Parsley Face Mask.
This mask is ideal to hydrate your skin & it will help you get the vitality & brightness you are be looking for. Because the combination of ingredients is super powerful.
Ingredients:
A parley buch
1/3 of a cup of olive oil
1/3 of a cup of oats
First, you will pour all of the ingredients into a blender and beat them until they are well combine. After all of your ingredients are well combined you will pour then into a container that can be place into the freezer. Then, you want to freeze your mask until it turned into basically an ice cube.
Before you apply this mask, you want to exfoliate your skin with your favorite face soap and exfoliation tools. After your skin is clean you can apply your mask just as it is (frozen) and leave it for at least 30 minutes.
Obviously, after the 30 minutes has passed you will rinse the mask off your face with cold water. Please note that there is not need to use soap at this time to keep the moisturization of the oil on your skin ☺️.
The combination of ingredients will help you hydrate your skin & the fact that the mask is super cold will help with the reduction of open pores after the exfoliation.
The idea is to use this mask every two weeks, to keep your skin as brighter as posible. If you have an oily skin you could apply this mask once a month or substitute the oil for plain whole greek yogurt.
This mask should last until it ends, remember to put it back into the freezer after each use.

Really? Oats on my face Ara?
Yes! oats on your face.

The combination of oats and greek yogurt is amazing! The acid of the yogurt will help to open your pores and the grease that it contains will help moisturize your skin. On the other hands, the oats will reduce the excess of grease and pimples.

Night Time Bath Routine.
Who doesn't love to sleep all night like a baby?
We all love that. This bath routine will help you sleep tight after a long day at work or after a long and busy day doing your personal things. It's also excellent to reduce stress, specially to those who have small kids that require more attention. Remember that you also need to spend time with yourself.
Prepare your might first. Yes, your might first.
In know 🙄.
Tell her to relax, that is YOU time and is time to get ready to sleep. Don't bring any stressful situation that happened to you during the day into the shower, keep your might focus on relaxation.
I usually love cold water, but at night I graduated fresh or warm. Use your favorite soap and auto massage your skin showing her some appreciation and love. After you shower, I recommend you to apply some lavender lotion or lavender essential body oil. Do you a face massage with your night time face cream or rose face oil.
For your face massage you could used a Rose Quartz Facial Roller if you have one.
After you finish with your relaxing shower drink a nice and warm cup up decaffeinated tea with a splash of honey.
If you love sweet just like me 🥰
My favorite teas at night are decaffeinated green tea with some drops of lime. I also love chamomile, detox & anise tea.
