Beauty D.I.Y: Yogurt conditioning hair mask

Hello ~

Yes, I am able to post more often, I hope I can keep doing it :) Today's post was supposed to be up before reviewing Lucid by Adrienne Stoltz, Ron Bass, but I didn't have time to edit the pictures, but I finished editing them now so here is the review :)



D.I.Y Yogurt conditioning hair mask:


Things you'll need:

  • oil - I used almond oil (don't use if you have oily hair)
  • yogurt
  • egg
  • spoon
How to:

 1. open the yogurt, hopefully you'll be smarter than me, and shake it before you open it, because it'll be easier for you to mix.
2. add the egg
3. add three spoons of almond oil (or any oil you like) *Skip this step if you have oily hair.
4. mix mix mix
5. keep mixing until it becomes white
6. and done :)


How to apply:
1. wash your hair with shampoo, and towel dry it.
2. section your hair and apply it the same way you would apply hair dye.
3. cover your head with shower cap/plastic bag, then wrap a hot towel around your head.
4. leave it on your hair for 30 minute to 1 hour.
5. wash your hair with water.

Pros: 
- moisturize your hair.
- make it shine.

Cons: 
 - smells like infants vomit.(but it is mild)
 - can get a bit messy when you apply.
 - do not wash it out with hot/warm water, because I did and I got omelette on my hair !!

Final verdict: really easy and affordable, but the smell disturbs me (I have a sensitive nose), but I'll use it again in the future when my hair becomes dead.

hope you try it :)

MEANS AVAILABLE TO REPLACE COSMETICS

Any modern woman can't live without beauty products. But if you still want to look good and stay young without using store bought products (that contains a lot of chemicals), here is some tips :



Ice . It makes your skin supple. Take a few ice cubes, put them in a thin cloth. 
Begin massaging from chest, in circular motion, avoiding the nipples. Do this procedure every evening - this will prevent the formation of stretch marks and improve blood circulation ... 

Tea . This usual and customary drink contains polyphenols, which have anti-aging effect. To ensure that your skin has supple and healthy color, grab a cold brew, mix it with beaten egg whites. Put a lot on the face, and after 10 minutes wash it off with warm water. 

Salt . Usual fine grained salt will help your feet skin to soften. Add half a cup of fine salt in a basin of warm water, soak your feet in the solution. After the procedure, rinse your feet with warm water and rub it off with a towel. A coarse salt helps to remove dead skin from the feet and heels. Rub coarse salt on problem areas using a damp sponge, then your feet soak for five minutes. After the procedure, apply moisturizer. 

yeast . It prevents acne and reduce inflammation. couple of teaspoons of yeast, mixed with warm milk,  and applied to the face makes a good facial mask. Allow mask to dry and then wash it off with warm water. 

Spoons . They help eliminate unnecessary and dark circles under the eyes. Put two spoons in the freezer for a few hours. Take them and apply to eyelids for a minute. After the procedure, gently massage the skin around the eyes.
