If you want to pamper yourself before <br />a big date, a DIY facial is a great treat that will bring a natural glow to your face, <br />and give special care to your skin. If this is a holiday that you'll be spending single, <br />a quiet and relaxing evening is best accompanied with some self-care and close <br />friends that can join you in your pampering session. Women's daily lives can often <br />be hectic and full of responsibilities. Taking time for self-care is an important part of <br />maintaining balance...</div><div align="center">A DIY face-mask has the benefit of being both cost and time efficient. Most of the <br />ingredients needed can be found in your kitchen, and a lot of time does not have to <br />be set aside to indulge in this pampering act. The recipe below contains exfoliating, <br />brightening, and antioxidant properties.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRJhEyUXptBgeNI45zVhA93TErNhmoFDfSqZfurBZuu0dKfCpTYaHNCNt8uinEJtF063VCkl6Sh2oKLyCIlFsROhNVZYI4vPGiq1fEqKiJRVuC-HUyvim-t17HIIyT9w1ijEPM9aR-rPni/s1600-h/spa10%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="spa10" border="0" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI_QLgiQHXsEO3Tu6O0OK0lFnlrjG95rjRxTGUN2UYRBQNRscfUcZ05JYLfJ7coC3LNDoOri62oAomLUvsdqYxllG6404gLcLOxRXKBnRA9qRR_RkoFeeix0j37yyCBUmp48Ylv4WXo2jA/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="spa10" width="700" /></a></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"><u>Ingredients</u></span> <br />1 cup of Green Tea <br />1 tablespoon of Granulated Sugar <br />1 tablespoon of Lemon Juice</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"><u>Directions</u></span> <br />Make a strong cup of green tea using two teabags, or twice as much loose tea as <br />you would usually use. The tea should be left to steep for approximately an hour, at <br />which point it should be lukewarm. Remove the tealeaves or teabags and mix in the <br />lemon juice and sugar.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"><u>Application</u></span> <br />Remove all makeup and facial products with a makeup remover or cleanser. Fill a <br />bowl or pot with freshly boiled water. Place your face over the bowl with a towel over <br />your head to contain the steam. Steam your face for at least 5 minutes to improve <br />circulation to your skin and release impurities for deeper cleansing. Afterwards, pat <br />the green tea mixture on to your face and rub it in small circular motions to exfoliate. <br />Let the mask sit for at least 15 minutes while you relax. Wash the mixture off and <br />apply your moisturizer.</div><div align="center">Skincare should be the foundation of your beauty routine. A weekly facemask will <br />nourish and hydrate your skin while providing you with a relaxing experience that <br />can quickly ease and rejuvenate your mind.</div><div align="center">Thank you Michelle for such great tips that is so easy to try at home! Michelle works at an Upstate New York spa, <a href="http://turningstone.com/spa/skana.php">SkA:nA </a><br />Spa. When she isn’t pampering someone else you might find her baking, exercising, reading or <br />trying a new DIY project. Blessings and happy Tuesday my friends!
