LEMON AND SUGAR FACIAL SCRUB

I HAVE TO THANK POKA FOR ANOTHER FACIAL HIT!

SHE ORIGINALLY GOT THIS FROM THE QUEENOFBLENDING ON YOUTUBE AND I GOT IT FROM HER. THE INSTRUCTION ARE SIMPLE AND ITS BEST TO ALREADY HAVE A SOLID SKINCARE REGIMEN AND ADD THIS A TREAT FOR YOU FACE!

USE REAL LEMON JUICE FROM AN ACTUAL LEMON (NOT THE BOTTLED STUFF)

CUT THE LEMON IN HALF AND SQUEEZE A PALM FULL OF JUICE INTO YOUR HAND, THAN ADD A BIT OF SUGAR

I FOUND THE BEST WAY FOR ME TO DO THIS IS AT NIGHT RIGHT BEFORE BED.

APPLY THE SCRUB AND SCRUB GENTLY,

THEN LET IT SIT ON YOUR FACE WHILST YOU ARE IN THE SHOWER AND LET THEN STEAM WORK ITS MAGIC.

NEXT RINSE IT OFF (DONT JUST WIPE IT OFF WITH THE TOWEL, ACTUALLY RINSE WITH COOL WATER)

APPLY YOUR MOISTURIZER (IT'LL SOAK IN LIKE NOBODYS BUSINESS!!!)

WAKE UP TO SOFT REFRESHED SKIN

SOME LADIES NOTICED THAT THEIR BLEMISHES FADED IN ONE USE. I DIDNT THOUGH IVE USED THIS 3-4 TIMES SINCE I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT AND MY NEWER BLEMISHES FADED, BUT THE OLDER ONES ARE TAKING THEIR TIME, BUT STILL FADING ALL THE SAME....

QUEENIFBLENDING RECOMMENDS USING THIS SCRUB TWICE A MONTH (I THINK) BUT IVE USED IT TWICE A WEEK WITH NO PROBLEMS... IVE ALSO BEEN USING THE HONEY AND CINNAMON MASK AS A SPOT TREATMENT WITH GREAT RESULTS

AS ALWAYS THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT I COULD DO TO ASSIST IN MY SKIN PROBLEMS, LIKE DRINKING MORE WATER.. IM WORKING ON THAT!

REMEMBER WHEN TRYING SOMETHING NEW ALWAYS DO A PATCH TEST. WHAT WORKS FOR ME COULD BE A DISASTER FOR YOU!

MY HAIR

IVE COME TO THE REALIZATION THAT I CANT LET MY HAIR JUST... GO AND BE FREE.. IT HAS TO BE STRETCHED OUT IN SOME WAY IN ORDER FOR US TO CO-EXIST PEACEFULLY. CO-WASHING IS COO (WHICH iVE STARTED BACK DOING TWICE A DAY ON MOST DAYS), BUT I REALLY DONT CARE FOR FORCING MY HAIR INTO A A BUN... MAYBE NEXT SUMMER I WONT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS... NOT REALLY PROBLEMS BUT IM USED TO SIMPLE-NESS AND EASE WHEN IT COMES TO HAIR CARE. NO FUSS AT ALL... WELL IM ABOUT TO GO CO-WASH NOW AND I NEED AN ACV RINSE PRONTO... IN PREPARATION FOR THE WEEKEND CELEBRATIONS, I WILL ROLLERSET MY HAIR ON THURSDAY AS WELL AS FLATIRON . MY PRIMARY STYLE WILL BE BANTU KNOT-OUTS AND BANANA CLIPS AS MY HAIR GETS BIGGER ( I KNOW IT WILL)... HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY LADIES!

HAIR ONE JOJOBA CLEANSING CONDITIONER

I DECIDE TO GO AHEAD AND GIVE THIS A TRY... WHAT A WASTE! I DIDNT NOTICE THAT IT DID ANYTHING THAT REGULAR CO-WASHING DOESNT DO... AAANNNNDDD IT LEFT SOME NASTY LITTLE SENSITIVE BUMPS ON MY SCALP.. IM TAKING IT BACK TO EXCHANGE FOR SOME MORE OF MY FAVE CONDITIONING BALM, I CAN 2 FOR THE PRICE OF THIS CRAP!
