24 Kt Cleopatra Gold Facial & Mask

Gold masks are the latest beauty trend. Cleopatra was well known for applying a facial mask of PURE GOLD to her face every night before going to bed.  More recently, we hear from a Now-Daily UK magazine that celebrities like Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, and Victoria Beckham have chosen facials containing real gold flakes in their pursuit for everlasting beauty. Victoria Beckham also launched a limited edition Heaven golden bee venom mask (£352), which is around 650 CAD. 

 The 24k Gold Collagen Mask line by Jamela skin care uses pure mineral gold infused with high-strength natural plant collagen and anti-oxidants including vitamin E and rose essence to promote rapid collagen and elastin synthesis to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while firming and hydrating the skin for a lasting youthful glow.

The mask is very simple to use.  All you have to do is peel it from its pack, apply to your face, sit back, relax and let the mask do its work.  When applied to the skin, the ingredients in the Gold Collagen mask are absorbed into the skin where they immediately start to form a protective layer against free radicals. They instantly react to the skin’s natural chemistry and help to replace the collagen that decreases with age.  These innovative masks contain 100 per cent high molecular plant collagen with 24k mineral gold, which is absorbed at 10 times the rate of a traditional face mask. 

What’s more, they retain their moisture so the mask is comfortable to wear for up to 5 hours, but are effective after 30 minutes, producing no mess. After only 30 minutes, your skin looks plumper and feels smoother. Once you’ve finished with the mask pop it into a warm bath with you where they will dissolve for the additional benefits of a softer, smoother body.

Potato Your Face

My sister and I have fairly good skin. We get the occasional acne blemish, but it's nothing we don't take care of right away. What our problem is, is the occasionally acne scar that is left behind. We've tried soaps, cleansers, lotions and even dermatologist recommended products. There wasn't much results.

I was watching YouTube videos, when I saw a title that caught my attention, "How Did I Get Rid of Acne Scar Naturally in 3 Days!". Interested, I clicked on it. Her secret was potatoes. Taking a raw potato and cut 4 thin slices from it. Take those slices and rub them all over your face. Let it sit on your face for 15 minutes, then wash off your face with your usually cleanser. You would do this twice a day, for 3 days.

Some research lead me to an online article, "Give thanks for the humble spud". Turns out potatoes are stalked up on vitamins and minerals that your body and skin are greedy for. What I understood, there are compound in these spuds that help to lighten dark mark in the skin. The same compounds are being use in many cosmetics and anti-aging products. The biggest upside, potatoes are safe to use on all skin types.

We decide to try this organic and natural alternative. I haven't been very faithful to the cause, but my sister has. What we noticed right away that was that are skin had become much softer. The scars on my face were never that dark to begin with, but there had been a noticeable change in my sisters appearance. She's been using this process for more than three days, but she's not complaining.

If it works, it works.

  Hair Care - If you are spending time in the sun and outdoors, it is important to protect your locks. Be sure to deep condition at least once a week to avoid dry and dullness. This will also prevent brittle and split ends. To tame your waves spritz on some leave-in conditioner, this will also protect against damage from chlorine or salt water. If you are looking for an afforable natural method to high light hair, try combing lemon juice through your hair. The sun will lighten those strands faster, giving you an attractive sun-streaked look.

• Make Up - Take on summer with a fresh face. It's the season of "less is more". Accentuate your glow with a sheer oil free tinted moisturizer followed by a brush stroke of light shimmering powder highlighting the spots of your face the sun would hit. Try a light shimmering eye shadow in a neutral colour just under your brows and bottom eye-lid to draw attention to your eyes. Finish of your look with a nude lip colour.
