DIY: Egg White Facial

Hey! Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday. It's time for another DIY. I have been using this technique for about a year now. I really started using natural products ever since I got hit with acne 2 years ago. Now this one just consists of eggs, particularly the egg white. This facial has become one of the most popular tips out there.



The egg white contains calcium, potassium and iron. By applying it to your face you receive an instant lift. It is known to reduce the appearance of minor breakouts and enlarged pores. The egg yolk contains a lot of protein and nutrients that are very moisturizing.

Let's begin:

1. You will need one egg. And start by cracking it open and separating the yolk. Do this over a bowl so that the egg whites can be collected. Put aside the yolk for now.
2. Lightly whisk the egg white, until it is frothy.
**Make sure your face is cleansed and un-moisturized.
3. Now take a small amount of the egg white in your fingers or with a cotton pad. Apply it to your face.
** You may apply several layers of the egg white, do this quickly as the egg whites will dry.
4. Let this dry for 10-15 minutes. You can tell when it is time when you cannot move your face.
5. Rinse your face with warm water and pat dry.
6. Now you can use the yolk! Take about a teaspoon and apply to your face.
7. The process is similar, wait until the yolk dries and wash with warm water.
8. Apply your favourite moisturizer.

Now say hello to an instant face lift! It's Botox the natural way.
Enjoy! Comment below and let me know if you have tried it and your results.

DIY: Lemon Scrub

Recently my skin has been acting up, weather, hormones and what not. I became very frustrated and started using my regular technique to get rid of acne. However, I came across a video on YouTube on this lemon scrub; it works wonders! So I wanted to blog about this DIY.

Needed:
- lemon juice
- cosmetic cotton round
- granulated sugar (white or brown)





STEP 1: Juice 1 lemon; an alternative is prepared lemon juice which comes in bottles.

STEP 2: Saturate the cotton pad in the lemon juice.

STEP 3: Add about a teaspoon of sugar on the cotton pad.

STEP 4: Make sure your face has been cleansed and use the cotton pad to exfoliate. Try to focus on the problem areas.

STEP 5: Wash your face with lukewarm water and pat dry. Your face should be extremely soft now :)

STEP 6: Moisturize. I like to moisturize with olive oil. It keeps my face soft and lightens up my acne scars!
