Turmeric a great spice that is not just for you food.
Turmeric has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and bacteria killing properties.
Turmeric combined with
chickpea flour, and
almond oil is an excellent exfoliant and moisture absorber, it should be made and applied a day before any big event. Consistency of the application should be a paste, 20 minutes on the face, remove with warm water, then splash with a cooling astringent, and follow with a light moisturizer.
Avocado is nutritious, delicious and good for your skin.
Avocado is both high in good fat content and
Vitamin E. The Combination of
Avocado and
Honey, which has it's own good for you properties, especially as an anti-inflammatory; this combo is great for problem skin, and those needing a hydration boost. Combine these two ingredients for a face mask, consistency of a very thick cream, remove after 10 minutes with warm water, apply an astringent, you may not need a moisturizer after this treatment. (I have an oily T-zone, and I never need a moisterizer after this mask).
Camellia Nut Oil is high in
Viatmin E, antioxidants and
oleic acid.
Camellia Oil can be used as an all over body moisturizer used alone or combined with any lotion or cream. All the properties in
Camellia Nut oil nourish your skin, it has been used to treat burns, and stretch marks, it is a top ingriedient for high dollar nail strenthners.
One of my favorite moisturizing oils to use alone is
