♥ Tomato Blemish Remedy

  •  1 Tomato (ripe, chopped)
  • 1 tsp. Lemon Juice
(fresh)
  • 1 tbsp. Oat Flour (or ground rolled oats)

Blend ingredients until combined in a paste. Apply to blemished skin, making sure mixture is thick enough to stay in place. Leave on for 10 minutes. Remove with damp washcloth.

♥ Cucumber Eye Gel

  • 1/4 Cucumber
 (large)
  • 1 oz. Aloe Vera Gel (fresh)

Puree cucumber in a blender, leaving a little pulp. Strain mixture into a glass bowl until you have at least 2 oz. of puree. Add aloe + mix gently. After cleansing face, apply to under eye area with a cotton ball. Refrigerate + use within a few days.

 ♥ Strawberry Face + Body Scrub

  • 2 Strawberries 
(pureed)
  • 2 tbsp. of Olive Oil
  • 1 Vitamin E capsule (pierced)
  • 2 tbsp. of Sugar

Mix + apply.

♥ Watermelon Toner

  • 2 tbsps. Watermelon Juice
 (fresh)
  • 1 tbsp. Vodka
  • 2 tbsps. Witch Hazel
  • 2 tbsps. Distilled Water

Strain watermelon juice to get rid of seeds + fruit pieces. Combine ingredients in small bowl + stir well. Pour into clean container with tight-fitting lid. Pour a small amount on a clean cotton pad + apply to face. Store in fridge between uses to retain freshness for approximately one week.

♥ Coconut + Lime Hair + Scalp Treatment

  • 4 tbsp. Coconut Oil
  • 2 tbsp. Lime Juice
  • 1 tbsp. Grapefruit Juice
  • Basting Brush or Cotton Balls
  • Hair Brush

Mix + apply to dry hair using a basting brush or cotton ball. Starting at top, place the brush on the scalp, while pressing down, follow through to ends. This will stimulate circulation + loosen any dry skin scales. Work in sections covering entire scalp. Massage + leave on for 20 minutes. Shampoo + condition as usual.
