DIY: Vegan face mask for acne-prone skin

Hello everyone!

Like I always say; many store-bought beauty products are full of toxins and irritating ingredients.  Thankfully, nature provides effective alternatives for healthy skin that are gentle, cruelty free, vegan, and made with items you probably already have in your pantry!  Today I want to share one of my favourite beauty recipes with you; a vegan face mask for acne-prone skin!

You only need three ingredients, all of which I already used in previous DIY recipes I posted on this blog. 

Ingredients:
  • 1 banana (ripe)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

This face mask recipe with banana, baking soda and turmeric can reduce acne.

Here's how it works:

Bananas not only act as an astringent which balances oils in the skin, but also nourishes and rejuvenates the skin.  Baking soda pulls out oil and dirt from the pores and turmeric reduces inflammation and provides the skin with anti-microbial and anti-bacterial benefits.

For more information on the ingredients check out these posts:

Method:
  1. Mash the banana in a bowl. 
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
  3. Wash face and pat dry. 
  4. Apply paste onto damp skin and leave for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Rinse off with cool water.

Try this out and let me know if it works for you too!

A typical brunette?

Hello everyone! At one point or another, we've all heard the stereotypes about hair colour.  Such as; �Blondes have more fun� ,   �Redheads are wild� , and   �Brunettes are trustworthy�.   Of course, every now and then we do fall into those categories,  but can hair colour really have an effect on our personality?  Totally, a new hair colour can enhance your mood, style, and confidence, as well as change the way other people perceive you. Now, personally, I have dyed dark brown hair.  I'm a natural brunette, but my natural colour is a couple of shades lighter than my dye.   I'm considering changing it to a soft medium brown, for the warmer months ahead.    If you too are looking for your perfect hair colour check out    Madison Reed 's   website for  hair dye  advice .     Madison Reed ,  is a hair care company that specialises in   hair dye .   Their dye is a healthier  s...
