The amount of chemicals we put on our skin everyday is astonishing! Why not treat your skin to some lovely natural skincare recipes?

How about a homemade invigorating ginger and lime body salt scrub?

Or some refreshing sweet potato and honey eye parcels?

OR instead of buying expensive pore strips to get rid of blackheads, oil and sebum why not try making your own?

I'm a huge fan of natural beuaty recipes so if anyone has any recipes they'd like to share I'd love to hear them!

I'm going to try out all of these! Thanks! :D

I've tried the pore strips before, and they seem to work great at first, but I can never peel them off right. Do you have any tips for that?

I love to take "brine baths." Pop a couple bags of plain green tea in the tub as you're filling it. Then use small amounts of sea salt to exfoliate, and finish with a mask mix of seaweed and honey.

Sweet, thanks! I have this huge aloe plant, and since I'm not dating a glassblower anymore (burns every other day... they're out of their minds!), I never know what to do with it!

Just seen your question up there btw ^ sorry i forgot to reply! With pore strips and peel off face masks the trick is to leave them on longer than the packet says. I usually leave a peel off mask on for 30 minutes and go about doing things around the house. With pore strips I leave them for a good 15-20 mins. I actually make my own now though and they take 30. If you fancy having a look you can find them here :)

I don't really use recipes, just natural ingredients. I like to soak oats in hot water and then grab a handful and squeeze the extract on to my face. Oat extract really helps with redness.

Try using olive oil warmed up in the mircowave for 30 seconds on your hair before shampooing and conditioning to give it a moisture boost!

I moved from CA to Seattle after High School, and my naturally almost white-blonde hair started to get more gold colored. I missed my natural platinum high lights so I got them back.

1 cup of water
1 cup Lemon Juice
3 Cups Chamomile Tea (brewed and then left to cool)
1 tbs honey

Spritz over your hair and blow dry. The sun works better but the hair dryer works fine too. I usually rinse my hair out afterward. I know this works on brunettes as well, but I'm not sure how dark...

I haven't been doing this since I dyed half my hair black, but as soon as I'm back to all-blonde I'm starting again.
