diy amazing antioxidant mask with honey, turmeric and pearl powder

hello lovely ones !! i been so busy with school lately that i have barely any time left to post anything , i been receiving lots of emails from you guys about skin care concerns and i promise i will answer them all this week , i already started hehe , i want to thank you all for your support and as a gift give you the "recipe" for this amazing mask
here's my other version of this mask 

as you all know i worship turmeric for its amazing qualities and the results it gives to my skin , now to this we are adding pearl powder , honey and milk 
(click on each one to see their skin benefits )
so first at all , you will need these ingredients , and i think the most difficult to find will be the pearl powder , i bought mine from  this website and is been out of stock ever since , now my advise is do some local research , ask your chinese friends ( seeing as is very famous among them and the use it for other purposes like a cooking additive or something ) go to your markets and if you cannot find it , then buy it online just make sure it seems legit and not a scam , and talk to the seller and ask him/her about the ingredients of the pearl powder itself , i would recommend ebay

turmeric, you can find it on almost any store , on the spice/condiment isle , and honey as well
and the last two things you need are an old foundation brush and a little container to mix it all together and add the milk for liquid consistency

spread it around your face , and i would recommend you do it with a foundation brush , because is easier and the coverage is better than if you use your fingers plus is cleaner

now as i always say turmeric will STAIN everything so be prepared , add some lemon after rinsing your face if you need to go out and don't want to look "yellow"

this mask is amazing , it has it all : anti aging , wrinkle care, whitening , helps with acne , inflammation and scaring is just the perfect treat for the skin after a long day

hope you all like it
let me know if it worked for ya

snow fungus diy serum

OMG !!!! i been using this serum for a month and my skin has literally become a new skin , queenie chan is so amazing , if you don't know who she is well you need to watch her channel , she is this amazing girl from China and she speaks mandarin on her videos , BUT she does put the English subtitles so us mere mortals can understand and learn from her beauty secrets lol
now here is the video

and here is my version
snow fungus has been known to be very good for the skin , and i know that in China is used in desserts , i don't really like eating because it needs to be cooked and don't really like the smell BUT it feels amazing on the skin

if you live in the USA or NOT in ASIA this might be a little bit challenging to find , but fear not , because most of the Asian supermarket will have it , you just need to print a picture of it and take it with you , or just ask any of you Chinese friends and they might be able to help you find it , i found mine at a Vietnamese supermarket

this is how mine looked

when you first open the package a rancid smell will take you back , is not bad it smells like vinegar or something but after a bit you get used to it 

take one of the "flowers" and put it in a pot with water , clean it very well

make sure there's not any dirt on it

after is soft and clean get clean water on the pot , and then proceed to trim the borders of the "flower" 

for the serum only the white part is gonna be used , the hard yellow part can be used as a sponge for scrubbing your face , i keep it in a container for up to a week and scrub my face with it every single day and my skin feels squeaky clean ^_^

cook the white petals or leaves or whatever they are called hehe for one hour , i used medium heat and the final product should look like this 

the water is going to have this gel like consistency and that's when it should be ready

get a clean crystal container , it can also be plastic just make sure is sterilized 

and voila ! pour the liquid in your container , put it in the freezer for a bit and is ready to use , i store mine for up to two weeks use it every night with a clean cotton mask it leaves my skin refreshed and moisturized , i love this serum <3 

DIY turmeric and yogurt mask

so i been hooked on Turmeric for while now , i just love the effect this spice has had on my skin , turmeric is also called curcuma in many asian countries and also in spanish speaking countries and it has amazing properties , in HERE you can read how awesome this thing can be for your skin
HERE IS ANOTHER ANTI AGING VERSION TO THIS MASK 
Yogurt also has really good properties for both the skin and our bodies and it makes the mask smoother , but if you don't have yogurt you can add lemon,natural oils,milk or water 

what you will need 

turmeric/curcuma 

white natural yogurt ( organic if possible)

you will also need a small container and two spoons , one teaspoon for the turmeric and a tablespoon for the yogurt , and the reason why i say two spoons is because you will use these to measure the right amount of each ingredient 

add yogurt first 

then add turmeric , i always use about half a teaspoon 

then mix all up until you get a paste consistency 

your face should look creepy like this lol ^_^

i always like to wait like an hour before removing this mask , the least you should wait before taking it off would be from 20-30 minutes , it would make your face smooth , firm and shrink your pores,whiten uneven skin tone , if you have any breakouts it can help reduce inflammation and make them less noticeable 

One thing to keep in mind 

turmeric will leave a yellowish stain on the skin/clothes so i recommend you use and old shirt and to do this mask at night before going to sleep or something , i wash my face 3 or 4 times and the stains come right off , but usually i don't mind because i go to sleep after removing it 

if you want to see good effects, like whitening i recommend doing this mask 4 or 5 times a week , more if you can 

i always eat some yogurt while i wait for the mask to be ready , yummms 

hope you will love this mask as much as i do
