New Addition!

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I am a plant mom and I just love caring for plants! Those are my babies are my top priority until the real babes come along lol!

I used to have an Aloe Vera plant back when I lived in NYC, but unfortunately it died! Yes even plant moms sometimes lose their plant babies, happens to the best of us lol.

Now that I’m in my new home, I decided to get another Aloe Vera plant!

Aloe Vera is beneficial for:

-treating sunburn

-improves digestion

-has antibacterial & antioxidant properties

-improves dry skin

-purifies the air

Check out the video clip of me repotting my Aloe Vera plant! You can find it on my Instagram page here!

Also feel free to follow me and say hello and I will do the same! =)

Do you have any Aloe Vera plants or have you used Aloe Vera before?

DIY Turmeric Face Mask For Glowing Skin!

TURMERIC BENEFITS

Turmeric helps reverse the effects of hyperpigmentation. 

This spice contains curcumin which has many benefits including being antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. 

Curcumin also soothes skin irritations, treat burns and relieve the pain of sunburn.

Turmeric mask also helps treat acne, eczema, and psoriasis. It reduces inflammatory, facial redness, and promotes skin healing! 

HONEY BENEFITS

Honey has so many health benefits which include treating acne, reducing appearance of pimples, scars, blemishes, and generally improves the skins appearance. 

It also contains antibacterial, antiseptic, and antioxidant properties. Antioxidants protect the skin by not allowing toxins to harm the skin. Honey is also a skin moisturizer and attracts and holds water and at the same time dried out bacteria.

MILK BENEFITS

Milk contains lactic acid which helps soften dry, hard skin and reduce skin roughness.

 It also soothes irritated skin, repairs aged skin, and lightens skin! 

So know that you know the benefits of each ingredient, let’s get to the mask! 

Ingredients:

1tsp Turmeric

1tsp honey

1tsp milk

Directions:

-Combine all ingredients together in a bowl making sure it has a bit of a paste consistency so it’ll adhere to your face. 

-Wear a t-shirt that you’re okay with getting messy because tumeric DOES STAIN so be careful! 

-Apply Turmeric mask evenly to clean face. I used a clean make up brush for easier application. 

-Leave mask on for about 20 minutes then wash off with cool water. Gently dry your face with a washcloth. 

Warning: Make sure to do a skin test by putting the mask on a small area of skin befor applying to your face. Turmeric and honey can cause an allergic rash in some people which can cause hives, contact dermatitis, redness of skin, blisters, itchiness, and swelling. 

When I washed off my mask, my skin felt so soft and smooth! I will do this mask again in the future to help get rid of my hyperpigmentation!

If you do this mask, let me know how it worked out for you!
