DIY Oatmeal Mask

One of my readers and friends Wilniady sent me this wonderful homemade oatmeal mask recipe which is ideal for all skin types.  This helps with acne, treats mild irritations, opens the pores so dirt can be removed, and even helps soothe sunburn.  I also changed the recipe that I received a bit.

También cambie la receta que he recibido un poco.

Lo que yo y mi amiga Elvira hicimos mientras esperábamos.

Also Elvira made us some wonderful fruit smoothies!

¡TambiénElvira, nos hizo unos frappes de frutas maravillosas!

If you have dry skin you can substitute the water for milk so it nourishes it better.  you can repeat the mask once to twice a week for optimal results.

Sitienes la piel seca puedes sustituir el agua por leche lo que la nutre mejor. Puedesrepetir la mascara una o dos veces a la semana para obtener resultados óptimos.

DIY Tinted Moisturizer

Have you been on the hunt for the perfect tinted moisturizer? Tired of wearing foundation everyday when all you really want is minimal coverage?  Don't have the money to spend on one right now? Well I've got your answer!  Make it, and the best thing is that you most likely already have the ingredients in your home.  Here's what you need:

• Moisturizer
• Your favorite foundation

Procedure:

• Put about a pea size amount of moisturizer on your hand 
• Add half a pea size of foundation to it and mix
• Apply to your face and blend out

It's that easy!  I do this the days where I want to have a little more color on my face other than just some powder.  I do this a lot when I go out during the day or even when I go to college because I want minimal makeup but I still want to even out my skin tone and have it look polished.  

The end product

XOXO,
