The 1.2.3. Facial

This facial is simple, natural and perfect for every skin type! The only ingredients you need are skin-friendly oils and a bowl of steaming hot water. Jojoba oil works to break up make-up and dirt, all without stripping your skin of moisture. The lavender oil gently draws out impurities. The hot water works wonders for your skin, especially if you use a lot of make-up. It opens pores, breaks up dirt and oils, and, if you have allergies or a cold, it can do wonders for a stuffy head.

Follow these easy steps to gorgeous skin:

Step 1: Oil up

 Massage 1/4 tsp Jojoba oil and 2 drops lavender oil into your skin and let sit for 5 minutes

Step 2: Steam

Boil some water and then pour it into a bowl. Sitting at a table, place a clean towel over your head and the bowl. Relax and breathe deeply. (Scalding yourself is not relaxing, so be careful!) 

Step 3: Wash

Use warm water and a gentle face soap to wash it all away.

DIY Beauty

Skincare doesn't have to be a science and I've learned, the simpler the better. Here are two of my favorite recipes. 

 This first recipe is from a magazine, maybe Bazaar, but now I can't remember. Anyway, it's not my original idea and I'm not claiming it as such.

I got the recipe for this great facial scrub from my lovely sister. It's soothing and softening, and has a gentle cleansing effect. It's perfect for all skin types.

Recipe:

1 tsp honey

1 tsp baking soda

1-2 drops lavender oil

2 drops warm water

Mix ingredients together in a small bowl. Massage gently into skin in a circular motion. Rinse with warm water.
