A Winter Treat for the Skin

So as I said a few posts before Im starting to get into a better skin routine now I have more time on my hands. We went up to the mountains last week and when I came home I felt that my skin was so dry from the cold and sun.

I decided to try a DIY face pack.

Heres what you will need

• juice of half a lemon
• 2 tablespoons of oats
• 2 tablespoons or organic yoghurt
• 1 tablespoons honey 

(I am using solid honey found at a local farmers market but runny honey would work better)

Very simple, mix all the ingredients in a bowl and apply to your face. I left it on for ten minutes then washes it off with a warm flannel. Honestly, I loved it. I finished it all off buy using the Argan oil as a moisturizer :)

Argan Oil - Liquid gold

I read a fair few different blogs and one thing that always pops up is the use of Argan oil.

Argan oil is mainly produced in morocco as mostly its only found there. Its only very recently that people have started raving about its properties.

Im not one to believe the hype as these kind of things are usually just very good PR but as I have heard everyone talking about it I'm giving it a try.

Its very expensive to but especially the oil specifically used for beauty. Thankfully my parents in law go to morocco  twice a year and buy whatever the locals tell them to so to my delight my mother in law has a massive container of it!

So we shall see how it goes and I shall report back

Beauty Tips

Im really getting into a beauty routine at the moment. 

The last year has been hard as Ive been looking after a baby and working and to be honest Ive been cheating looking after myself. Wearing my hair up to hide I've not straightened or conditioned, applying a second coat of foundation to cover yesterdays to save time, painting over chipped nails... Although I might look half decent, its all a cover up.

But now Evie is playing by herself and work in the winter is chilled, Im able to start looking after myself again. In the coming weeks I am going to be posting some things about homemade beauty treatments. That corresponds well with the homemade craft theme of this blog. I will be trying out face masks, hair masks and all things natural and good for your skin and hair :)
