What’s the affordable secret to a gorgeous reflection?

Now come on guys I know you also want to know the secret to a healthy young complexion and shinny strong hair. You don’t have to drop crazy amounts of money at the beauty salon…the affordable secrets actually are right in your kitchen. Below you will find my favorite face and hair mask! What’s so great about using food rather than fancy-schmacy bank draining products? They don’t contain alcohol. If you check out the ingredients listed on most face and hair masks (other than organic products) you will find alcohol. Yes alcohol is a great antibacterial but it is extremely drying…umm isn’t the purpose of these masks to hydrate the body?

Face Mask:

Simple organic unprocessed honey spread thinly over a clean face not only provides lasting hydration but also acts as a natural antibacterial. Now you can make this a little more fancy by adding some crushed almonds which act as a natural exfoliant. Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes. Remove with warm water and feel how amazingly soft your skin is!

Best Honey- Raw Manuka Honey; $18-$40/ jar

More Affordable and still pretty good- Trader Joe’s Organic Raw Honey; $5.99/jar

Hair Mask:

Combine 1 avocado, 2 tbsp olive oil, juice of one lemon, and 1 tbsp organic honey. Okay so this green goop is a little hard to stomach at first. But trust me putting this chunky mixture on your head will leave your hair silky smooth! I suggest performing this messy task over the sink with a towel wrapped around your shoulders and one to save your floor from green stains! Generously lather your hair with this yummy concoction and allow it to rest for a good 20 minutes. Shower it off and continue with your normal shampoo/conditioner regime!

Another great reason to make your own face and hair products….less environmental toxins and overall less packaging waste! Take care of your body as you take care of the Earth!

And remember to keep up the healthy diet, your clean and balanced energy fuel source also provides the body with necessary vitamin, minerals and protein to keep you lookin good!
