Chocolate Buttermilk Clay Mask by Fresh Picked Beauty



I chose unsweetened cocoa powder because it is loaded with skin nourishing and protecting antioxidants, plus it smells heavenly and delicious. Buttermilk is rich in skin smoothing lactic acid and can help to gently exfoliate and brighten up any complexion. Rhassoul clay from Morocco is extremely rich in silica, magnesium and potassium which are important minerals for the skin. Finally, aloe vera gel is very soothing and protecting to the skin.


Chocolate Buttermilk Clay Mask
makes enough for 2 facials 
1/2 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tablespoon Buttermilk powder
1/2 tablespoon Rhassoul Clay or Bentonite
1 1/2 tablespoon Aloe vera gel 

Mix together the dry ingredients in a small bowl.

Stir in the Aloe vera gel to form a paste.


Spread half of the mixture over your face. Relax for 20 minutes or until dry. Gently remove with warm water and then mist your face with your favorite hydrosol. Store the other half of the face max in a tightly closed container in the fridge and use within 3 days.

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing.

The health of our lungs and entire respiratory system is affected by the quality of the air we breathe. In addition to oxygen, this air contains other substances ...

Betty Rocker 30 Day Challenge: Day 11 - Yoga with Kate

Image
http://www.katemarolt.com/yoga/ Yoga Flow   I want you to enjoy today's practice and look for more yoga opportunities - preferably with a group or with an instructor.   What I want to invite you to take away after today's practice and print out to use again and again is not the specific flow - it's actually the philosophy of the flow itself.   Here are some words about it from Kate herself - who I encourage you to  connect with online !   "My philosophy is that Yoga is a practice of moving meditation- both on your mat and in your life.   Whether you are holding a pose and focusing on your breath, flowing through a series of movements, or simply observing your thoughts and taking action throughout your day, the intention behind each moment is key.   I believe that we can be 100% sincere and committed to our paths without having to be serious and struggling.   Approaching...
