone! Welcome back again for another DIY mask recipe. This week, our main ingredient are strawberries. Mmhmm, yummy. My Mom went to Sprouts Farmers' Market and bought some fresh, juicy, ripe strawberries. I was snacking on this all weekend but there are still some left so I decided to make a mask out of it.

Strawberries are currently in season so this is definitely the best time to do masks as such  because you're totally ensured that you'll get 100% out of the fruit. Strawberries are packed with Vitamin C, salicylic acid, antioxidants, alpha hydroxy acids and ellagic acids. Such properties helps with the immune system if orally ingested and the skin if applied, either with the juice or the whole fruit. Strawberries may help with slight hyper pigmentation, acne, puffiness under the eyes and an overall excellent exfoliant among others.

DIY STRAWBERRY MASK

What you'll need:
- 8 - 9 fresh, ripe Strawberries
- 3 tablespoons of Honey
- 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (optional)
- 1/2 - 1 tablespoon of Lemon Juice (optional)

Sunday Mask: DIY Banana Mask

Hello Sunday all! Is it just me or did the weekend just kinda sprinted through without us even realizing it? Anyone else or just me? Like seriously, I woke up today and was genuinely surprised because it is Sunday. Where on Earth did my Saturday go?? No used in fretting about it... We shall meet again soon my dear Saturday. We shall...

Well it IS Sunday, so y'all already know what that means! Another fun, Sunday mask recipe. :D So tell me, how many of you just happens to have a banana laying around in the kitchen? Well, that is the first ingredient in today's recipe.

The vitamins in bananas are known to improve complexion and even smooth wrinkles when applied directly to the skin. Eating bananas is also a great way to beautify as the vitamins C and B6, manganese and water improve your complexion from the inside out.

While the banana helps nourish the skin, the honey absorbs and retains moisture, hydrating the skin and enhancing your natural glow. Lastly, a touch of lemon juice exfoliates the skin, reducing the appearance of scars and acne, something I am in desperate need of!

BANANA, HONEY MASK

What You'll Need:
- 1 ripe, medium-sized banana
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Sunday Mask: DIY Avocado, Honey Mask

Hello all! Another Sunday has come upon us... Yay?? Haha. :P No, really though, who is ready for the upcoming week? Last week of February, today next week will be March 1st. Man...

Anyways, here is another mask recipe to pamper the face. The lack of sleep, the stress, the busy schedule all last week has not been kind to my skin. I can tell my skin is angry with me. I have never seen this many pimples appear on my face at once. Need to apologize, must apologize.

Remember that we had only used half of the avocado yesterday for the hair mask? Well pull that avocado out, or cut up another half and let's get our mask on! :D

AVOCADO, HONEY MASK

What You'll Need:
- 1/2 Ripe Avocado
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 1 Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar

Saturday Hair Care: Avocado Hair Mask

Hello Saturday all! :) We are now on day 3 of the Lunar New Year, technically the last also, even though the "new year" goes on for another 7 days. It has been one heck of a busy three days, but finally today, I can let out a sigh of relief. A whole 'nother year until all these crazies will happen again.

I have some time on my hand earlier before I had to get ready for the fam gathering tonight. I have been neglecting everything about me, from my hair to my skin. Neither of which are happy with me might I add. I'll worry about my face tomorrow when I have more time, but for today, let's focus on the hair.

My hair is as natural as it gets, virgin hair as some hair enthusiast might call it. I haven an abundant head of healthy, thick, course hair. I usually don't do much to keep them shiny and healthy but not all things stay that way. I shouldn't really complain because it really isn't that bad but since it is the new years, I am supposed to wash my hair everyday for the last three days. I normally wash it every other day or every two days in the dead Winter months. With all the excessive washing, my hair has become very dry and any ounce of hydration is stripped from my hair.

Cue the DIY recipe for a hydrating hair mask made from avocado and banana, rinsed in apple cider vinegar. While the mask already will give you all the hydration needed, the apple cider vinegar will just be an extra boost.

AVOCADO HAIR MASK

What You'll Need:
- 1/2 Banana
- 1/2 Ripe Avocado
- 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
- Apple Cider Vinegar

Facial Friday: DIY Coffee, Cocoa Mask

 

Happy weekend all! The weekend is here and I still feel like crap... What fun! I initially had plans for today but my little butt here is still feeling ever under the weather. Oh wells, staying in is always nice too.

Being sick for the last couple of days has really made my face swell up. And guuurl, my face is already round as is, a swollen, round face is a big no, no. Since I was lazing around all day anyways, I decided to slather my face in a mask to help with the puffiness.

Today's mask recipe is not only delicious but it only requires a few staple ingredients that all of us should have in our kitchen.

Coffee is an amazing ingredient to help take down puffiness and swelling, it will also tighten your pores.

So let's get our mask on!

DIY Coffee, Cocoa Mask

What You'll Need:
- 2 Tablespoon Ground Coffee
- 2 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder
- 3 Tablespoon Milk OR Yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon Honey

Saturday Steam Facial

Happy Saturday all! Hope you all had a great break. Please enjoy this Saturday to its fullest extent because we are back to the normal two days weekend now. :)

The last couple of weeks have been very stressful so it's not hard to see why I've neglected my skincare routine since. I haven't been diligently doing scrubs and mask and facials. I mean I have, but not as much as I'd like. Thank goodness there's not much problem that needs handling. But the oil though...

It's okay, it's been a good while since I've given my face a nice steam facial.What better day to do it then on a chilly day like today? Now, let's go cleanse those impurities from the pores!

DIY STEAM FACIAL – ASIAN STYLE (Family Recipe)

What You’ll Need:
– 20 to 30 leaves of lemongrass (tied up into a knot)
– 10 leaves from a grapefruit tree
– 10 leaves from a lemon tree
– 1/2 ginger (smashed)
– water

Sunday Mask: DIY Tomato Mask

Hi guys! Welcome back to another Sunday Mask recipe! But first, who is ready for the Superbowl?! Superbowl is happening in the AZ today, so welcome, welcome. :) Just our luck that there is a thick layer of fog just hanging around our city today, which NEVER happens. This seriously NEVER happens here, maybe once every ten or so years? LOL. Those tourists are probably thinking "WTF? This is Arizona?" Haha, sorry guys, y'all came on the wrong week.

Back on point, wearing and applying make up is one of my favorite things to do. I can express myself through make up and it's actually very therapeutic for me. I love that half hour/hour I have every morning to get ready. However, I use make up to enhance beauty, not to conceal or believe that only women who wear make up is beautiful. I think everyone is beautiful in their own way, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. You might be Aphrodite to one person and another might see you as Medusa; you cannot please everyone. As long as you, yourself is happy with yourself, that's all that matters.

With that said, whenever I have an acne explosion due to poor diet, stress, you know, all of that. I don't quickly go paint my face in heavy, heavy make up to conceal. In contrary, during times like that, I wear very light face make up if any. Instead, I reflect on what I am doing wrong, about what I'm ingesting, why I'm stressing and I go on from there. If I'm stress, I do something to relieve stress, or if it was bad foods I've been putting into my body, I will be more conscious with my diet and be sure to exercise regularly.

That brings me back to masks and facials. I take time, several times a week, 15 minutes to half an hour, to pamper myself. I'll just put on a good soothing mask, lay down, turn on music and open up a good book. I try to stay away from electronics because I also want to rest my eyes for a bit. We live in the 21st century, we probably stare into electronics screens more than we see people, t.v. to the computer onto the iPad, hop onto the laptop, going to bed with phone in hand. I know I'm guilty of that...so I try to stay away from them whenever I can.

Today's main recipe, tomato.

Yep, plain and simple, just a tomato. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C (double the regular amount), vitamin A and antioxidant. Tomatoes have natural oil-absorbing acids in them, that's how applying it to my face helps take out excess oil. It also has astringent properties, which means that it is able to minimize pores/shrink large pores. 

What you'll need:
- One medium size ripe tomato

What to do:
- Wash thoroughly
- Cut into halves or chunks
- Use spoon or hands to mash

How to use it:
- Apply mash pulp directly to the face
- Allow the tomato to soak for at least 15 minutes
- Rinse off with cool water
- Pat to dry

There's also a mask recipe too, three tablespoons of tomato juice and one tablespoon of honey. Mix well and apply, let set for at least 15 minutes. It is also quite easy.

And there ya go. A quick and extremely easy mask "recipe" today. :P Take a little time to pamper yourself today, another week needs to be conquered tomorrow.

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading all. Come back tomorrow for another Manicure Monday! Y'all enjoy the rest of your Sunday now. Byeeee. :)

Skincare Saturday: DIY Cucumber & Aloe Vera Mask

Hello Saturday everyone! I hope you're enjoying your weekend. :)

Who else is having skin problems during these devastating Winter months? By problems, I am referring to dry, itchy skin, maybe from the stripping of moisture from the weather or from showering or bathing in warm, hot water. Whatever the case may be, my skin needs to be tended to, like pronto!

Today's recipe is composed of two ingredients and two ingredients only. Not only are cucumbers flushes out toxins and keeps is hydrated, it is also packed with skin friendly minerals. Aloe vera are usually used to alleviate sunburns or burns for that matter, it rejuvenates the skin to be good as new. Haha.

With that said, let's just get our mask on!

CUCUMBER & ALOE VERA MASK

What you’ll need:
-1/2 a Cucumber
-a medium leaf of Aloe Vera
*This recipe yields one mask; if you want to use an entire cucumber, add another leaf of Aloe Vera. Place the unused mask in a container with a lid and store in the fridge for no more than two days.

**For today, I will double the recipe so I can use it on my legs and arms.

Sunday Mask: DIY Pumpkin Mask 2

Welcome back to another Sunday Mask recipe! Hope you’re all enjoying your weekend well. Last day of the weekend to get our pamper on! :P

Pumpkins are not only delicious to eat, they are also very helpful when it comes to beauty. Pumpkins are packed with certain enzymes that will brighten our skin, whether from dullness or pigmented. Furthermore, it is also packed with Vitamin A and C which will soothe and soften the skin, boost collagen level to prevent premature aging. Ya know, to give your skin that firm, bounciness.

So let’s get our mask on!

Sunday Mask: Lavender Mask

Hi all! Hope your Sunday is going well. :) Yet another start of the week, oh where oh where has the time gone to.

Here is another quick and easy recipe for a mask that will surely give you a quick picker-upper. Let's get our mask on!

LAVENDER MASK

What you'll need:
-2 Tablespoon Plain Yogurt
-1 Tablespoon Honey
-3 drops of Lavender Oil

Sunday Mask: DIY Peel Off Mask

Happy Sunday all! Hope you all had a great weekend. Who's ready for Monday?? :/ Neither am I. Haha.

Another mask recipe today, slightly different, but still very au naturel and DIY. If you haven't noticed, most if not all of my skincare posts are DIYs.

Usually, my recipes are for masks, a few scrubs but today, the first ever recipe on a peel off mask. Blackheads are a serious problem for me, especially on and around my nose and the area around my brows. For quick treatment, I usually use the Biore strips and from time to time, I'd use the Freeman Peel Off Mask. Hardly will I ever make my own peel off mask because in all honesty, they are just so time consuming and messy.

I came across this recipe about a few weeks ago and I have used this recipe every week since. I have seen results so that is why I am sharing it with y'all today.

Egg whites are packed with proteins and nourishment great for the body and for the skin. The egg white will lift and firms the skin, smooths out fine lines and wrinkles. If you ever applied just egg white onto your skin, you'd completely understand what I am talking about. The skin is firm yet soft and baby's bottom soft.

Alrighty, let's get our mask on!

DIY PEEL OFF MASK

What You'll Need:
- 1 Egg White
- 1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
- Tissue Paper(s)
- Brush (Optional)

Skincare Saturday: Brown Sugar

Hi all! Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!! :)

Alrighty, getting to the point, another Saturday at home means another Skincare Saturday it is. Not really a mask today but more of a scrub. Only three ingredients needed, very basic, very simple.

With it being Winter, I know I moisturize religiously. With all the moisturizing, I can't help but realize how much unnecessary buildup there are. This is why I like to exfoliate my skin every now an then. Don't do it too often because that will just strip your skin and instead of benefiting, you'll be doing the opposite. Do it just the right amount and exfoliation will remove dead skin cells for a healthier glow.

Let's get our scrub on!

BROWN SUGAR

What You'll Need:
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Nutmeg

Saturday Steam Facial

Happy Saturday all! Hope you all had a great break. Please enjoy this Saturday to its fullest extent because we are back to the normal two days weekend now. :)

The last couple of weeks have been very stressful so it's not hard to see why I've neglected my skincare routine since. I haven't been diligently doing scrubs and mask and facials. I mean I have, but not as much as I'd like. Thank goodness there's not much problem that needs handling. But the oil though...

It's okay, it's been a good while since I've given my face a nice steam facial.What better day to do it then on a chilly day like today? Now, let's go cleanse those impurities from the pores!

DIY STEAM FACIAL – ASIAN STYLE (Family Recipe)

What You’ll Need:
– 20 to 30 leaves of lemongrass (tied up into a knot)
– 10 leaves from a grapefruit tree
– 10 leaves from a lemon tree
– 1/2 ginger (smashed)
– water

What To Do:
– In a pot, throw in all of the ingredients at once.
– Fill the pot with water so that all of the ingredients are covered
– Place the lid on and bring to a boil on high
– Do check up on it every now and then because it might cause an overflow if it continues to boil

How To Use It:
Option 1 – Take the pot off of the stove, lid on and set aside. Hunch yourself over the pot, face directly over the pot and drape a large towel over your head to completely cover the pot. Slowly open the lid bit by bit to let the steam out. Be careful to not open the lid too much at a time or you might risk burning yourself. Continue until there are no longer no more steam OR until you feel like you’ve had enough. Pat to dry.
**Please, please, pleeeeease be extremely cautious because this is boiling water and hot steam we’re dealing with. This could cause burns and/or injuries. I do not recommend this option for beginners or people with sensitive skin. I myself use this option because I have been doing this for years so I know the timing and limits.

Option 2 – Do not take the pot off of the stove but instead turn it to medium-low heat. Set it so that the water is continuously heated so there will be steam but not to the point of boiling. Completely remove the lid. Put your face directly over the pot and let the steam work its magic. Do this for 10-15 minutes OR until you feel like you’ve had enough. Pat to dry.
**I do recommend this for beginners but still, please be very careful!

Option 3 – If you’re still uncomfortable with the idea of hunching over the stove, just pick the pot off the stove, take the lid off and put your face over it (without the towel) until there is no longer steam. Pat to dry.

This can actually be used for a few more times, three at least. Just leave it out on the counterand reheat it when you want to use it again. Don’t worry about it going bad, I’ve done it before, maybe five days or so and it did not spoil.

Give this steam facial a try you guys. Your skin will thank you in the long run. My skin has been thanking me by being clear and acne free; it also controls somewhat of the oil excretions too.

Thank you so much for visits and thank you for reading. Please come back soon! :)

Hello, hello Saturday my pretty snowflakes. :) How are y'all doing on this very chilly day? Staying toasty I hope. I'm serious, it is a "toasty" 3o-ish degree today in the AZ. I would not have gotten out of bed if it wasn't necessary but I had too. Uncle and aunt went to Cali until Sunday so the bro and I babysitting the "kids" and house sitting.

Almost 2 whole days with these (not so) little kiddos, which are 15, 11 and 9 by the way, so not kids at all but they'll always be kids in my eyes. We have enough board games that will last us for 2 weeks. Haha. But kids do get bored quick so we gotta be prepared. They're actually pestering me to hurry up and blog so we can start. Ooooooppps. :roll:

I am all bundled, mug of hot cocoa in hand. All I am missing is a warm mask on my face. I crave for warmth!! Very easy mask recipe today, only 3 ingredients. So what are we waiting for, let's get our mask on!

Sunday Mask: Brightening Enzyme Masque

 

Hello Christmas Eve my lovely readers. I truly wish that all is having a joyous day because we are down to day one. :P

I spent all day in doors today, finishing up the wrappings and helping mom with food preparations for tomorrow's dinner. And you know me when it comes to DIY masks when I'm at home chilling. I like to pamper my skin while I am busily working away. I have been up late the last couple of nights and lack major sleep also. That, plus the Winter chill is taking a major toll on my skin. I diligently apply moisturizers, sheet masks and whip up DIY masks as often as I can to retain the moisture in my skin.

Today's mask is rather special. LOL. When I saw the ingredients, it just reminds me of salsa recipe instead of a face mask recipe. But hey, whatever is good for the skin, I'm up for it. This mask specifically is called a brightening enzyme mask. If the name isn't already self explanatory, this mask's ingredients have components that is able to brighten the skin and even out uneven skin tones.

So let's get our mask on!! :D

Brightening Enzyme Mask

What you'll need:
-7 Blueberries
-3 Cherry Tomato
-1 Sprig of Parsley
-1 Tablespoon of Honey
-2 Drops of Lemon Essential Oil OR 1/8 Teaspoon of Lemon Juice

Sunday Mask: Almond Scrub & Lip Scrub

Happy Sunday everyone! Weekend is coming to an end but hope y'all had a fun-filled weekend. Ya know, going out is fun and all, but sometimes, staying in and pamper yourself isn't bad either. Case in point today, I'm just staying home getting things done all the while whipping up a few scrubbies to pamper myself while I go about.

I’m leaving y’all with my two super trusted scrub recipes I have used for years and years. One is an almond scrub for the face while the other is a lip scrub. Go ahead and check them out down below. If you give any of the recipes a go, please do let me know your experience with ‘em. :P

ALMOND SCRUB

You will need:
– 1 teaspoon of Almond Powder
– 1 teaspoon of Honey
– Water (optional)

Saturday Mask: DIY "Mud" Mask

Hello Saturday everyone. Here is another easy DIY face mask with handy ingredients you probably have in your fridge. Let's pull them out and whip up a little something for our skin to prep it for this upcoming week.

Do-It-Yourself "Mud" Mask

What you'll need:
-1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
-1 Teaspoon Honey
-1 Teaspoon of Cocoa Powder
-1 Teaspoon Soy Milk OR Almond Milk OR Buttermilk
-1/2 a Banana
-3 Tablespoon Plain Yogurt
**ADJUSTMENTS
Oily Skin, use less honey and more lemon juice
Dry Skin, use less lemon juice and more honey

What to do:
-Throw everything in a blender, food processor or anything like a Magic Bullet and mix well.
-The final product should be a thick paste.

How to use it:
-Apply the mask to your face and let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
-Rinse in warm water then cold water to close up your pores.

This recipe will make about four masks. Pour the leftover mask into a Ziploc or container and put it in the fridge. The mask should be good for another three days.

This recipe is not only quick and easy, but the ingredients are also healthy and has many benefits for out skin. For instance, the cocoa is rich in antioxidant while lemon juice brightens and exfoliate our skin, ridding of the dead skin cells and yogurt can help clear out our skin and fight blemishes. This is only naming a few, but there are many many more to name.

I'd like to remind you that the skin on our faces are much, much more sensitive than the rest of our bodies. Before trying a new mask, make sure to give it a test on a small area on your hand or arm first. If you ever feel uncomfortable with the mask on, if it burns/stings, wash it off immediately.

I hope you enjoyed this little Saturday post. Take it easy. As always, thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. :)

Sunday Steam Facial

Hello you special lovelies you. :P Hope you all had an enjoyable weekend, as it should be. Can't believe it is Sunday already though, but that is okay! We are now a day closer to Christmas, D-11!! But who's counting ya know. Haha.

Arizona froze over like over night. Holy....gosh! I woke up this morning and it was a  frightening 30 something degrees... Just no. NOOOOOO!!!! :( It was not 30 degrees cold last night, but it was definitely in the lower 40s, which to my standard, is waaaay cold. I spent some time outside last night so my skin is definitely feeling the aftermath today. The moisture was sucked out leaving my skin dry and flaky yet oily at the same time.

This is actually a two bird, one stone type situation. LOL. I get to steam my face AND stay warm. What fun! I made everyone get in on the action, my brother and Mom but of course, being the tough guy my Daddy was, wasn't having any. Haha.

I hope to cleanse my pores and using the steam, hopefully restore some hydration back into my skin. Gosh, I am already disliking the weather already. Stay warm folks; don't let the cold get to you!!
