Natural Skin Care

Got this really great tip from Woman’s Day Magazine. You can give yourself a facial while cleansing your skin. Once you get the hang of it – you will want to do it every time you wash your face. According to the article applying uniform strokes when washing your skin helps improve blood circulation and renew elasticity. Ready to begin? Here is how you do it:

Use your ring and middle fingers (these apply the least pressure):

Forehead - Rake your fingertips in upward strokes toward the hairline.

Cheeks - In three separate strokes gently swipe from the sides of your mouth out towards below your ears, then from the sides of your nose out to the middle of your ears and then sweep below the eyes out towards your temples.

Chin and jawline - Massage in circular motion

Scalp Massage Techniques

I just read this great article in Woman’s Day Magazine which tells you how you can reduce tension in your scalp muscles and improve your hair. Apparently, a weekly scalp massage can soothe sore muscles in your head and neck and it also helps spread out the natural oils in your hair which enhances shine. So here is your “Luster” workout:

Start with dry hair and work from the base of your neck.

Use the tips of your fingers to make slow circular motions on your scalp working up toward your hairline.

Then reverse by raking your fingers down through your hair. (Make sure your hair is tangle free or this could be painful)

Repeat steps for 10 minutes. Do this once a week.
