“You Are What You Feed Your Skin”
As a licensed Esthetician, it is my duty to find a cosmeceutical representing me. I’ve done a variety of research and tests, however, there are endless products out there. I have always gravitated towards the simplicity our Grandmothers and Great Grandmothers used leaving their skin so soft and so clear creating that Nostalgic Beauty.
I’ve put together simple recipes that will cleanse, nourish and protect your skin from harsh free radicals, help pores become smaller, and help tighten your skin.
Today, many women work and have a family to juggle, therefore, it is difficult to think of ourselves whole-heartedly. You will find everyday kitchen products that are so simple for you to use, good for your skin, priced accordingly, and so sensible!!
You will find recipes for the following:
Cleansers
Scrubs (Face & Body)
Facial Masks
Eye Treatments
Toners
Moisturizers
Ingredients may include:
Olive Oil
Castor Oil
Jojoba Oil
Vitamin E Oil

I hope this information brings you at least one step closer to making your life easier, so you have more time to enjoy it!!
