To Wash or Not to Wash?
A few years ago I was asked by a man no less, “Why do you wash your face twice a day if you’re complaining about always having dry skin”. So I had to ponder this. Here is what I came up with. A good cleaning is in order at night since you have the dirt, grime and toxins from the day to wash away before settling in for a good nights sleep. In the morning all you should have is some sweat and secretions from your skins nightly functions. So in the morning I tried just rinsing my face well with cool water. Wow! What a difference. And I haven’t had a day of dry skin since. Sometimes the answer to our problems can be so simple, give it a try and see how your skin responds.
The Great Chocolate Pumpkin Mask
When making pumpkin pies for the family this season make sure to reserve a few teaspoons for yourself. While fresh pumpkin contains more nutrients canned pumpkin has more enzymes available for exfoliating because of the high temperature it’s processed at. So if time is a premium use canned instead of fresh and feel great about it!
1 tsp. Muddy H2O Chocolate Mask
1 tsp. Honey
1 tsp. PumpkinCombine all ingredients and mix well. Apply to your face and neck area and relax for 15 minutes. Rinse well with water and pat dry. Moisturize as needed.
