Some more skin care how to's

                                                              Carrot Scrub
you need some carrots or carrot juice
you can blend carrots in a blender to make the carrot juice.
salt (if you have oily skin only)
brown sugar (for normal or dry skin only)
honey (you can get a honey packet from McDonald's or something)

mix  about a cup of your sugar or salt in a bowl
with the tea spoon or packet of honey mix 
add your half cup of carrot juice
stir.
clean your face
take a paper towel and apply in a circular motion on your face.
you wanna get the dead skin off.
wash off.
after you wash it off your skin will be shiny and smooth.
if you plan on going into the sun remember to wear sun screen because this scrub can make you burn faster without it.

carrots are good for both your skin and body so drink a glass once in a while your body will thank you.

                    Pore Strips

Okay we all get it. black heads.. ewww Gross.
even if you you wash your face twice a day you can still get black heads.
it comes from make up , stress, etc.
But pore strips can cost alot so why not make them yourself?

you need:
unflavored gelatine
milk
a glass or cup
microwave
tooth brush or paint brush or make up brush


Mix 1 table spoon of the gelatine
1 table spoon of milk
stir until it look chunky
place in microwave for 10 seconds
stir 
take your brush and apply it to your nose or where ever
you want. (i apply to my nose and chin)
let it harden and then peel it off.

it is actually better for your skin then the store bought pore strips
since  they have glue in them and this is natural.
yay.

       Hair Remover Wax made from Honey and Sugar

okay so i dropped my tweezers down the sink and i had a job interview. i didn't wanna just shave off my eyebrows again because well.. last time i shaved half of it off and i wasn't gonna risk it.
So i searched the Internet and found this niffy concoction

Brown sugar (white sugar works too)
Honey  (use a lil packet of honey from McDonalds if you want)
Water
Lemon (optional)
Pop cycle stick or something,

For your eye brows , upper lip or Arm Pits
you need to add
2 tsp brown sugar  with 1 tsp of honey 1 tsp of water
into a bowl and mix together.
put in the microwave for 15 seconds. you know its done when it is boiling.
let cool for a few mins or you will burn your face, OUCH
clean your face.
apply with a  pop cycle stick and let sit for a min or so.
pull off in the same direction as your eyebrows grow . if you don't you can get in grown hairs and that will suck.
it will hurt but your face wont be as red and it will be smooth and hair free.

   Green Tea Toner and Anti Puffy eyes
I love green tea. It is healthy and does wonders for the body. and Like most things good for the body it is great for your skin too!

For the toner just make some green tea
and store it in a cute jar or spray bottle.

To use it to get rid of puffy eyes and dark circles
make your tea and use a cotton pad to dab it around your eyes.
you can make the cotton pads with the tea already on them and leave them in
the fridge so you wont have to make one every day.
if you use it for dark circles it will take about 7-8 days before they will be gone but through out the week you will notice the difference.
it will instantly make that red puffy eye disappear !!
