Sometime's the right product is right under your nose!
A few weeks ago, my skin was breaking out hardcore due to my insanely ridiculous eating habits :(
and I didn't really have any treatment products that could significantly tame my skin….so what did I do??? Look in my kitchen!!
Baking Soda, Lemon, Yogurt.. Oh my!
and something that works wonders.. Basen (chickpea flour) and Almond powder
Acne Prone Skin:
Take 2 spoons or a Teaspoon of flour, Baking soda and 1/2 a spoon of yogurt and mix until blended and pastey, add more or less if the paste is too thick or add more flour if the consistency is too thin..
It should turn into mousse
Apply on face wash when dry…. about 20 mins Do this 2X a week..
-Reduces Acne right away
-Creates an amazing glow (perfect to do the night b4 an event or outing)
-reduces blackheads/whiteheads
Oily Skin:
Use squeezed lemon juice with Basen instead of Baking soda and yogurt. Great to reduce oil!
Dry Skin:
Use Almond flour with Honey or oatmeal and yogurt/milk until pastey. Apply on Skin, wash within 10-15 mins.
Try these great masks! If you continue to use these masks regularly you'll see a significant change in your skin right away!

1 product that does EVERYTHING
Its always hard to find a product that u can have multiple use for, and if more products were like such, things would be so much easier! well... There is one product that you can totally use for EVERYTHING. Hair, Skin and body...!! So what product am I talking about?!?!?!!?!
Aloe Vera Gel! Yes! Not only can u use it for LITERALLY everything, its super inexpensive!!!
Aloe Vera Gel is usually used to heal scars, great for moisturizing skin, and keeping acne in control. BUT that's not all! It has internal benefits as well for joint pain and reducing inflammation, and keeping the digestive tract regular!
I usually get the organic one from store, but I came across this one and its working just fine! The greatest thing about it is, I use it on my body, face and my hair!!!!
It has been keeping my hair feeling AMAZZZZZZZZINGGG, soft and shiny!!
So I take a little dab, while my hair is still damp and then run a comb or brush through to distibute evenly! It works as an awesome detangler and makes your hair feel weightless!
EVERYONE should have this and use it daily! Best stuff ever!!!!!!
Aloe Vera Gel can be found at your local grocery store, drug store, and vitamin store!
For Acne this product is great, but u can add a few drops of Tea Tree Oil and apply it as a spot treatment, or all over!

You say Tomato, I say Lemon..
Lately, Ive been Googling any natural foods/remedies that are good for skin. Just to get an idea of what foods I should constantly snack on, so in combination with drinking loads of water, which apparently I've mentioned 3-4 times since I've started blogging, ONLY BECAUSE it has made a TREMENDOUS difference in my skin super fast. But I definitely have been snacking on Broccoli, Carrots, sometimes Asparagus(nasty) Cherry Tomatoes- Love, Black berries, Blue Berries and Strawberries, Almonds, Walnuts too. Not all the time or a even in a special routine.
C'mon, Im pretty lazy when it comes to that, mostly because when I think too much about it, I get so anxious about it that I don't even go through with it. Just to calm the anxiety, Ill be at McDs right away chugging soda down + Everything on their menu. So, don't think about it. Just have the stuff and you'll end up eating it out of convenience.
I was looking for a natural exfoliator, because exfoliating is super important aspect in a skincare regimen or routine. Exfoliating allows you to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores and bring out new radiant skin. When I was younger I was big on St.Ives Scrub but later on I found out in the long run it can cause you to have more wrinkles + its way too harsh for the skin. Certain acid fruits/veg in this case, I'm not sure what a 'lemon' is considered and I've heard 'tomato' goes both ways, so I'm gonna try a little something by mixing a little bit of lemon juice with tomato pulp and let it sit on my skin for 15-20 mins for about 1 week or 2 and ill tell you how it goes, Im gonna check now to see if I even have any lemons left. I found different articles about it but yesterday I came across Huda's Blog which talked about Tomato for skin. I know we have tomatoes or if we run out we'll immediately stock up because it goes in everything my mom makes aka Salan. So, anyway yeah. I'm gonna try that out-
WHY those 2 specifically???? A Tomato has a natural healing agent for acne scars and the acids help remove dead cells. Lemon b/c for a few months I was out of proper skincare and I was using odds and ends till I got more + lacking on the Microderm+ invasive peels which caused a little regressing in the ole skin routine which ultimately caused some uneven skin-tone in the chin area as well as discoloration which is why I am using lemon, as a natural bleaching/brightener
Both Items are highly acidic so you have to be careful. Ive tried so much on my skin I'm sure I'll be OK, but who knows. I tend to leave most products on overnight like masks and stuff but well see how this goes, otherwise what I might do is, Tomato overnight and lemon every other day 15 mins or so! Ill tell you all how it goes.
