Go with the GLOW- Ayurvedic Face Mask

Hi Lovelies! 

I live in Colorado and let me tell you, it's such a dream in so man ways- nearly 300 days of sunshine, beautiful landscapes, kind individuals and I could go on and on- but for my skins sake its anything but ideal. Colorado's climate can be sunny, arid and high altitude and from a natives like myself experience it can mess with your skin. As summer rolls in and it becomes hot and dry, my skin is used to getting  dehydrated and dull. 

Knowing that I can't control Colorado's climate, (if only) I put on my estheticians hat and got to work. I whipped up an easy 3 ingredient face mask, and boy was my skin a fan. This mask has Aloe Vera, Turmeric and Jojoba Oil and will leave your skin hydrated, soft and glowing!

Benefits of Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe Vera gel is packed with vitamins A and B, folic acid, enzymes and proteins. It is used as a replacement for water in skincare products, and it is amazing for hydrating skin. Hydration is key in healthy glowing skin.

Benefits of Turmeric

Do you use Turmeric? If not you should. Turmeric is a yellow spice that has been utilized in India for thousand of years, serving as a medicinal herb. This power house spice has been benefiting humans for over 4,000 years, reducing arthritis, fighting off stomach issues and helping to disinfect cuts. It has also radically affected skincare offering a solution to acne scars, dull skin and sun damage and we are forever singing its praises. 

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is a must have for all skin types. It has a variety of healing properties including acne scars, eczema, dehydration and psoriasis. What I especially adore about this oil is that it is lighter than most and will leave your skin feeling soft and glow-y. 

You Will Need

A bowl

A facial brush (optional)

Aloe Vera Gel 

Turmeric Powder

Jojoba oil

How To

1) In your mixing bowl add 1/4 cup aloe vera gel

2) Add in 1 1/2 tbsp Turmeric powder 

3) Add in 2 tbsp jojoba oil

4) Mix together creating a liquid-y paste

5) Pre cleanse your face, so the mask can do it magic, then pat dry

6)Use a brush (this will keep your hands clean from the turmeric) to spread the mask on your face. Let sit for 10-15 minutes, then wash off. Finish with moisturizer. 

I recommend not wearing white, because the turmeric can stain, but if it does spill don't fret, life GLOWS on....

Sending smiles and glowing skin,
