Learn to Make or Purchase a Full-Face Mask for Environmental Hazards or Defense:
Purchasing a Professional Gas Mask or making my own (from a 2 or 3-liter plastic soda bottle or full underwater snorkel mask) is a tool worth having to filter the air in an emergency situation or protect against projectiles. Recently, while I was perusing the web, I ran across an advertisement for a Full Face Snorkel Mask used for underwater swimming/diving/snorkeling. Now, at the risk of having many think that I have gone "over the top", my prepper instincts kicked in when I first saw this thing. As a matter of fact, I did not even think of the water when I saw it; it seemed like the perfect make-shift gas or pandemic filter mask. It looked like a gas mask except that it had this thing (the snorkel) sticking out of the top. Just like a conventional underwater snorkel, the mask's snorkel controls the intake and exhale of air, but the mask covers the entire face, protecting the eyes, nose and mouth and allowing unrestricted breathing from the nose and/or mouth. A rubber gasket, around the edge of the mask, seals the face inside, keeping water out, providing a water-free-eyes view of the diving experience. Obviously, when I blocked the snorkel hole, I could not breathe; duh . . . just checking. In a hypothetical gas/pandemic mask scenario, the snorkel, or only the hole at the top of the mask where the snorkel attaches (remove to reduce attracting attention), could be covered with a surgical mask [material], or 2 surgical masks with activated carbon (charcoal) sandwiched between them, to provide a limited use full-face, air-filtering mask. When I tried this, airflow was slightly restricted but I was able to breathe. Someone with claustrophobia anxiety disorder could have more serious breathing problems. Sorry, I did not take it out for a test drive to see if it works as a gas mask. I do not have any tear gas and my fires, usually, produce little smoke, but I did confirm that it does what it is intended to do under water; a very cool experience. I found these, used with very minor wear, on eBay for less than $25 each (free shipping, of course). They can also be imported from Asia, new, for around $35 each. New, retail price is $45 and up depending on the retailer. There are at least two sizes so be mindful of that if you decide to purchase. Since they were marked as "used", I washed them with antibacterial soap and wipes, inside and out, before use but I would have done that even if they were new. So, if a full-fledged gas mask is not in your budget, and you do not want to build one from a 2-liter soda bottle, consider a Full Face Snorkel Mask. In a true pandemic situation, all used protection equipment should be destroyed so this might not be a cost-effective use of the product but in a true emergency, safety is paramount to cost. Here are some YouTube videos on DIY masks from bottles. Emergency planning is mostly about education and developing a think-outside-the-box view of what most would consider obvious. So, while you may not go rushing out to buy one of these for the purpose mentioned here, you now have a concept that an "obvious" snorkel mask might be a tool to consider for another purpose in an emergency situation. As with all tools and equipment, test before it is actually necessary to use them.

How To Take Pore Care This Monsoon
Tumblr media
Monsoons might sound cooling for the skin but what about those open pores? No doubt, they are a relief after long months of scorching heat, but the air is packed with bacteria, dirt, and grime that unfortunately leads to pores, blackheads, acne, and whatnot. To keep your skin healthy, glowing, and blemish-free, our following guide promises to keep the pores at bay. Try these out.
Tip 1: Double Cleansing Is Super Effective
You have been hearing about double cleansing for a while now. Well, it might be one of the best things you can do for your enlarged pores. A Korean skincare centerpiece, the method of double cleansing is an elaborate two-step face-cleansing ritual. It involves the use of an oil-based cleanser followed up by a water-based variant to keep the face fresh and clean. A raved-about K-beauty skincare technique, it holistically targets overall skin clearing and is specifically a must-try for clearing out sebum build-up from clogged pores.
Tip 2: Follow A Bi-Weekly Exfoliating Routine
We cannot stress enough on this. Monsoons can help those dead skin cells make merry inside your pores. Fungal infections and face eruptions can be a common sight if rainwater gets mixed with your face products. Exfoliate twice a week at least, to keep a check on the impurities that stretch up pores and worse, lead to a zit apocalypse. A boon for large, congested pores, the latest skincare scoop reveals throwing some AHA in your exfoliation routine will bear you fruitful results. Don’t believe us? Try out our Citrus Got Real Brightening Peel to notice a marked difference in your skin. A unique exfoliation peel formulated with mandelic acid, a high-performing AHA, this skincare marvel seeps deep into your skin to extract underlying gunk. It deep cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates all at one go to minimize pores and keep them unclogged.
Tip 3: Never Skip Toner
Nothing can beat a comprehensive CTM routine, ever. So if you have been careless enough using toners, please avoid repeating this costly mistake. Using a toner not only balances your skin’s pH levels but also evens out rough skin textures. And what do we mean by it? Large, visible pores of course. This monsoon, take a break from your usual essences and DIY a green tea toner by yourself. Witch hazel is also a viable astringent that typically targets pore minimization and helps to shrink glaring pores.
Tip 4: Load Up On Active Ingredients
We are letting out a ninja technique on how to keep your pores clean this monsoon. Stock up on active ingredients, babies! Vitamin C and retinol top our suggestions since both are excellent pore cleansers and effectively tackle the issue of open pores. Looking for a sweet something that works in tandem? Our Citrus Got Real Retinol Brightening Serum might become the blue-eyed boy of your skincare routine! A pore control genius, it combines the power of both vitamin C and retinol through orange peel oil that zeroes down on the issue of large pores. The best part? It’s feather-light, heals acne, and evens out the skin!
Tip 5: Try Clay Masking
Look, it’s technically an impossible feat to erase or vanish pores. But what if we told you about something that can tighten, clean, and shrivel your pore care? If you are on the lookout for a similar skincare prodigy our Power Clay Mask – 02 Pore Cleansing affirms all that we just said. A fuss-free clay and easy clay mask, this portable baby detoxifies your skin with its kaolin clay blend, green tea, and charcoal extracts that suck out impurities from deep within. Enriched with watermelon fruit extracts, it refines your pores and refreshes your skin for a bright, even skin texture.

Self Care 101 🦋
Tumblr media
In this post I’ll be outlining my current routines as they relate to self care. I’ll cover everything from head to toe making sure not to skip your spirit. You cannot be a girl of ANYONE’S dreams if you aren’t taking care of the most important person in your world: you.
mornings:
wash face with gentle cleanser from curology, tone with organic Mamonde rose water and finish with rich moisturizer and spf30
brush teeth with activated charcoal toothpaste by Crest and baking soda for whitening and gum clarity
take vitamins : woman’s one a day, hair skin nails, biotin, vitamin c
drink glass of water then a cup of tea
black tea, raw cane sugar, a lemon slice, ginger
good for energy, immune function, and detox
showers:
this may sound so extra (😅), but depending on my hairstyle, I sometimes like to let the shower run for about five minutes with the door closed to create a sauna effect. this is especially if I have a mask on my hair.
my showers usually are about 20-30 minutes
I have a back brush, pink exfoliating gloves, a loofah, and tree hut body scrubs and I use them ALL.
I wash first with my dove beauty bar to assure clean skin before washing with EITHER my OGX Shea So Soft body wash or Dove Renewing Peony and Rose Oil body wash to add scent or silkiness to my skin.
Tumblr media
hair removal:
I haven’t yet mastered the art of waxing myself so I’m still riding the shave wave. *when I do I’ll make a post 4 that*
I exfoliate throughly before AND after shaving
I shave my entire body using Tree Hut Shaving Oil and a nice conditioner I’m not using. This leaves my skin super soft and silky and helps the razor to glide without skipping. I use Gillette Venus. no less than five blades, anything less is ASKING for nicks and a hard time.
Tumblr media
when I don’t feel like shaving, I use Nair. use at your own risk. yes, I Nair my ENTIRE BODY. only leaving it on for about 7 minutes I rinse in WARM (not hot) water and exfoliate afterwards. it is imperative to moisturize after to avoid irritation. however, Nair is much easier to do than shaving and seems to last an inkling longer.
after shaving, once a month, I pull out my KENZZI. it’s an IPL device and it has helped to slow the growth of my hair. it’s noticeable for us long, thick haired chicks. I use the second to lowest setting as a melanated babe, as the higher settings could burn me.
I know many endorse the hair on women movement and I can understand it. But I personally love my skin silky, hairless, and smooth.
nights:
after eating dinner, I wash my face and apply the tiniest bit of glycolic serum and my curology night cream. my skin has been the best it’s been in a few years. then I brush my teeth and rinse with peroxide.
every four days I give myself a facial
my favorite face masks:
The Ordinary Salicylic Acid mask
The Ordinary AHA + BHA mask
all Tony Moly sheet masks *luvvvvv those*
GLAMGLOW SUPERMUD clearing treatment *fav*
Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme mask
Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel mask
Peter Thomas Roth Irish Moor Mud mask
Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Gel mask
ORIGINS Clear Improvement mask
An at home honey and aloe mask
I apply a rich facial moisturizer and get to bed.
I then write in my planner my new plans and what I did that day if I hadn’t already. then after that I script and make mood boards in my diary. then I read a little. currently reading: Making Faces by Kevyn Aucoin, and Live Like a hot Chick by Jodi Lipper.
Tumblr media
emotions:
I talk to my grandmother about my feelings, she helps me sort things out. please try to find one person you trust to talk to, my messages are always open. 💓 I often overthink. I suffer from anxiety and clinical depression. sometimes these things make me FEEL limited. these experiences wax and wane. I remind myself that the darkness is temporary.
I write in my diary what I feel and track my emotions for potential patterns. I don’t manufacture or sugar coat my feelings, I just talk.
Tumblr media
sometimes you need a good cry. let it out. clean your slate. you’ll always feel better, sometimes great after a hard, deep sobbing cry.
I try to get out of the house and get some sunlight. it helps brighten my mood sometimes.
baths:
LOVE taking baths I don’t care what the status quo is about dirt. just rinse off. I love wrapping my hair up and soaking in warm-hot water.
first I run the water. as it’s running I add my bubble bath, then body wash, then my Shea Moisture fragrant coconut oil. it smells soooo good, literally yummy. then I inevitably scream from dipping my toe in the hot water. finally I get in, scrub down my body, emphasis on feet. then I wash, and just relax. I’ve even fallen asleep in the tub once, I was so zen.
careful not to soak too long or overdo it with your products. synthetic materials lingering in your lady bits for too long cause cause infections like bv or uti
some women add tea tree oil, acv, or even Aztec clay to their baths for wellness purposes. I love adding essential oils to my baths to relax and the natural scent is just great 🥺
when I get out I always put something that feels lush and soft on. *invest in super soft, comfy bath towels, they’ll make you feel so luxurious and soft after a nice relaxing bath*
flower:
the yoni is something sensitive that needs to be taken care of thoroughly, and differently than the rest of your body. it’s not recommended to use soaps down there, it can unbalance things and make you itch. also make you prone to infection. this is why I use clear warm water to clean. if I use soap it’s a sensitive, gentle formula. don’t ever try to clean the cavity. she’s a self cleaning vessel.
to shave, I trim my hair down as close as possible and use a FIVE BLADE razor with conditioner and take my time. making sure not to pass a spot twice, I apply moderate pressure and move slowly. when finished I rinse and scrub gently. I PAT not rub dry. to finish off I apply TendSkin, and salicylic acid to avoid ingrowns. once that’s soaked in I apply shea butter. very soft and pretty 🌸
⚠️ DO NOT PUT ON TIGHT PANTIES OR RIGHT PANTS AFTER SHAVING. it restricts the hairs and causes irritation and ingrowns. throw on some comfy loose shorts for a while, let it breathe
dietary needs:
drink plenty of water
cranberry juice
vitamin c
minimal red meat
probiotics
at home vagacial for the high maintenance girlies:
*make any necessary extractions with pointed and slanted tweezers *
scrub: 
brown sugar, tea tree oil, a little shea butter
exfoliating and anti inflammatory
mask:
baking soda, fresh lemon juice, vitamin e oil, papaya juice, gelatin
fixes discoloration and brightens the skin while softening
moisturize:
aloe vera gel, rose hip seed oil
Tumblr media
smelling sweet:
ah yes, my favorite part. I love fragrance so much. I love to smell like you could literally break off a piece of me and eat it.
I find that using fragrant washes and oils make your scent more strong and help it linger. I already mentioned the body washes I use. the tree hut scrubs I use smell amazing also. I alike to add essential oils and man made scents like strawberry and chocolate to my Shea Moisture oil (so yummy).
I also use a fragrant lotion, eau de parfum, and fragrance mist.
here’s a list of some of my favorites:
perfumes:
jimmy choo fever
coach floral blush
yves saint laurent mon paris
victoria’s secret bombshell
victoria’s secret scandalous
valentino
fragrance mists:
victoria’s secret velvet petals, pure seduction, warm and cozy
bath and body works a thousand wishes, fiji pineapple palm, warm vanilla sugar, black raspberry vanilla
oils:
coconut
sweet almond
peppermint
chocolate scented essential oil
strawberry scented essential oil
orange
grapefruit
eucalyptus
sweetest combo ever:
vanilla extract, coconut oil, shea butter, and your favorite perfume. you’ll be smelling like a warm cupcake with extra sprinkles and icing 🧁
layering:
oil, lotion, eau de parfum, mist
pulse points:
inside elbows and knees, in between thighs, inner arms, behind ears, back of neck, ankles
Tumblr media
hair:
it’s super important to keep your hair moisturized. quenched tresses move, grow, shine and bounce. dry hair is limp, lackluster, and extremely fragile
my fav diy deep conditioner:
a banana, half an avocado, three spoons of honey, an egg, a spoonful of mayo, a spoonful of coconut, olive, and castor oil each
strength from egg, avocado, mayo and olive oil
moisture from avocado and honey
cover damp CLEAN hair and scalp in mixture and cover with a plastic bag, then towel for an hour, rinse thoroughly, and seal in moisture
fav hair products:
castor oil
fusionplex conditioner and mask
Aussie conditioner
wella goji berry mask
coconut oil
style booster edge control
helpful tips:
when shampooing, concentrate on the scalp and wash thoroughly twice, as the suds will naturally cleanse your stands without drying and stripping them
rinse hair with apple cider vinegar every now and then. it restores your ph balance, smooths the cuticle, clarifies the strands, and adds shine
always add oil and leave ins to DAMP hair, never dry; this will ensure you’re sealing in moisture
try to use smooth fabrics to dry your hair, bath towels encourage frizz and breakage
hands and feet:
Tumblr media
and last but not least, let’s cover manicuring and pedicuring.
it’s super important to make sure your nails are either DONE or filed, shaped, and smooth. at home maintenance is super easy. make a point to scrub your hands and feet well when bathing. make sure to stay on top of your cuticles by trimming or pushing them back. I like the look that pushing them gives. I use an orangewood stick, metal pusher and cuticle softener to make the process super easy and safe. after I’m done I add my pineapple scented cuticle oil. I do this on my fingers and toes.
invest in a rasp and pumice stone for your feet and use these gently every two weeks after soaking them in warm foot salts. rough usage can cause cuts and irritation. in between treatments keep your feet soft by slathering them in a moisturizing foot cream, cocoa/shea butter then oil to seal it all in. buy some soft thick aloe infused socks and wear them to sleep. you’ll thank me 😉

Tumblr media
well, that’s all I’ve got. I truly hope you enjoyed my post! it’s always fun sharing my advice with you all. any feedback is appreciated and question is welcomed ♡

7 Amazing Tips for Summer-ready skin
When the weather warms up, we all want to uncover a bit more of our skin.
Even if you're looking forward to ditching the warm overalls in favor of crop tops and skirts, we can all cop to a little sun-induced anxiety – even if we decide to bare all, would our skin be summer-ready?
This year, you won't have to think about it; just pursue our top tips and you'll have dazzling, sun-kissed skin all summer long.
Summer skin care routine for dry skin
Summers hit your skin every year. The scorching sun, ozone, humidity, and other factors remove its normal radiance and, in some cases, invite infections. But fret not, here are easy-peasy strategies you should try this season to stop all of these hassles and keep your skin glowing like it should.
1) Exfoliate
You must exfoliate your skin regularly to make it look lighter. This extracts the dead tissue, which can dull your skin tone if left unchecked. Also, you'd give your skin a new look and feel while removing toxic parabens by investing in an exfoliating scrub utilizing natural ingredients.
Tip: Use repetitive movements to apply the exfoliating scrub throughout your face and body. Doing this at least 2 times a week will hold your skin in high quality during the season, preventing your pores from being obstructed by sun screen as well.  
2) Moisturize
An additional advantage of a successful exfoliation regimen is that the skin becomes ready for effective moisturizing. This is ideal in the summer, because your skin needs all the hydration it can get to help combat sunburns. You will add natural softness to your skin by quenching your parched skin with moisturizers, particularly after exfoliation. In addition, moisturizing the skin gives the tan removal an additional advantage.  
3) Shave and Shower, correctly
No one likes stinging sunburns, so you can mitigate the sunburn pain by constantly replacing your shaving blades. It is also a smart thing to shorten the shaving duration. You see, long shaves using steaming hot water dry the skin, you can instead use lukewarm or cool water to close the pores while soothing your skin.
4) Always protect from the sun
You may like the summer tan, but it would be foolish to take no care against the sun's harsh UV rays.  After all, nobody feels attractive with sunburnt skin, just make sure you cover yourself well before stepping out in the sun.
Although you might still get some sunburns despite all the preparations in the world you undertake. However, you need not suffer – add refreshing gels to calm your affected red patches of skin.  Furthermore, products that use aloe vera's natural strength appear to perform their healing quicker.
5) Facials
Believe us, those women who always appear to have flawless skin are not blessed with a fantastic skin since birth. It takes long-term commitment on your part to flaunt apparently faultless skin all year.
Spa's facial bookings give your skin a regular deep cleansing that unclogs the pores and removes defects. However, the dilemma is that daily visits to the spa or clinic are both time-taking and expensive.
So, why not be a facialist on your own?
Proper home facials not only rejuvenate your skin but also are a must if you plan on tan-removal as an element of your beauty routine.  
6) Pedicure
Often you forget, but keeping your toes in top shape is critical.
Face it, you would have stuffed your bad feet more than you should've in boots all season, but you'd just need a bit of care until they are safe from the scorching summer heat.  
Tip – File your feet's rough skin, then lather with a lotion until you sit your feet into cotton socks overnight as a perfect DIY pedicure for your feet. This is a sure-fire way to get your feet in top shape for the summer.
7) Eat and drink well
The look of your skin reflects the way you handle your body very well. Maintaining a healthy diet can lead to better skin visibly.
In order to preserve the necessary moisture balance for your body, aim to drink 8 glasses of water a day – it will maintain a healthy, detoxified skin. The idea to load luscious fruits and veggies which moisturize and feed your skin from within is also a good one.
Consider changing your Face Wash and Face Scrub.  
Use a Refreshing Toner.  
Change Your Moisturizer.
Exfoliate Routinely for Smoother Skin.  
Wear Sunscreen before stepping out.  
Include Antioxidants in Your Facial Skin Care Routine.  
Keep Your Skin Hydrated.  
Use minimal, chemicals-laden Makeup.

It is a powerful anti-inflammatory antioxidant that can also help relieve depression and arthritis symptoms.
Saffron includes an amazing array of antioxidant plant compounds – organic molecules that shield you from oxidative stress and free radicals.
Notable antioxidants found in saffron are: crocin, crocetin, saffron and kaempferol.

The 8 Best Aloe Vera Face Masks For Glowing Skin
Aloe vera has long been a standby ingredient to deal with sunburns and other irritation, but because it's packed full of vitamins and high in water content, it's also great for adding glow to your skin. Add to that antibacterial and antiseptic properties to unclog pores and tackle acne, and enzymes that help with hyperpigmentation, and you’ve got a true multitasker. No matter what you'd like to target in your routine, the best aloe vera face masks for glowing skin will help you reach your skin-care goals.
However, since aloe has become such a buzzy ingredient, it is frequently coupled in less-than-ideal formulations including ones with drying alcohols and irritation-causing dyes. Those experiencing redness should consider a recipe with calming ingredients like chamomile and cucumber, while those with oily skin or clogged pores should consider choosing clay as a costar. And for those who've done the research to make their own masks at home, aloe is a fantastic base ingredient because its vitamins and minerals, including magnesium and zinc, improve skin in so many different ways.
Whether you're looking to this desert plant for moisture or to provide a dose of zit-busting power, here are the best aloe vera masks for all of your needs.
1. The Overall Best Aloe Vera Mask For Glowing Skin
Bliss Triple Oxygen Self-Activating Facial Mask, 1.7 Fl. Oz.
See On Amazon
While aloe vera does a lot of work, Bliss has boosted its glow-giving powers with brightening vitamins C and E, calming green tea extract, moisturizing rice bran, and revitalizing oxygen. And mask in the comfort of knowing that this product doesn't include parabens, phthalates, or sulfates, and is cruelty-free to boot. However, while the bubbling formula is a fun treat, it might be too intense for those with, particularly sensitive skin.
2. The Best Aloe Mask For Redness And Puffiness
Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask, 5 Fl. Oz.

Anti-inflammatory cucumber is a perfect partner for aloe for those struggling with redness and irritation. Add the silky gel texture, brightening fruit extracts, and hydrating glycerin, and you have a great combo for skin that could use a little relief from the elements. "This product is nearly a miracle! Reduces inflammation and redness like nothing else I've used before," says one customer with sensitive skin. Others found it effective and gentle enough to use under the eyes to get rid of puffiness.
3. The Best Aloe Mud Mask For Oily Or Congested Skin
Hebei Green Tea Matcha Mud Mask, 3.5 Fl. Oz.

One of the most impressive traits of aloe is that it provides hydration without being greasy, something those with oily skin is sure to enjoy. Mud masks are a great option for soaking up excess oils and helping dislodge clogged pores, and this formulation featuring matcha's powerful revitalizing abilities will help thoroughly clean skin and make your skin glow without looking like an oil slick. "It works great on me for cleaning and rejuvenation use," one Amazon reviewer reports. Others noted the pleasant smell of tea, but since there is a large dose of matcha in the jar, be careful to remove it after the instructed five or 10 minutes, some users said they noticed a little staining.
4. The Best Aloe Sleep Mask For Dry Skin
Innisfree Aloe Revital Sleeping Pack, 3.4 Fl. Oz.
See On Amazon
This rich, creamy mask that can be used overnight will provide plenty of moisture to thirsty skin. With more than 75 percent aloe vera from Jeju Island in South Korea, a dose of antioxidant-rich madecassoside, and plant extracts, it's definitely not skimping on beneficial ingredients. "My skin is acne-prone but tends to get dehydrated. . . . This product [is] perfect for the days when your skin could use a little extra love and care," says one reviewer. While most reported no irritation after use, the ingredients include a small number of silicones so this might not be the top choice for those avoiding them.
5. The Best Aloe Vera Sheet Mask For Glowing Skin
My Beauty Diary Aloe Vera Mask (10-Pack)
See On Amazon
It's hard to beat the convenience of a sheet mask, and My Beauty Diary's ones are a cult-favorite for good reason. This aloe-based formula is boosted with mulberry, kiwi, and bearberry leaf extracts to calm, soothe, and brighten even more. "Very soft, hydrated but not oily," one customer who'd recommend the product says. And while some other brands can get pricey very quickly, this set of 10 comes out to less than $2 each.
6. The Best Celebrity-Favorite Splurge
Joanna Vargas Euphoria Face Mask (5-Pack)
See On Amazon

Another writes: "The ingredients in this mask are very soothing. They helped to calm my redness and didn't cause any new irritation."
7. The Best Aloe Mask For Under Eyes
Safina Aloe Vera Collagen Eye Patches (10-Pack)
See On Amazon
The maker of these hydrogel patches with aloe and bamboo charcoal says they will help lighten dark circles, add shine, and reduce puffiness. While the one to eight hours recommended wear time is a bit of a commitment, Amazon reviewers seem happy with the results, giving the line a 4.6-star overall rating. For even more cooling action, consider storing these in the fridge.
8. A Value-Size Bottle Of Aloe Gel For DIY Masks
Seven Minerals Aloe Vera Gel, 12 Fl. Oz
See On Amazon
Aloe's multitasking abilities make it a fantastic base for homemade masks. Plus, it's great to keep on hand in case of sunburns or if your existing lotions and masks need a little something extra.
This value-size bottle of aloe vera gel is almost entirely pure, and doesn't use drying alcohol as a stabilizer or preservative like some other brands — no wonder it's a best-seller on Amazon with a 4.6 rating after more than 3,000 reviews. However, a few customers reported having reactions to the product, so patch test first, especially if your skin is sensitive.

The 13 Best Ingredients for Natural Skin Care
Pamper your body without spending a fortune thanks to these natural skin care ingredients found right in your kitchen.
Read on to discover how you can indulge in DIY spa sessions using foods and oils filled with nutrients and minerals that help support healthy skin, hair, and nails. By nourishing your body with real foods, you can save money and avoid harsh chemicals found in commercial body care products.
1. Magnesium Oil
Magnesium is one of the most abundant minerals in our bodies, where it is responsible for over 300 enzyme reactions. It helps regulate blood pressure, improve sleep, and boost immunity, to name just a few benefits. (1, 2, 3)
Unfortunately, due to the depletion of our soils from over-farming, many foods don’t contain as much magnesium as they used to. This makes it easy to become deficient in this important nutrient, especially if you aren’t eating a variety of plants and magnesium-rich foods.
This is where magnesium oil comes in. Applying magnesium in the form of a topical oil can help restore magnesium levels faster than consuming it orally, so your body can experience its zen-promoting benefits sooner rather than later. (4)
How to Use Magnesium Oil
Magnesium oil sprays and lotions are the best way to apply magnesium topically. Indulge yourself following a shower or hot bath by rubbing the oil into your skin. It might tingle at first, but the sensation quickly fades.
2. Epsom Salt
Drawing a bath with Epsom salt is another great way to increase your magnesium levels in order to ease stress, reduce anxiety, and give your nervous system a rest. (5) As a bonus, studies also show that soaking in magnesium-rich baths improves skin hydration, skin roughness, and skin redness. (6)
How to Pamper Your Body with Epsom Salt
Draw a hot bath a few times a week (or even every day if you want!). Add 2 cups of Epsom salt and swish them around until they’re dissolved. Soak for at least 15 minutes to enjoy the calming benefits.
3. Avocados
Not only do the healthy fats and nutrients in avocado help nourish your body from the inside, they can also lend your skin some serious moisture. Avocados are rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce signs of aging, protects skin from sun damage, and helps keep skin supple by boosting collagen. (7)
How to Use Avocado
Mash up some avocado into a guacamole-like consistency (yes, you can eat some) and slather on your face for a quick, no-fuss face mask. Leave the mask on for 10 to 15 minutes.
If you want to add a few more natural skin care benefits to your mask, combine with a tablespoon of raw honey and a teaspoon of turmeric powder. Let sit for 15 minutes, then rinse off.
4. Activated Charcoal
Activated charcoal is a pure form of charcoal that has the ability to absorb toxins and impurities, both from inside your body and on your skin. (8) Note: it’s not your barbecue charcoal. Like clay, activated charcoal can help pull out dirt and oil that’s stuck in your pores, causing irritation.
Activated charcoal can also help remove stains from your teeth, effectively acting as a natural teeth whitener.
How to Use Activated Charcoal
As a face mask to clear pores: Mix 1 teaspoon of activated charcoal powder with 1/2 teaspoon raw honey and 1/2 teaspoon water. Apply to you face, avoiding your delicate eye area, and let dry for 10 minutes. Wash off with warm water.
As a teeth whitening paste: Wet your toothbrush, place 1/2 teaspoon of activated charcoal powder on it, and brush your teeth. Let the paste sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then wash out your mouth.
5. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar has been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments, from digestive issues to acne. It is naturally antibacterial while also containing beneficial enzymes and acids that nourish skin and reduce acne-causing bacteria. (9)
How to Use Apple Cider Vinegar
Dilute apple cider vinegar in water and use as a natural face toner and acne treatment.
Pour diluted apple cider vinegar on your scalp after shampooing as a natural conditioning and dandruff treatment.
Soak your feet in diluted apple cider vinegar to soften calluses.
Add apple cider vinegar to a bath to soften and nourish skin.
6. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a potent antibacterial and antifungal. This powerful oil contains healthy, medium-chain fatty acids that moisturize and protect skin and hair. (10, 11)
How to Use Coconut Oil
Use coconut oil as a full-body moisturizer after you shower. To add a calming aroma, add a drop of sweet orange essential oil or peppermint oil.
Alternatively, you can use coconut oil as a face moisturizer to help fight wrinkles and acne. The healthy fats in coconut oil lock in moisture in your skin, while the antibacterial properties combat acne.
7. Vitamin E Oil
Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant vitamin that fights free radical damage. (12) Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage our DNA, resulting in signs of aging and disease. On any given day, we are exposed to and generate a great deal of free radicals from unhealthy diets, environmental pollution, and even stress. Consuming vitamin E-rich foods and applying the oil topically can help reduce and prevent damage.
How to Use Vitamin E Oil
To nourish your skin, apply vitamin E oil directly, or add several drops to your face and body moisturizer (or add it to coconut oil as a DIY moisturizer).
8. Shea Butter
Shea butter is the creamy fat extracted from the African Shea tree, which is considered sacred by many communities in West Africa. Studies have shown it is excellent at moisturizing skin, and also contains powerful anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. (13)
How to Use Shea Butter
Shea butter has a rich, creamy texture that makes it perfect for use as a full-body lotion, or even as a heavy face moisturizer. To make your Shea butter experience even more indulgent, add a couple drops of your favorite essential oils and combine them thoroughly before applying.
As a bonus, Shea butter is also said to be excellent for improving the look of stretch marks.
9. Coffee
We all know that coffee gives us a kick-start to our day, but it also contains a ton of antioxidants that help fight signs of aging. Coffee’s caffeine content may even help improve cellulite when applied topically. (14)
How to Use Coffee
Using coffee as a full-body scrub can help remove dead skin cells while also increasing circulation and improving the appearance of cellulite. To whip up an easy scrub, combine:
1/2 cup coffee grounds
1/4 cup coconut oil
1-2 drops of your favorite essential oil
10. Raw Honey
Raw honey just got sweeter: You can not only grab a spoonful for its antibacterial benefits, but you can also apply it topically to help reduce acne, inflammation, brighten skin, and lock in moisture. (15) Honey is a humectant, which means it attracts and holds moisture, which is great for keeping skin supple.
How to Use Raw Honey
For a brightening and moisturizing face mask, combine one tablespoon of raw honey with one drop of lemon essential oil. Apply to your face and let sit for 15 minutes, then wash away with warm water.
11. Sea Salt
Sea salt is rich in an array of trace minerals, including potassium, magnesium, calcium, manganese, and zinc. It’s naturally antibacterial, which helps manage acne and other skin conditions caused by bacteria. (16) Its coarseness also makes it great for use as a full-body scrub.
How to Use Sea Salt
Make a soothing salt scrub by combining 1/4 cup sea salt, 1/4 cup aloe vera gel, 1/4 cup coconut oil, and 2-3 drops of your favorite essential oil. This should form a thick paste you can rub over your body in the shower.
Add 1/2 cup of sea salt to your Epsom salt bath for an extra dose of minerals and skin-softening benefits.
12. Lemon
Lemons are rich in vitamin C, another potent antioxidant that fights aging and DNA damage. (17) When applying lemon topically, make sure to avoid the sun as citrus can make your skin sensitive to light.
How to Use Lemon
Add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice to one tablespoon of raw honey. Apply to your face and let sit for 15 minutes before washing away with warm water.
Take a section of lemon and rub it on your nails to help whiten them.
Add one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice or 2 drops of lemon essential oil to one of the body scrub recipes mentioned above.
13. Coconut Cream
Coconut cream makes a luxurious hair and body moisturizer. Note: Coconut cream is different from coconut oil. Where coconut oil is pressed from coconut flesh, coconut cream results from simmering coconut flesh in water. The thick, creamy layer that separates from the thinner layer is coconut cream (the rest is coconut milk). Coconut cream contains beneficial saturated fats and acids that moisturize, as well as kill bad bacteria. (18)
How to Use Coconut Cream
Nourish you hair by combining 1/2 cup coconut cream with 2 tsp raw honey and 1/4 cup coconut milk. Apply liberally to ends of damp hair. Let sit for 10 minutes, then rinse.

Activated charcoal in toothpaste helps to remove the stains on your teeth. Charcoal is mildly coarse and can absorb surface stains to some extent. Though, there is no evidence that it is a natural whitening element or helps to remove the stains below the tooth’s enamel. Yet, the coarse powder does work on the teeth and this helps the teeth to get the stains removed.

People who would like to try activated charcoal to whiten their teeth can simply purchase the powder or capsule along with a charcoal brush set.

For a few minutes, your teeth might look dangerous, but just notice after an hour or so, your teeth appear white. 
4. The pros of using charcoal teeth whitening strips or only charcoal powder

Do consider seeking advice before using.
Opt for whitening strips. They are helpful through which mess can be avoided. 
There are a few times when one cannot use charcoal powder and hence, considering a few other remedies become necessary. Handy alternatives that might work for you include -

Cutie Reviews: NMNL April 20
Okay, so something’s wrong with my front page picture. Instead, we’ll change things up a teensy bit, and I’ll make the front image the April Glam Gift set.
Tumblr media
This month’s theme is Stay Home, Stay Fabulous
“This month we wanted to curate a beauty box that includes just what you need to give your hair and skin a boost at home, while also including adorable makeup products so you can glam up when you feel like it!“
Glam Gift and Photo Prize
Tumblr media
So as you saw above, our GG for this month was based around Witch’s Pouch, a brand that happens to stay classy with a touch of cute whimsy. The products are a variety of cosmetics and some extra useful items, such as primer and cleansing pads.
Meanwhile, the Photo Prize consists of these super-cute Line and A Peach lip balms. They look so deliciously adorable~
For this month, the horoscope was “Which at-home Beauty Activity should you try?“. These are what it suggested:
Aries - Funky wash-out hair color
Taurus - Make a DIY clay mask
Gemini - Organize the makeup collection
Cancer - DIY bath bombs
Leo - Clean your makeup brushes
Virgo  - DIY hair mask
Libra - Try Japanese nail art
Scorpio - DIY lip scrub
Sagittarius - Do a face massage
Capricorn - Use a pore strip
Aquarius - Clean the makeup drawer
Pisces - Try an artsy makeup tutorial
Which activity did you get? Which one have you tried? Or if none of these apply to you, what would you like to try?
Pores Clear Pack Peel Off & Foot and Heel Peeling Mask
Tumblr media
Our first two items are peeling packs, but for different parts of the body. First, we’ll begin with the pore pack, which comes from the brand Porez. It’s applied directly from the bottle and is made from Moroccan lava clay and charcoal to absorb pore impurities while cleaning the nose.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Honestly I’m not sure if it really does much, other then help pull up some more loose/dry/flaky skin from my nose. It always feels nice after I apply some facial product though. It has a strong scent, I’m not really sure how to describe it.
It goes on pretty easy but until you get the hang of it, you can expect it to be a little blotchy, and if you’re not careful you could have a wet layer beneath a dry layer, rather then satisfyingly removing it all at once. The hole it comes out of can also be kind of messy, but it’s easy to clean up.
- - - - -
I was super-excited for this next item :D we don’t get foot peeling packs very often (in fact it’s been like 2 years since I did it last, if not longer).
This one features a little cute panda motif and is made from natural extracts of fruits and herb. What makes this pack fun is that not only do you apply the product to the socks yourself, but they include cute paw print sticker/tape strips to help hold them on.
Alright, so it’s only been about 3 days since I used them. The description says it takes anywhere from 4-6 days before the skin begins to peel, so I’m not going to be rating this one yet. I’ll have an update on it when something starts to happen in a future post. But for now I’ll say it smells wonderful prior to putting it on, right after removing it, the scent is still there but there was also a very strong alcohol scent overtaking it. It really irritated my nose DX
Mediheal Hair Sheep Steam Pack
Tumblr media
I was also really excited for this one, simply because a few Youtubers I watch have tried it out. It’s always kind of fun to get a product you recognize :3
This product promises to leave your hair feeling silky and shiny after use, and it “heats up“ to help repair damage like split ends, and frizzy dryness. It contains items such as goat milk and hydrolyzed collagen.
♥  ♥
So... I have mixed feelings about this one. It’s really cute and sounds kinda fun, it also has a decent scent. But I really don’t think it actually did anything for me (but to be fair, it’s about a year old, that could be why?), and it kind of felt like an inconvenience. After you wash your hair you have to towel dry it, then put this on for so long, and rinse it out. My dad of all people had to help me put it on too, because I was having trouble keeping it open (product is inside of it) and hold my hair up.
Animal Beating Net
Tumblr media
Next up is this ultra-cute looking sponge that comes shaped as a froggy, bear, fish, or ducky! It also includes a small mesh-ish net that you put the little sponge into and wet, then you apply a facial cleaner or soap to foam it up nice and good. This was made to increase the foam/lather while cutting down on how much product gets used.
It’s silly but I hesitated a little to open the package; it’s so cute looking, I didn’t want to ruin it... but I did, and I set my little froggy free.
♥  ♥  ♥  ♥ 
Initially, I didn’t really think much of it, but the more I was using it the more fun I found it to be. It’s so cute, and yeah you have to clean it up afterwards, but that’s besides the point. You get a good amount of lather, and you can keep re-foaming it with a bit more water if you need more.
Arm Massager
Tumblr media
This item comes from the brand Tsubosh. It’s available in this really light pinkish color or white. You roll it around the shoulder or wrist to loosen the joints and pressure points.
♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥
I wasn’t really sure if this was doing anything honestly. But because of my stiffened joints and aches as of late, I feel like it’s been helping that a little bit. My mom (who is still bedridden, but she’s capable of standing and using crutches now, and she can walk a teensy bit) really likes it too, and she’s been using it as a make-shift weight to lift.
Tinted Lip Balm, Bubble Lip Pack, & Heart Blossom Blush
Tumblr media
I really didn’t need to cram all 3 of these into one picture, but I don’t hate it.
First we’ll begin with the blusher, which comes from one of my favorite brands, Etude House. This is a limited edition for spring, featuring a cute heart-shaped window and flowers etched into the blush. It’s soft with a faint shimmer, and was available in two colors: Attracted Love or Unrelenting Spring.
At least the booklet says. Mine is listed as the color Just Clicked on the box it came in. It’s a sort of... coral-ish color.
♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥
Well it gets high cuteness points. It’s also really pretty, and the container it came in makes me feel so fancy~
The color itself sort of worried me, given how orangey it looks. But when I applied it on my cheek, I noticed it’s not nearly as pigmented as it was on my fingers (you’re supposed to use a brush or puff or something but I didn’t have one nearby), so it sort of just added a natural looking glow to my cheeks.
- - - - -
This cute little lip pack comes from Choosy, a well-known lip-based brand that we’ve seen countless of times within these cosmetic boxes. This was really fun, it was just like using one of those foaming face masks, but on your lips, and it has a lovely mint scent!
♥  ♥  ♥  ♥ 
I really, really like this. It’s not a long-term product as far as I can tell, but it’s really fun to use and it smells so good. My lips feel refreshed after using it, especially when you apply a little bit of lip balm afterwards. 
Also, I’m not really sure but I think you can use this multiple times. You can’t reseal it, but you get so much product, I can’t imagine using it all at once. It only takes a little swipe to fully cover my lips. Even days later, it’s still fresh and works fine.
- - - - - -
Our final item and probably my most favorite of the bunch is this kawaii Pokemon heart-shaped lip product from IT’S DEMO. I like this brand too, although I don’t see it nearly as much as some others.
Each tin has it’s own flavor and color, and feature unique Pichu/Pikachu themed artwork. There was:
Blue - Peach
Pink - Cherry
Green - Candy
Yellow - Citrus
♥  ♥  ♥  ♥
I love love LOVE this! It smells amazing, and it’s so ultra-cute ♥
However, I don’t know if it’s because it was sitting around for a year or what, but mine seems to have a “jellied lip balm film“ over it. I’ve never really seen anything like it before. Also, the lid is fairly loose. It rests on the tin well enough, but if you hold the lid, it slides off. Depending on the angle, it seems to stay on slightly longer, but other times it comes right off. Only if you hold it by the lid though, it doesn’t randomly pop up if you’re not touching it or anything. 
I wish I could get the other three still~
♥ Cutie Ranking ♥
Content - 5 out of 5. I liked everything, it was very fun and cute. There are a couple of things I think I may have liked a bit more in our previous box, but I like this one about the same. Even that sheep steam pack that seems not to have worked at all; as I said it could be my fault for not using it sooner. I’m super-excited for the foot peeling to begin!
Theme: 5 out of 5. I suppose? I’m not entirely sure how to judge this one, but it’s all stuff you can use in the home.
Total Rank: 9 out of 10. Everything worked, maybe not to the extent of what was guaranteed, but I still liked it all. The theme wasn’t all that special or anything,  but it wasn’t a bad idea either. Everyone should be allowed to feel beautiful inside and out, in the house or outdoors.
For now, that concludes this review :3 I just got my Gacha Gacha crate while I was working on this, and I’m planning on getting it done tomorrow. So until then, stay cute!

Activated Charcoal Powder | Coconut Shell Charcoal
Activated charcoal – also referred to as activated carbon – is charcoal that has undergone a heating process that makes it safe for medicinal use. This process, which increases the charcoal’s adsorptive ability, allows it to expand into a porous surface capable of trapping a multitude of toxins and chemicals
While natural oil production is necessary for keeping our skin moisturized, glowing, and free of wrinkles, too much can be a problem. Oily skin can trap dirt and other impurities from the environment, which then sit on our skin and result in clogged pores—especially if you aren’t regularly exfoliating.Activated charcoal, again with its adsorptive quality, can bind to these impurities and excess oil, while gently loosening deeply-ingrained particles with its gritty texture.
The Charcoal Powder is 100% Natural made from Coconut Shell.
Best used for Face and Hair Masks. Add Activated Charcoal powder to your DIY Face and Hair masks.
Activated charcoal can bind to these impurities and excess oil, while gently loosening deeply-ingrained particles with its gritty texture.
Activated charcoal’s slightly gritty texture makes it a great option for gentle exfoliation.
Using activated charcoal as a mask and scrub can help loosen the debris clogging up your pores.

How To Make a Gas Mask for Survival

How to Make a Survival Gas Mask
A gas mask is something I don't carry in my bug out bag because the likelihood of a chemical attack in my area in not likely.
However, just because you don't have a piece of survival gear, you should still know how to make your own, just in case SHTF.
Black Scout Survival put this video together with a step-by-by step guide on exactly how to make a Gas Mask. You could always go buy your own mask, but here are the household items you will have to scrounge up before you begin.
Here’s what you’ll need for a DIY Gas Mask
2-liter bottle (rinsed out, label and cap removed).
Soda can.
Thick rubber bands.
Cotton pad rounds.
Duct tape.
Medical tape.
Activated charcoal (not pills, but a large container like you’d find on the aquarium isle).
Here’s how to make it:
Use scissors to cut off the bottom of the 2-liter, right where it starts to curve.
Cut off about 1/4 of the side of the bottle, down to where it starts to curve toward the top. Round off that end.
Use medical tape to pad the rough edges you just cut (optional).
Put duct tape around the bottom and fold it over to pad the rough edges on the bottom.
Put duct tape down the edges of the section you cut out and fold it over to pad that as well.
Use scissors to cut multiple breather holes in the bottom of the soda can.
Cut off the bottom of the can, about two inches from the bottom, creating a small can.
Put a cotton round in the bottom of the small can.
Pour a layer of activated charcoal onto the cotton round.
Put a cotton round on top of the activated charcoal.
Use duct tape to tape a cotton round to the top of the small can.
Poke a hole in the center of the cotton round.
Use that hole to fit your new filter over the 2-liter’s spout.
Use duct tape to tape the filter to the 2-liter.
At this point, put the gas mask up to your face and make sure you can breathe through it, otherwise you’ll want to add more holes to the can.
Break a rubber band. Now poke holes at the two corners near the top of the mask.
Run the rubber band through one hole and tie a knot, then run the other end of the rubber band through the other hole and tie a knot.
Put it on and make sure there’s a good seal all the way around.
