Summer skin care


Summer is my favorite season... the Sun, the beach and of course for the fact that I can wear all my beautiful Summer dresses, shorts haha...

My skin is that sensitive mixted type, when I get tanned, it becomes more oily... so for all your mixted skin type ladies, I'd share my Summer skin care secret today with you. :-)

I used to pay tones of money on super expensive facial masks and most of the time, the result is deceiving... :-( now the only mask I use is the cheap one I make myself and it works wonder!

In order to make the mask, you need:
  • white clay powder (I use the white one because it is milder than the green one)
  • flower water (you can use simple mineral water as well, I got the organic one from Di)
You can find these in an organic shop.





Put 2 spoons of white clay powder in a little bowl.

Add little by little the flower water in the white clay, don't add too much at a time, do it slowly...
You can control the thickness of the mask by controlling the quantity of added water. I like my mask think but not liquid (otherwise it won't stay on your face).
Before applying the mask on the face, remove the make-ups if you wear some... and clean your face and exfoliate it with a mild exfoliant. I use this white clay one that you can find in lots of beauty stores... it is fine so it desn't agress your skin.

Now apply the mask on your face and of course avoid your eyes... leave it for 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of your mask... If you want, you can even wet the mask once it gets dried and leave it a bit longer on the face... then simply wash it off, and apply some tonic and cream to hydratate your epiderm.

And don't forget, you can nurrish your skin by eating fresh veggies and fruits. Summer is the ideal season to do this! Carottes are known for keeping your tan and make your skin glow... snack on carottes and yellow fruits will help you to have a beautiful glowing skin in Summer! :-)

Love bags but not under my eyes :p


I work 10 hours in front of my laptop, plus all the hours I spend on the internet for my blog etc... my eyes suffer from that and lack of sleep, so sometimes I have those annoying rings under my eyes.  I think lots of you ladies have the same problem, so I'd like to share with your my secret weapon (all natural of course :-) )



(source: lipton.com)

Keep 2 green tea bags after drinking the tea, Lipton green tea for example. I personally love use Lipton mint green tea to have that extra freshness! Otherwise simple green tea is great, as well as Camomile infusion...


Put the used tea bags in the fridge for 4-5 hours.

Lay down in your sofa and put on some relaxing music, put the bags on your eyes for 15 minutes and enjoy the music... :D

Et voilĂ , you will see a significant difference! ;-)
