Honey and Almonds

Look to your kitchen cubboard for healthy, glowy (did I make that word up?, I like it) skin. You have heard it before, the simplest and healthiest skin care can be found in your cubboard. Save some of your raw honey you use for your tea, and use it to wash your face. Really. I keep a jar of raw honey in my shower, and scoop some on my hands to wash my face with it. It rinses off much easier than you would think. It feels and smells yummy too. Honey is antiseptic and a humidifier so it keeps mositure in your skin, while cleaning exceptionaly well. It isnt sticky either. Rather suprising, I think.

Want another trick? Almond oil. I have searched for a quality eye makeup and face makeup remover for YEARS. They either sting my eyes, or contain ingrediants I cant even pronounce, or just plain cost too much. My friend Rupal had a brilliant idea. Almond oil. Again, really. No stinging, pricing very fair, and best of all one simple and beneficial ingrediant, almonds. So, I gave it a try. I LOVE it. Another suprise? I dont find it too oily. For good pricing and a quality almond oil, I shop at Mountain Rose Herbs. You can even buy the organic version, a bit pricier but I find it worth it. Give honey and almonds a try, and let me know what you think.

Juicy

Some of my favorite beauty tips that I could ever think to share are actually health tips, because, are they not one and the same? Oh, sure, I could recommend the right colors, techniques and products, but nothing works like bathing your cells in nutrients. Juicing, in my opinion is one of the best things you can do for your skin, health and life. When I juice regularly, I feel fabulous. In the past friends have asked me for my juice recipes, so here are a few of my favs:

• (All organic, all washed) Four carrots, one apple, one stalk celery, half a cucumber, and one bunch parsley. I use a champion juicer, but there are several good juicers on the market. 
• Or, try two small cucumbers, three stalks celery, four large romaine leaves, two green apple and one lemon (peel the lemon). Yum. 
• One last one, for now, instead of juicing, this one is blended, then strained. One bunch kale, one apple, one lemon (peeled again) and one cup water. Blend (I use a vitamix) then strain. To strain I use the amazing nut milk bag.  You could also use cheesecloth.  Coincidentally, as I was finishing up this blog entry, along comes Dr. Mercola again, with a post of his own about....juicing! 

Glow from the inside. Your affordable mineral makeup will look gorgeaus on your glowing skin. And, you will feel great!

Oh, and drink LOTS of pure water as well.
