all natural beauty tricks!

these tricks will eliminate all of the artificial ingredients from your skin care product routine so your natural skin will show through. i don't use this as my skin care routine, but you can if you want organic, natural, and effective results every day, go ahead and use this routine!

SCRUBS:
#1: walnut scrub
walnuts are super-rich with natural oils that can do magic with your complexion.
create a fine mixture of:
half cup of olive oil
1 tablespoon of honey
one-fourth cup of shelled walnuts
tip: you can definitely use a food processor to get the best texture possible to create a soothing scrub.
massage the scrub into delicate spots like the feet, face, and hands to eliminate dead skin cells and other residues. rinse of with warm water.
#2: oatmeal scrub
use this amazing natural ingredient to remove dead skin cells from the pores and the surface of your skin. oatmeal also has a cleansing and anti-inflammatory quality, leaving your complexion free from pimples and other skin problems. place a tiny amount of oat  into a clean cloth and secure it with a pin or rubber band. dip the cloth into warm water and squeeze the extra liquid. then, wash the face or body with this water and wait a few minutes until your skin is completely dry. the result is a revitalized and shiny complexion.
MASK:
#1: sour cream moisturizing mask
use sour cream to restore skin's moisture and avoid the appearance of wrinkles and other skin problems. cleanse your face and apply 1-2 tablespoons of sour cream on your pores. make sure you skip the sensitive spots as the area around the eyes and lips. leave the mask on for 5-10 minutes, then use a damp cloth to wipe off the mask. finally, rinse off your skin with warm water. the lactic acid brightens up your skin instantly!

OILS:
#1: hands: almond oil
use this natural oil to keep your hands and nails in the best shape possible. rub a tiny amount of almond oil into your skin and cuticles, then wrap your hand in towels. leave it on for 5-10 minutes to make sure the oil got into even the deepest layers of your hands and cuticles. finally use a cloth to wipe off the excess oil. it's optional to wash your hands. almond oil is rich in vitamin e and anti-oxidants that can keep you away from dry skin and wrinkles that appear as the result of bad weather.

drugstore pricing.

okay, so we all know that drugstores like CVS and walgreens are much more expensive in the beauty department than walmart and target. so, what's the point of shopping for drugstore makeup at actual drugstores, while you can save money at target? maybe its more convenient, and the selection is better. but if you think about the money you're saving, you could go out and buy another drugstore product for that money. i know i sound like the cheapest person on the face of the earth right now, but its true. hopefully you take this advice and go to target or something like that for your drugstore makeup and other drugstore products and save money! thanks for visiting the blog, and i hope you enjoyed<3
