I'm Patricia. Like many other women i got frustrated with not finding the right products to use on my body. I began putting together simple homemade recipes to use at home, and I found I liked creating new recipes that actually worked. I choose what to put on my skin and that feels great. I also love products, it's a balance. I use home made recipes and products. It's all trial and error. But I can guide you and share homemade recipes with you, if that's the route you want to go. I can also suggest products that I have used and liked. You won't be sorry and neither will your skin and hair. Welcome to my world of beauty.
Over the years women including myself have had so many options when it comes to beauty resources. Thousands of beauty treatments and face creams, one can get lost in all the choices available. In my search I decided to go a different route and started making my own beauty recipes at home. Most of the ingredients I already had in my own kitchen. The positives of making your own beauty treatments are that you decide every ingredient that goes on your body. I can be creative and come up with new recipes as I need them. I have recipes that will treat you from head to toe, and it will leave your body with smooth soft skin and hair.

One of my favourite recipes is a very simple one, honey and plain yogurt face mask. Take one large spoonful of plain yogurt and a small spoonful of honey, mix them together and apply to a clean dry face and neck. Make sure to massage into the skin and cover entire face and neck, and then leave on for 45 minutes. Then rinse off with warm water until all the mask is rinsed off, and then splash your face with some cool water to close your pours. This mask will leave your face smooth and hydrated. The lactic acid in the plain yogurt is a good antiaging agent, and the honey disinfects and moisturizes the skin. Another easy beauty treatment is as simple as using an ice cube. Take an ice cube and rub over your entire face and neck for 20 seconds, repeat this daily. It will close your pours and over time it will make your skin look younger too. Although I enjoy making my own beauty recipes I still use store bought items as well, it’s a balance. As you will see I have homemade recipes for the hair right down to your toes. You can pamper your whole body from the comfort of your own home.

So let’s begin with your hair. For soft hair take pure aloe Vera from an aloe plant if possible, and some virgin olive oil. Add 4 spoonful's of aloe and 4 spoonful's of virgin olive oil, and then mix them together well. Apply to dry hair from the top of your head to the tips of your hair, then massage into scalp and hair. Leave in the hair for 45 minutes then wash and condition, Repeat 2xa week. Another moisturizing hair mask you can try, and ladies it’s a good one. Take two large eggs and crack them in a bowl and then add 4 spoonful’s of grapeseed oil, and then 3 spoonful's of coconut oil. Melt the coconut oil in the microwave first and then let it cool off. When the coconut oil is cooled off mix the ingredients together, then apply to dry hair from root to tips, as your applying it massage it gently into your scalp and hair. Then wrap hair with plastic wrap and put a towel around your shoulders. Leave in hair for one hour and then shampoo and condition as normal. After the treatment your hair will be baby soft, and remember when washing hair use cool water so it doesn’t cook the eggs. Repeat the treatment every 10 days. Another great hair mask to moisturize your hair is milk and honey, Take two cups of whole milk and heat it in the microwave until it is a little warm. Then add two spoonful’s of honey into the milk, mix well then pour over dry hair massaging it in as you pour over hair making sure all your hair is coated. Cover hair with plastic wrap for 20 minutes, then shampoo and condition as usual and repeat 1x a week.

As a toner and anti-aging face mask I enjoy using lemons. Take a fresh lemon and squeeze it into a cup, add a few big spoonfuls of water and mix together. Take a cotton ball and dip into the cup and apply all over your face and neck, then take another cotton ball and repeat. You can apply the lemon mask at bed time and leave on overnight, or start by leaving it on for 40 minutes. After rinse off with warm water and then a splash of cool water, then apply your regular face cream. You can repeat this mask 2x week.

To reduce inflammation or redness on your face try rosewater. It is great as a toner as well. Apply daily with a cotton ball.

Another great natural toner for the face ladies is right in your fridge. Take two eggs and crack open in a bowl separating the whites from the yolk of each egg. Then apply the egg whites to a clean dry face. You can apply it with a cotton ball or a clean blush brush, and apply to entire face and neck. Leave on for 40 minutes and then rinse off with warm water and as I always suggest splash your face with some cold water.

Then put on your favourite face cream. Repeat 1x week.

Now we will move on to the skin on your body which is equally important, right ladies. For dry skin add a can of coconut milk to your bath and blend in. soak in the bath for 15 minutes 2x a week and you will have smooth soft skin.

Another bath remedy for soft skin and to ease those sore muscles, use 2 cups of Epsom salts, 1 cup of sea salt, and 1cup of baking soda. Mix all together in the bath and soak for 20 minutes. You can repeat this as often as you feel like it.

If you are looking for a good body scrub I have a good one for you, coffee body scrub. Take 1 cup of coffee grinds, 1 cup of raw sugar, ½ cup of coconut oil and mix well all together. This amount will make enough for two uses. This scrub can be used on the entire body except the face. With this scrub you will have a healthy glow, repeat 2x week.

We all want to show off our feet, here is a foot soak that will give you beautiful feet. It will soften dry skin and take care of any foot odour you may have. If you already have a foot bath you can use that or you can use a bucket that fits both feet comfortably. Fill the foot bath or bucket with very warm water then add the following, ½ cup of Epsom salts, 5 drops of peppermint extract, 3 drops of tea tree oil, and 4 drops of lavender oil. Soak your feet for 30 minutes then remove feet and tap dry. Then apply your favourite foot cream and then apply a pair of cotton socks. Leave them on overnight, in the morning your feet will feel rejuvenated. Repeat 1x a week.

If you’re looking for simple acne treatment try lemon and aspirin. Take a fresh lemon and one non coated aspirin. Then put the aspirin on a plate and add 3 drops of lemon and mix together until it looks like a paste. Then apply to each pimple and leave on for 20 minutes then rinse off with warm water, then cold water. If you have sensitive skin instead of lemon use water. This will bring down the redness and swelling of the pimple. After apply your face cream and repeat 2x a week.

Another good thing to fight acne naturally is a gentle oatmeal mask. Put regular oatmeal in a bowl with hot water and mix well, then let sit until its cool. Once cooled off add 2 spoonful’s of honey, if you want you can also use 2 drops of tea tree oil. Apply to face and neck and leave on for 20 minutes, and repeat 2x a week.

Here is a great face mask for acne and anti aging that works great and is so simple. Take plain oatmeal and put ½ cup in the blender and mix until it's a powder. Then put into a bowl and add 2 big spoonfuls of plain yogurt and one big spoonful of honey. Mix all ingredients together and apply to face and neck. Leave on for one hour and then rinse off with warm water and then a splash of cool water. if you have trouble removing the mask use a wet face cloth and rub off gently. This mask fights acne and wrinkles all in one mask.

If you want a gentle lip scrub take a spoonful of brown sugar and 1 table spoon of honey, mix together then massage into lips for 2 minutes and then rinse off. You will have oh so soft lips, you can repeat this 2x a week. You can also use this mixture on your hands as a hand scrub.

After you scrub your hands for a minute or two, then apply hand cream and repeat when needed.

Awesome tips!! My favorite recipe for acne (which my boyfriend now uses more than me lol) is a small amount of honey with a pinch of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. Leave on for 15 minutes and rinse or remove with wet cloth.
