3 natural ingredients for softer skin
Sometimes, there's nothing better than staying in on a chilly night and pampering yourself with face mask, a pedicure and a glass of wine.
Thanks to "
EcoBeauty," a book by mother and daughter duo Lauren and Janice Cox, you don't have to go out and buy expensive products. Instead, their book has tons of recipes for scrubs, masks and even shampoo.
Here's a super-easy way to make a mask:
Pumpkin pie mask (from "EcoBeauty")
Ingredients:
>> 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
>> 2 tablespoons vanilla yogurt or sour cream
>> 1 tablespoon
Stir all of the ingredients together until you have a smooth paste. Spoon the mask into a clean container with a tight-fitting lid and store it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for about 2 weeks.
To use, after cleansing, spread 1 tablespoon of the mask over your face and neck, avoiding the delicate areas around your eyes and mouth. Leave it on for 15 minutes, then rinse well with warm water and pat your skin dry.
Yield: 3 1/2 ounces
Personally, I'm excited to try all the hair products, including conditioners and even masks for your hair.
This book seems like the perfect gift or girls' night accessory. You could even create your own gifts with the ideas inside. Check it out ... you may never buy products at the store again.
