Brown Sugar body scrub

Hi, people! How are you guys doing? Is your skin stressing you out?

Taking care of your own skin is never easy. However, do not worry because here in our blog, we teach you how to take care of your skin using affordable ingredients and easy steps.

Today, I'm going to teach you to make your own body scrub. Do you know what are the benefits of using body scrub?

Benefit 1- Exfoliating

Body scrubs are a great way to exfoliate dead skin cells that make your skin look dull.. This paves the way for fresh new cells to regenerate and leaves you looking and feeling fabulous. 

Benefit 2 – Moisturizing Benefits

When dead skin cells are removed through the gentle exfoliating action of a body scrub, moisturizer can be absorbed better. For best results, look for one that contains natural oils such as almond oil which moisturizes as it exfoliates. You can even make your own homemade body scrub like we taught you in our previous post, the banana body scrub and also the brown sugar scrub which we are going to teach you later. 

Benefit 3 – Relaxation

Treating yourself to a body scrub, especially when combined with a massage, is just plain relaxing. Having a body scrub done by a professional allows you to incur the benefit without the mess or stress. 

Now, how to make your own brown sugar scrub:

Ingredients:

 -Honey

 -Ginger

         -Mint leaves

    -Olive oil

           -Brown sugar

                        First, put some brown sugar and olive oil into a container. 1/3 of olive oil and 1/3 of brown sugar. Stir it.

After that, add one spoon of honey into it.

You can also add some ginger and mint leaves. Ginger helps increase skin's radiance and decrease inflammation such as psoriasis and acne.

Mix It well, and your brown sugar body scrub is done!

Lips treatment

I always think that lips are the most attractive part in human body especially women, but it’s also the part that people always neglect to take care of. Especially in Malaysia, the weather is terribly hot, some people can't stand it so their lips will "crack",I found out that vaseline is one of the most benefical " lips protector ". So, come, let’s do a simple vaseline lips treatment today! ^_^

It’s as easy as ABC, we just have to prepare 2 things:

  1. Vaseline

                                2. A small piece of cling film

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Firstly, apply some Vaseline or petroleum jelly on the lips.

 

 

 

 

 

Then, cut a small piece of cling film, make sure it is big enough to cover your lips

 

 

 

 

 

 

Secondly, put the small piece of cling film on your lips.  This will help you to steam your lips so the Vaseline will be well absorbed. Leave it for 15 minutes.  

 

 

 

 

 

 Now your lips are moistened and softened. ^_^

 

* Vaseline- This product is made by 100% pure petroleum jelly, I remembered a friend of mine who is a doctor told me vaseline is effective in healing dry skin and protecting minor cuts. The lips treatment above is actually taught by him too.

Fruits are rich in vitamins, nutrients and a good source of fiber. It can also  prevent constipation. Besides that, fruits can help us to improve our improve our metabolism especially for females.

Toner Mask

Have the ladies ever known toner is very important to improve our skin texture.  Toner is a part of our daily skin care routine.  It can help us to tighten our pores and also balance our skin PH.  I always apply toner before the day and night cream because toner makes our skin to have better absorption of moisturizer or essence. Toner can also become essence mask too.  I do toner mask few times a week to keep my skin shine and hydrated.  Now I am going to share the steps on how to make toner mask.

 

 

First of all, you need to prepare a bottle of toner.  I am using Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion. You can easily find it in Watsons or Sasa. It costs RM45.90 per bottle and I think the price is reasonable.

 

 

 

You also need to prepare cotton that can be separated into few thin layers.  I am here to recommend Muji unbleached cotton pads.  This is because their cotton pads are unbleached.  It comes into big cut size and very absorbent.  I think Muji unbleached cotton pads are most suitable for making facial mask.  It is slightly pricey if you compared to those cotton pads that you normally see in Watson and Sasa.  It costs RM16.90 per pack (102 sheets) and you can find Muji shop in Pavillion. 

 

 

 

Pour some toner to cotton pad and make sure it is wet enough.  If you want to save the amount of toner you are going to use, you can always soak your cotton with water first and gently squeeze out excess water with your hands before pouring toner.

 

 

 

 

Separate your cotton into few thin layers

 

 

 

Stretch it before putting on your face, so your cotton will be big enough to cover your entire face

 

 

 

Put them on your forehead, cheeks, mouth & nose.

Make sure you open up some holes while covering your mouth & nose, or else you will die without oxygen ^_^Leave it on for about 5 to 10minutes.  Gently remove it before your cotton pads are getting dry.  You can feel your skin now is very hydrated and refreshed !!! ^_^

Healthy soup

Food plays an essential role in our lives. Now, I am going to share how to boil ABC soup. It is convenient, delicious and healthy. Carrots provide vitamin B and it contains natural antibiotic. It is also good to prevent insomnia.  Potatoes can help to prevent from constipation and to supplement your diet. Onions can help to detoxify our internal bacterial and onions can also help to help your hair to grow to be more blackly and smoothly. Tomatoes can help to moisture your skin, tomatoes contain a lot of vitamin B and vitamin C. Nutritionist also encourage clients to eat more and more tomatoes because tomatoes can help to prevent from cancer disease and it may help to prevent from getting older .Overall, ABC soup is a good health and beauty supplement.

Firstly, you have to prepare the ingredients. I’m not going to add either oil or monosodium glutamate (Ajinomoto).

  ~5 potatoes

   ~5 tomatoes

~5 carrots

~5 onions

Salt (2 and a half tea spoons)

(This amount of ingredients can produce 7-8 bowls of soup)

Secondly, I’m going to wash all the vegetables. After cleaning, fill in water into the basin in order to soak the vegetables. While soaking, you may add some salt into the water to reduce agricultural chemical. 

Next, cut all the vegetables into small pieces.

Next, fill in water into the pot. (about half pot)

When the water is boiled, throw everything into the pot and boil 2 – 3 hours.

After that, you can also add a few tea spoons of salt in order to taste nicer

 Wow…. Does it look tasty to you? Yummy…Yummy…. The soup is full of vitamins and it is not oily because we didn’t add oil and meats.

If you like green onion like me, feel free to add some into your soup.
