Spring cleaning

Hello everyone!
Today is the first day of SPRING and it's officially spring cleaning season!
Spring cleaning is the practice of thoroughly cleaning a house in the springtime.  However, you don�t have to stop with cleaning your house; your skin care regimen needs some spring cleaning too.
1.  Spring cleaning is a great opportunity to clean out old beauty products.  Old products can harbour bacteria and lose their effectiveness.
Check the dates on your products and toss the following:
  • Anything past the expiration date
  • Products that have changed consistency, colour, or smell
  • Mascara tubes older than three months
  • Dry products
  • Old make-up brushes and sponges
  • Anything with an SPF older than one year 
    2.  Spring is a good time for deep exfoliation.  Here are three DIY exfoliation recipes that will leave your skin ready for dresses and sandals:
    Nourishing body scrub
    Yummy facial scrub
    Simple hand/body scrub
    3.  Adjust your skin care routine to reflect the season.
    • Higher temperatures result in oilier skin.  It�s important to use a lighter moisturiser during spring and summer.
    • Use a lighter foundation and lighter, brighter make-up colours.
    • Sunscreen is important all year, but it is essential in the spring and summer. 
    I hope you find this helpful.  If you have more beauty tips for transitioning from winter to spring, leave them in the comment section.  

    Happy first day of spring!

    Hello everyone!  If, like me, you hate the chemical-laden, store-bought deodorants,  y ou can make your own natural deodorant from scratch � in both  solid  and spray form.  Since I�ve already posted a  DIY solid deodorant recipe , I want to share my favourite spray deodorant formula, too.  This one is way easier and quicker to make.  Enjoy! Ingredients: 60 ml (2 fl oz) witch hazel (astringent) 12 drops of essential oil - Choose an oil with antibacterial and anti-fungal properties such as, sweet orange, tea tree, lemongrass, lavender, etc. Method: Pour your ingredients into a spray bottle and screw the top back on.  Shake well before use.  It's super simple to make and it  really does work ! Have you ever tried using a DIY deodorant?  Do you prefer a solid or a spray formula? Have a great day!
