So you went for
your Christmas shopping and
bought that Kaygee ‘mist’ lipstick???
Or the
House of Tara foundation for that flawless look you've always wanted to achieve???
Or That
gorgeous suede sleek pressed powder??
And you forgot to get a cleanser!!!
How on earth am I going to get this makeup from
my face before I sleep you ask!
Well let’s get you fixed on getting the perfect
cleanser from simple things you can find in your kitchen/house.
Things you'll need:
- Aloe Vera gel (I used the fresh one, you can use the processed gel if you want):
Aloe vera contains a plethora of anti-oxidants like beta carotene,
vitamins C and E that improve the natural firmness of skin. It keeps the skin hydrated.
It improves the skin elasticity, therefore minimizing the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Thus it refreshes the skin and makes it
vibrant and young looking.
- Olive oil It is a great skin moisturizer, in part because it contains linoleic acid, a compound not made by the body, but which prevents water from evaporating.
- Distilled water
- Blender
Method:
Step 1: using a spoon scoop aloe gel from leave
into the blender.
Step 2: Add
2tbs of olive oil, you can twerk this depending on the quantity of your
aloe gel.
Step 3: Add distilled water and BLEND YOUR WAY
TO CLEAN SKIN.
If your acne prone you might want to add few
drops of tea tree oil, (it is a potent antifungal that is often used to cure fungal
infections of the nail, athlete’s foot, acne and lice. It is also a great
natural antiseptic making it perfect for use on cuts, abrasions, burns, bug
bites, mouth and nose infections and several other minor infections.)
Please store in the refrigerator especially if you used the real aloe-vera gel.
I did not store mine early, the smell after few days was not too pleasant but keeping it cool made it better for my delicate eye and killed the smell.
Let me know how well you love your new cleanser………….

Thanks Dear
DeletehUgS!!
Great now where will I find aloe vera and distilled water? But olive oil works perfectly well.
ReplyDeleteI asked someone to get aloe vera for me, you can buy the already processed aloe gel from natural nigerian or sizzelle store.
DeleteFor the distilled water, you can boil normal water and let it cool before using it.
Hope this will help!!:)
