DIY: Lemongrass Facial Steam / Sauna

Hello everyone~Well.. are you sure that your pores are clean now? Because dirty and clogged pores cause acne on your face! For the example, like me.. I always use my BB cream to school for about 9 hours everyday, and sometimes I didn't clean my face properly, so I got some new pimples *sigh (≧д≦)
Do you have the same problem?So, today I'll share about how to steam your face (facial sauna) at home! It's super simple, easy and cheap~ (＾～＾)
It cleanses your pores, hydrates your skin, replaces dead skin cells, boosts circulation. And it also promotes skin clarity, and helps to open your clogged pores to remove any dirt and excess oil.


What you'll need are :

1). 5-6 Sticks of lemongrass.

2). 1 Green tea bag.3). Half a pot of water.4). A clean towel.5.) A knife.

Lemongrass is an anti-bacterial which is great for acne-prone skin, normalize overactive oil glands, and it will revitalize your skin too.
and
Green tea is full of anti-oxidants, great anti aging remedy by fight free radicals, fight inflammation, sooth your acne, and give your skin a healthy glow.

So, this facial steam is works especially for normal to oily skin types.
You can also use Rosemary, Peppermint leaves, Lavender blossoms, Chamomile flowers, etc. But they're very hard to find in Indonesia >_<

Let's get started~ ﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ
-----------------
Remove the outside of lemongrass away.



Use your knife to remove the hump.(And repeat the same step to all your lemongrass.)



Slash the lemongrass, but don't let them separate. Got it?



Wash the lemongrass under running water.



Boil the water, then dip the tea bag, and add the lemongrass.

*sorry for bad lighting*
Let it stand for about 10 minutes, and turn off the heat.You can also strain them, but I didn't do it.


Drape a large towel over your head and shoulders.


And steam your face for about 2 - 3 minutes, or until you can't stand the heat anymore.Don't forget to keep your eyes closed!



After that, let it dry~~



And a great way to finish after facial steam is a toner!Use your favorite toner, and I use Etude House Skin Mal:gem in Smoother.



Eewww~~ Can't you see the dirt that clogged my pores in the pic below? ∑(ﾟДﾟ)



This is optional, but I just want to make sure that my pores are closed, so I rub an ice cube all over my face. (＾ε＾)



And you're done~! (^ε^)♪



But please don’t steam your face too much, just do it once a week.

So, have you tried a facial steam before? ^^

DIY: Honey and Sugar Lip Scrub

Hello everyone!! ^^

My upper lip is darker than my lower lip and I really hate it!!

Do you have the same problem like me?

And honestly I've never bought a lip scrub before, until now!! (yeah, as long as I can make my own lip scrub) Because for me, it's just a waste of money. (≧д≦)

So, now I'll share to you about how to make your own natural lip scrub at home.

Of course it's super easy to do, and it's very very cheap because I bet you have these 2 ingredients at your kitchen. (^o^)/

Honey & Sugar

(source)

Sugar is wonderful natural exfoliant and it's great to use especially on sensitive lips because it's very gentle.

and

Honey is a great natural moisturizer, anti-bacterial, and a traditional method for healing chapped & dry lips.

So let's get started~ ﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ

-----------------

Put 1 tablespoon of sugar in a mixing plate/bowl.


Then, pour 1 1/2 tablespoons of honey.For optional, you can also add a little of lemon/lime juice.



Mix mix mix~



Mix well until it forms a gritty paste. And you're done!



Place your lip scrub in any container that you have.For example like me, I put mine in my lens case. Of course the lens case is newww!!I don't really need it now, I bought it because I'm only interested in these pretty roses below lol (≧▽≦)


And fortunately, I can use the left case for my broken lipstick! Yay!!It's very versatile, right? ^^



-----------------

How to use this lip scrub?
Take it with a cotton swab (Q-tip) for hygienic purpose.And apply a small amount of the lip scrub to your clean fingertip.



Rub into your lips gently in a circular motion for about 2 - 3 minutes.Don't rub too hard!


Lol please skip the pic below~It smells so good, so I tried to lick my lips and of course it tastes so good. But please don't try this at home because it would dry your lips.



After that, rinse off with warm water, or you can wipe off with a tissue.But I prefer to rinse off with warm water, just do it before you take a bath in the morning.



And don't forget to apply your favorite lip balm to your lips.



Ugh sorry for different lighting in the pics above >_<

-----------------

And as you can see in the pics below, this lip scrub could lighten my dark upper lip very well. But it couldn't heal my chapped lips only with a single use. So, please repeat once / twice a week.


And you can also apply some honey on your lips before you sleep every night to have a pretty pink lips and to moisturize your dry & chapped lips. (＾ε＾)Hope this post helps you~
A massive thank you for reading this post, have a nice day girls! ^^
See ya~

Beauty Tips: Hands and Feet Care x DIY Chocolate Home Treatment

Hello everyone. ^^

For today, let's talk about how to care your hands and feet in a simple way but with amazing results. (˘⌣˘ʃƪ)

And I'll also share to you about DIY hands and foot chocolate spa at home. Why I chose chocolate? Because I love chocolate, it smells so yummy! And chocolate spa for the face and body is became very popular in Indonesia now. I'd like to try, but since my face is sensitive, I didn't dare to try it, but hey, why I didn't try it onto my hands and feet considering how great the benefits of chocolate for our skin? You might as well do it at home with very very affordable cost, so try this at home, it's super easy! o(^▽^)o

Before that, I WARN you, this post may be extremely long, but hope you enjoy~♥

---

So, we may always take care of our face every day, but sometimes we forget to take care of our hands and feet. Healthy and beautiful hands & feet are also very important for women because they can make a woman look even more beautiful. We can still do that from now on, if you are busy and didn't have time, it's ok, you don't need to take care of your hands & feet every day, but try at least 2 - 3 times a week. (*^o^*)

---

For me, one of the main thing is CLEANLINESS. You should wash your hands & feet when they're dirty, before you eat, before you apply make up, and before you do any activities, washing your hands & feet are very important.

Try to wash with liquid hand soap, it would be better if the soap contains antiseptic. And avoid soaps that contain a high detergent.

---

Try to SCRUB YOUR HANDS AND FEET at least once a week. Scrubs can remove the dead skin which builds up over time and to reveal the soft skin hidden underneath, so scrub is the perfect thing to use as exfoliate and repair dry skin.

And now I'll share to you how to make your own chocolate scrub at home. For scrub, actually you can use sugar / salt, whatever you want, but for this time I use sugar for my hands & foot scrub. It's so easy and simple to do. Let's get started~

Chocolate Hands & Foot Scrub

- 3 tbsp sugar

- 1 tbsp cocoa powder

- 1,5 tbsp olive oil

- 1 drop Vanilla Extract (optional)

How to make : Combine sugar and cocoa powder in a mixing bowl, add the olive oil slowly, and don't forget to drop the vanilla extract, stir and make sure everything is mixed well.

How to use : Grab a small handful of scrub and rub it on your hands and feet in circular motion for approximately 3 minutes, rinse off with running water and pat dry with a clean towel.

*Find the picture of this scrub below*

After exfoliation process, don't forget to moisturize your hands by applying hand cream.

---

Make time to MASSAGE YOUR HANDS AND FEET, at least once in 2 weeks if you're busy.

Massage can improve blood circulation and relieve stress. Your relaxation is required to make your hands and foot massage the most effective. Without that, you'll probably not find the results you want.

What you can do : After washing your hands, apply hand cream/lotion and gently massage it for approximately 5 minutes, and don't forget to enjoy it, you can also do it while listening to the music to be more relaxed.

Instead of using the hand cream, you can use massage oil that you can buy at the market or you can use the olive oil.

---

And make time to MASK YOUR HANDS too. Yeah, mask isn't only for your face. And you can also make a homemade mask for your hands.

Chocolate Hand Mask

- 3 tbsp oatmeal

- 1 tbsp cocoa powder

- 2 tbsp body lotion (I use Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow)

- 1 tbsp honey

- 1 tsp water

How to make : Put the oatmeal and cocoa powder in a mixing bowl, add the body lotion, honey and water. Stir well and make sure the mix starts looking like a paste.

How to use : Apply it on your hands, leave it for 10 - 15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel.

---

At the same time when you wait for the mask in your hands dry, let's SOAK YOUR FEET with chocolate foot soak. The rich chocolate will definitely make you feel more relaxed.

Chocolate Foot Soak

- A large bucket of water (you can also use milk)

- 5 tbsp cocoa powder

- 4 tbsp oatmeal powder

- 4 tbsp salt

How to make : Pour water in a pan and warm it. Make sure the water is not too hot or too cold to touch. After that, pour them back into the bucket. Add cocoa powder, oatmeal and salt. Stir well.

How to use : Place a comfortable chair for yourself, and soak your feet and keep until it begins to cool down. After that, remove your feet and use a clean towel to dry your feet.

It's my mom's feet. I also take care of my mom's hand and feet with this chocolate treatment. As a busy housewife, she didn't have time to care her hands and feet. After that, she told me that her hands and feet feels softer and smoother. Yay! I did it!! (≧▽≦)

** These pampering treatments above is rich in anti-oxidants, and will leave even the roughest hands & feet feeling soft and smooth.

Talked about the hands and feet, of course we shouldn't forget about the nails as well. I'll also share some tips for HEALTHY AND STRONG NAILS to you. (^o^)

1. Avoid nail polish removers with acetone. Acetone can be drying your nails and your skin.

2. To moisturize your nails, you can apply petroleum jelly / olive oil onto your cuticles and the skin around your nails before you go to bed every night or whenever yor nails feel dry.

3. Always wear a rubber gloves whenever you do your houseworks. Washing dishes, washing clothes, gardening, scrubbing the bathroom, etc. For extra moisturizing, you can apply hand cream before you putting on the rubber gloves.

4. Eat boiled eggs and drink milk as often as possible. They're very useful to make your nails stronger.

5. Weak / break-prone nails? Use garlic! Yes, GARLIC!! Apply some finely chopped garlic onto your nails. I know it smells so bad but it'll strengthens your nails. I knew about this from my mum & from Michelle Phan lol. And I heard that it also helps your nails to grow faster.

6. If you want to whiten your nails (naturally), you can use lemon / baking soda / whitening toothpaste. But unfortunately, they can dry out your skin and nails, so make sure to apply hand cream and oil on your cuticles after completing this process.

But if you want to whiten your nails with unnatural way, so many beauty products are offered for this purpose, and there are a few products that can actually whiten without drying your nails and skin around your nails, for the example like Talika Instant Manicure. I'll review about that product as soon as I can, just stay tuned~

Well.. I hope some of my tips above will helps all of you. So let's start to taking care of our hands and feet from now on. ﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ
