3 Steps To Give You A Tight, Refreshed, Younger Looking Face

“I’m SO stressed! My life is so hectic right now! I wish there were more than 24 hours in a day!”  I don’t get enough sleep!”  I hear this all the time, from so many people. Including myself!

Not realizing the daily stresses of life and lack of sleep can definitely take a toll on your body, and, in my opinion, can speed up the aging process. That’s right! It’s not just getting old that can make you look old. Not taking some “Me” time can certainly speed up the wrinkles and sagging skin. YIKES is right!

So, if you’re worried that your starting to look “old” for your age, or if you’re already old and you are not supportive of that sagging skin, then try adding these 3 simple steps using natural everyday ingredients to you beauty regimen, to get that tight refreshed younger looking face. Think of it as a facelift without having to take a trip to the doctor!

Ready for my close-up! Mwah!

I’ve been using these at-home DIY facials treatments for over 2 months. I love it. They work amazingly. I’m big into using natural products on my hair and skin. I love juicing and have been gearing towards a natural lifestyle all together. When you look at some of the ingredients in all so called natural products you purchase from the store, you can learn a thing or two.

Below is a 3 step at-home facial treatments. They each have amazing properties. They will smooth, plump and tighten your face. Just think,  some pay hundreds, if not, thousands of dollars for a facelift ,and the only thing it will cost you is a trip to the grocery store and a little “me” time.

Grocery Store items needed for your Homemade 3 Steps to The Fountain of Youth! 🙂

Step 1: Silky Smooth Exfoliator

1 tbsp brown sugar

1tbsp extra virgin olive oil

~~ The brown sugar will help in smoothing out the skin while the olive oil moisturizes. ~~

Directions

In a small mixing bowl, mix together the brown sugar and olive oil until it forms a paste. Apply to your face and lightly massage in a circular counter clockwise motion for a few minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

Ingredients for the homemade Tightening Toner

Step 2: Tightening Facial Toner

1 cup of rose water ( I generally mix 1/2 rosewater and 1/2 water)

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp witch hazel

5 drops of almond oil

~~ Both the rosewater and witch hazel serves as an astringent, which helps in shrinking and tightening the pores. The lemon juice aids in fighting wrinkles and brightening the skin, while the almond oil is rich in antioxidents that helps the skin with building new cells.~~

Directions

Add all the ingredients into a mixing bowl, preferably with a pour spout, and mix well. Dab the mixture onto your face with a cotton ball and allow the application to dry. (The reason you want to use a mixing bowl with a pour spout is because there will be left over astringent that you can use daily. Pour the remaining homemade astringent into a small bottle and refrigerate.)

Ingredients for the Cell Boosting Moisturizing Face Mask

Step 3: Cell Boosting Moisturizing Facial Mask

2 tbsp of your favorite moisturizer

1 egg white

2 pinches of turmeric *(See below for Turmeric and it’s amazing properties)*

1 tsp Manuka honey

***Turmeric is a spice used in cooking as well as medicine. It’s imported from India and it has powerful antioxidants. A recent study found that curcumin, the main ingredient in Turmeric, appeared to block an enzyme that promotes the growth of head and neck cancer. ***

~~ The egg white tightens, while the turmeric and honey stimulate the skin and plumps it up, helping to build collagen, which helps create a smoother look.~~

Directions

Mix the egg white, turmeric and honey together to make a pasty consistency. Apply to face evenly, avoiding eye area, and leave the mask on for 20 minutes. Rinse well with warm water.

Confident Going Out Naked

Oh I bet you thought from the title, I meant, as in my naked body. Silly! I might be perfectly imperfect, but I’m not crazy.

I’ve been noticing that with the natural and organic products of Juice Beauty I’ve been using lately on my face as my day/night regimen, have made my skin look brighter, tighter, and given my skin a radiant glow.
I’m using less and less make up, and most days, going out with a bare naked face.

The product line again is by Juice Beauty. Organic and natural ingredients.

No, I’m not getting paid by the company to say this. I just found that with my combination skin, this product has transformed my face texture and elasticity. I would definitely call myself a product junkie and finding the right products for my skin has been a journey. I never had bad skin but being on the stage performing with my rock band and these humid summer days have caused my skin to feel very porous and dry in spots.

Started using Juice Beauty about 2 months ago and I’ll be sticking with this product for sure.

I will say it is some what pricey, but the size bottles you see here will last you a little while.
The cool thing is they do have a trial size package to try out the products before getting the bigger bottles. Runs about $29.50 for that.

I get them at Whole Foods but they do have a website where you buy from them directly. http://www.juicebeauty.com

So there ya have it. If you decide to try it, or have tried it before let me know in the comment section below what your thoughts have been about the Juice Beauty Organic products.

Oh yes and make sure you’re drinking tons of water and have a nutritious diet. That truly helps in making sure your taking care of your body from both the outside and inside.

Naked Face!
