Yogurt Facial Mask

Hi Everyone,

I've always wanted to create my own facial mask so I decided to try one out. I chose the yogurt mask especially because it is used to help prevent and reduce wrinkles in the face. The amazing thing is that this mask serves for multiple purposes as well. The lactic acid in the yogurt mask cleanses the skin, unclogs pores, reduces fine lines and wrinkles and even moisturizes dry skin.

So if you are interested in trying the yogurt facial mask here is what you need to know...

What you need: 

• Yogurt 
• Lemon Juice (olive oil or vinegar can also be substituted)
• Measuring Cup
• Small Bowl and Spoon for mixing

What to do:

1. Mix together 1/3 cup of plain yogurt and 1/4 cup of lemon juice.
(If after mixing the mixture is too thick add a little more lemon juice or if the mixture is too thin then add more yogurt).

2. Apply this mask to your face and keep it on for 20 minutes.
(At first the mask will feel creamy but no worries after a few minutes it will begin to harden!)

3. After 20 minutes has past, take a damp cloth and gently wipe the mask off of your face.

4. Seal the remainder of your mixture and refrigerate for further use.
(Do not exceed refrigeration for longer than a week)

This facial mask is super simple but your skin will feel smoother and rejuvenated!

Hope this works for you!

Troublesome Grays

Ever have that those few gray hairs that just keep popping out? Well I have many gray hairs myself. Unfortunately, I've had them since I was 19 but as I am aging the amount of gray's keeps increasing. So here is a little trick if you have a few gray but don't have the time to touch up your roots. 

Take a mascara wand and very gently brush it over the few gray hairs that you want to cover up (start from the top and brush outwards). Usually, I will cover up the few hairs that are showing in my part. (Do not use the mascara for a whole head of grays.) When you do this make sure that you do not have too much mascara on the brush. If you do, then dip it back into the mascara tube until you have a minimal amount. The last thing you want to do is apply a clump of mascara on your hair because this will just make your hair stick together and/or look greasy. If you do put too much just use a brush to comb out the clumps. Of course, you want to keep in mind that if your mascara is black and your hair isn't, you shouldn't use it. Since my roots are dark, I am able to use a dark brown or black mascara to touch up my grays without it being too noticeable. Use your own discretion. You know what will or will not work for you. For all those girls who have lighter hair. There is a website that actually sells hair color touch-ups. They have fill-in powders, touch-up sticks, wands, highlighters etc. Its actually very inexpensive and it does the trick. Here is the site: http://www.coveryourgray.com/

Hope this is helpful!
