Thoughts on winter...



It's taken almost a week of labor intensive makeup testing, but I've finally discovered the miracle cure for flaky winter skin. If you enoy olive oil, honey, and egg whites--also losing flakes of skin like you've just come out of a blizzard--then listen up.


Get a warm bath going, light up some candles, pick a book and toss in two cups of epsom salt--good for your muscles. Before soaking for thirty minutes or so, concoct a hair and face mask using the following instructions:

Hair: olive oil (2 tbls), honey (1.5 tlbs), and an egg yolk

Face: egg white, honey, wheat germ

Lather your hair up in, gross as it may seem, the olive oil, honey, and egg yolk, and apply the facemask--either put your hair up in a bun or a shower cap. Let the mask sit for about fifteen minutes before removing with a damp cloth and let your hair sit for about thirty before rinsing and shampooing as usual. Before stepping out of the shower, however, rub a sugar and olive oil mix over your arms and legs for extra moisture and shine. Rinse and feel relaxed.
 
Voila, natural beauty!
