Do it {for} Yourself Beauty

{One&Only Palmilla spa}

Some beauty treatments are best left in the hands of the experts. Others I like to try for myself at home, especially after a long winter that leaves you with dry skin. I came across an article this weekend that featured a handful of recipes for do it at home beauty treatments. The appearance of bright flowers & greenery outside has made me long for some "green" homemade beauty. Consider this a way to give back to the environment & recycle some products you have in your home while saying "no" to chemicals and parabens.

Recipe for: Brightening Yogurt Face Mask

Ingredients:

1 cup plain Yogurt {greek yogurts like Fage work well}
1 tablespoon tumeric powder

Cleanse face, remove makeup & pat dry. Combine ingredients in a small bowl & using a makeup brush, apply to face, neck, & chest area. Leave on for 5-10 minutes & rinse with warm water.
