Beauty Preps for the Holidays...

It's all getting windy outside and since the past weekend the winter season officially started!

We have to take good care of our skin especially when the season changes, as it can effect our skin. Sadly I had a little bit of a break out on the skin under my eyes,  it lasted for over a week but than I used a DIY- turmeric mask and it magically disappeared ( Thank god hehe).

So yesterday I started some beauty preparations for the holidays. I put some nice nail polish and applied the magical mask.

"prepare your skin for that sparkling glow on the holidays"

Not only is this mask good for skin break outs, but it has a positive effect on normal skin as well. It feeds the skin the important vitamins, heals and even leaves the skin with a healthy glow.

As Christmas and new years are around the corner now, this would be a perfect time to share this incredible home made or DIY mask. Start as soon as possible to prepare your skin for that sparkling glow on the holidays.

I call this particular mask the Magical Yellow Mask.

The ingredients ( the the benefits of the products) for this mask are:

- Turmeric:  Famous for it's healing for lots of things, it's not only used on the skin but also within the body it has it's magical healing effect. For on the skin it has a anti bacterial working, it helps relieve swelling, prevent wrinkles,  it's anti-inflammatory, and it gives the skin a healthy glow.

- Milk: One of the best ways to hydrate the skin as it is used in lots of creams and ext 

- Gram flour: Reduces the oiliness of the skin and very good to get rid of pimples

- Almond oil: Great for hydration, skin healing, good for dry skin and makes the skin very soft

I have been using this turmeric mask for a long time now and this actually works very well. It also keeps the pimples, acne and dark circles away. And the greatest thing about it is that it's all natural as it's home made!

All you need is the following: 1 little bowl, 1tsp, 2tsp Gram Flour, 1tsp Turmeric, 1.5 tsp Almond Oil, a little milk. Mix this all together till you get the paste like on picture no.7. 

Add this on the face, and be aware it doesn't come in your eyes as its a spice. Leave this on your face for 20 minutes. Afterwards remove it with your fingers making circled movements as you are massaging your face, and wash it off. Your skin will feel healthier and softer.

The other cool thing is that you can put the leftovers in the refrigerator and you can use it again. I personally use the mask once a week. But sometimes you don't get the time in this hectic period so I make sure to use it at least 2 times a month to see the effect of the mask at it's best. The other thing is your make-up looks so flawless when you apply this mask in prior, you will look at yourself in the mirror and start singing FLAWLESS by Beyonce!! Yeah that good!!! ( Yes of course I need to talk about make-up and Beyonce duuuh haha).

Below you can find the nail polish creation I did as part of the preparations as well. I love to mix up nail polish once in a while, by just painting one or two of the nails in another color.

Be sure to try this magical mask and tell me what your beauty preparations for the holidays are? 

Hope you ladies have a sparkling Christmas and a Happy new Year!
