Prep Your Skin
The dry and brittle climate of winter can bring the worst out of your skin. It’s time to relinquish yourself of dry and flaky skin, and bring out its better side. A deep full body exfoliation is what I love to do! I emphasize the full body because most of the winter we are covered up and don’t even pay attention to every inch of our deer skin. This is an opportunity to give your skin some much needed TLC and attention.
Here’s one of my favorite DIY home exfoliation remedies that will leave your skin feeling smooth, soft and ready for skirts and sandals:
- Mix 2 cups of brown sugar with 1 cup of olive oil.
- Scrub the entire body using circular motions, giving rough dry patches on the skin some extra rubbing.
- Rinse and moisturize.
For a deep cleansing facial mask to bring out your complexion and natural glow:
- 1 teaspoon plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ of an unripe papaya
- Mix the ingredients in a food processor or blender.
- Apply to your face for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Rinse and moisturize.
