Sugar Scrub for Dry Skin

Now that it's winter time, my skin is occassionally becoming incredibly dry, and I just feel like I need a bit of extra moisture. Now that it's super dry, exfoliation is very important! Just like my last scrub, this is a great inexpensive Christmas gift for friends who struggle with being dry!

What you need:
-1cup brown sugar
-1/2 cup olive oil
-1/4 cup coconut oil

Just mix all the ingredients togather and put in a mason jar for an ultra hydrating scrub. You probably won't even need to moisturize afterward!

Make sure you check out my recipe for people with oily skin too!

Best DIY Face Mask For All Skin Types

I tried out a new facemask, and I'm in love. It was also incredibly easy, and everything you need is (most likely) laying around your house!

You need:
-2Tablespoons of honey
-Teaspoon of cinnamon
-Teaspoon of nutmeg
-small bowl for mixing

-Basically, you just mix the stuff together and slap a thick coat on your face.

*TIP:Before using any mask on your skin, test it out on just a small portion to make sure you aren't allergic.*

-you want to leave this on for about 30 mins, then you can scrub it off, and voila-flawless skin! Cinnamon and nutmeg both exfoliate and draw out any impurities from the skin. (They also reduce redness or scarring!) Honey is a good, non-oily moisturizer, which makes this mask good for any type of skin. This is just super quick and easy-not to mention, wondurful smelling-and I hope y'all like it! Thanks for reading!

Scabs, Scars, and Acne Bringing You Down?

I got a mosquito bite on my face, and the next night  I scratched it in my sleep or something, because I woke up with a big scab(right in between my eyebrows!), and I thought I'd share with you how to get rid of similar things!

Here's a trick that I absolutely LOVE. It's super cost friendly, and it's quick and easy to do!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
-Peroxide
-Aloe Vera(pref. Ocean Potion Burn Relief Ice with Licodain Tea Tree Oil)
-Bandaid
-Qtip

First off, I like to clean the area with peroxide. It helps prevent infection.

Next, I apply a large dollop of the Aloe Vera with a q-tip. The reason I suggest the Ocean Potion is because it has tea tree oil. Basically this helps to keep any scabbing from being flaky, and it helps to rid any blemish and reduces the redness. If you put it on over night, it will do WONDERS to the mark. It may sting a little, and that's perfectly okay!

You want to cover it with a bandaid so the Aloe Vera stays on, it will help retain the moisture.

The aloe vera gel will also help you to get rid of any exsisting scar quickly! (Again, I think the Ocean Potion Instant Burn Relief Ice is the best!) I put it on one time and noticed a dramatic difference!

I know everyone's skin is different, and this may not work for everyone, but I thought I'd share what really helped me!
