Girl’s Night In

I’ve given a lot of different beauty tips and tricks to try over the past few weeks. It’s even hard for me to keep them straight there are so many! For me, I need a list of one thing I can do for my face, hair, skin, nails, etc. all in one night. So, I thought I would take the time to map out for each of us the perfect way to spend a relaxing and soothing night of beauty. And no, ladies, you don’t have to give up your weekend nights; you can do this on a weeknight!

1. Start with your hair. To help moisturize your hair and heal damage, mix 1 tsp honey, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1 egg yolk. Massage this mixture into your hair and leave for 30 minutes.
2. While your hair is sitting, start your facial. First, get some water heating and then cleanse your face. I recommend mixing 1 tbsp each of honey, olive oil, and sugar to use as a cleanser. It’s something different, and is great for your skin. After you cleanse your face, exfoliate. When your water is boiling, steam your face for about 20 minutes.
3. During this 20 minutes is a great time to also be doing your nails. Let them soak in olive oil while you are steaming your face. This helps nail and healthy and strong.
4. When the 20 minutes is up, use toner on your face to get rid of toxins and dead skin. Now, it’s time for a mask. Try mixing 2 egg whites with a few drops of lemon juice and applying it to your face. This will draw out any remaining impurities in your pores. Let this dry for about 5 minutes and then rinse it off. Use toner on your face again and then moisturize.
5. Now you can shampoo your hair to get out the egg mixture.
6. Once this is done, it’s time for a soothing bath. Add 3 cups of powdered milk and ½ cup honey to a running bath and enjoy! When you finish your bath, be sure to use body lotion to moisturize your skin. You can try using olive oil if you like, it’s a great moisturizer.
7. That about wraps up your night. Just as an added bonus, when you brush your teeth before going to bed, put some baking soda on the brush before your paste. Over time, this will whiten your teeth.

I hope you enjoy your relaxing night of beauty. Remember to do something like this often enough to keep you feeling and looking beautiful!
