Milk & Honey Hair Mask for Dry, Damaged Hair....


Just Milk & Honey...
This milk and honey mask is perfect for brittle, damaged hair that tends to be thin and easily weighed down by heavy conditioners and oil treatments. Use cream if you have coarse hair, skim milk if you have fine hair.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups whole milk (use cream if you have super coarse hair or low-fat milk for fine hair)
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • Note: If you use low-fat milk, add a teaspoon of flour to thicken this mask.

Preparation:

Warm up milk in the microwave so it's not too hot to the touch.
Add the honey and stir until fully dissolved.
If you use low-fat milk, add a teaspoon of flour to thicken mask, otherwise it won't stay on hair.
Pour over dry hair, massaging into hair to ensure all strands are covered.
Place a shower cap over hair. Leave for 15-20 minutes. Shampoo as you normally would.

Say NO to cellulite with Body brushing..

Body brushing is an awesome way to do all of this. So how do you get it right?

TIP 1: Make sure you have a good brush. A long handle will make it easier to reach all areas of your body, while natural bristles are kinder skin. If it's your first time, start gently with a softer bristle then work your way up the firmness scale.

TIP 2: Dry body brushing needs to be done once a day on, yes, dry skin. So while you're waiting for the shower to get steamy or your face mask to work its magic, start from the soles of your feet and work upwards.

TIP 3: Direction is important. Work methodically up your body always brushing in long smooth strokes towards your heart, as this is the best way to boost your circulation.

TIP 4: Brush everything. Your feet, heels, legs, hips, bum, arms and elbows with an upwards movement. Your back, torso, shoulders and chest with downward strokes.

TIP 5: Give special attention to your bum and thighs. Brushing helps to break down the fatty deposits that cause dimpled orange peel skin, as well as smooth and even out the skin's surface. So brush, brush, brush that booty!

TIP 6: Sensitive skin should be left alone as you'll only aggravate it, while your face deserves a tailored exfoliating regime all of its own!
