Drugstore Skincare Product Of The Week: Nivea Moisturizing Body Wash Care Almond Oil Hibiscus Scent.

Nivea is one of my favorite brands for drugstore body care, their  body products are hydrating and just the perfect amount of scent. I started using the almond oil and hibiscus scent moisturizing body wash, and my skin loves it!  

It is formulated with Nivea's Hydra IQ Technology and Almond Oil, to intensely moisturize your skin, but without the greasy feel. Priced under $5, I have compared it to more expensive body washes and if not equally better its very close. 

What I like to do for extra dewy soft skin is to apply it with just my hands, like a lotion. Then I rinse it with cool to cold water. I pat dry my skin. I come out and hydrate with lotions and or oil to lock in the moisture. My skin has been so soft and hydrated this winter, I am so happy to have a budget friendly routine that works for my super dry skin. 

Sold: Target, Walmart
Price: $3.49

My Favorite Recipes For Hair And Skin Using Coffee/ Mis Cinco Recetas Favoritas Para El Cuidado De Mi Piel Y Cabello Usando Cafe!



 I don't drink coffee and I try to stay away from any drinks that contain caffeine, it makes me super jittery and really sicK. I do however love the smell and I love even more to use it in my skin care, if like me you have really bad dark circles than you probably know that most of the eye creams contain coffee and after you try some of my favorite DIY treatments you will see why! 

The caffeine in coffee has benefits like treating redness and inflammation, to getting rid of the horrible cellulite. Coffee contains anti-inflamatory and antioxidant properties that can keep your skin bright and soft. Also the caffeine can shrink the blood vessel under your eyes reducing circles and puffy eyes. Try some or all of these beauty DIY and let me know how you liked them....

Coffee Face Mask:

  • 2 tbsp of freshly ground coffee (or used grinds)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons of whole milk, heavy cream, or yogurt 
  • 1 tbsp of honey
Mix all ingredients together and apply a light coat to face let sit for about 15 minutes. Remove with warm wash cloth.


Coffee Body Scrub:

  • 1 Cup of coffee grounds
  • 1 Cup of coconut oil melted
  • 1-3 Drops of lemon essential oil 
  • 1-3 Drops of orange essential oil
  • 1/2 Cup coconut sugar 

Caffeine Eye Coffe Mask:

  • 1 tbsp of organic coffee
  • 1 tbsp of honey 
  • 1 tbsp of vitamin e oil
Mix all the ingredients together and apply a thick layer under your eyes, leave it on for 15-20 minutes and rinse off. 

Coffee Eye Pads: 
  • Brew some organic coffee and let it cool. Dip a cotton pad in it and use it to treat your puffy or tired eyes. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes. 
Shiny Hair Treatment 
  • Coffee
  • Water
Prepare a strong coffee, then add a bit of water. let it cool until the mixture is lukewarm. Standing in the tub, pour the liquid onto your hair hair and scalp, then put a shower cap on and sit for 20 minutes. Wash out with warm water.

My Favorite Beauty Tip Of The Week/ Mi Tip Favorite De La Semana!

I'm about to share with you one of the most amaizing beauty tip I have ever tried. Dry Brushing is a technique for exfoliating skin using a dry, natural bristle brush to gently brush the skin. It is also called skin brushing or body brushing. This technique not only promotes healthier skin by removing dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, but also by stimulating and increasing skin cell production, giving your skin a healthy glow all year long.  But the benefits are not just skin deep - dry brushing both increases blood flow and circulation and enhances detoxification through the skin. The benefits are so amaizing and not to mention I find it so relaxing to do. I try to take some time and do it at least ever other night. Dry brushing can be done every day if you want! 

The Benefits   
  • Removing dead skin cells and opening pores to allow them to “breath” and absorb nutrients. Which leaves you with skin that not only feels softer but it's also healthier. 
  • Stimulated lymphatic and circulatory systems: boosting your immune system and increasing circulation to help detoxify.
  • Stress relief: increasing your blood flow reduces stressed areas of the body and stimulates nerve endings in your skin which in turn rejuvenates your nervous system.
  • Reduced cellulite: increasing blood circulation to the skin helps break down and releases toxins that cause cellulite in legs and hips.
  • Helps tone your skin, specially after weight loss and or pregnancy. 
Who is this treatment not good for?  I would suggest that if you have severe skin irritation (acne, rash, eczema, open sore/cut, etc.) To ask you dermatologist if this is right for you. 

How To:
  I Start at my feet making long sweeps,  moving up the legs on both sides, then work from the arms toward my chest. On my stomach, I direct the brush counterclockwise, and for my back a brush sideways like towards the stomach. And, I don't brush too hard: Skin should be stimulated and invigorated but not irritated or red. I like to avoid going back and forth and scrubing too hard.   

Note: There are various suggestions on the web on how to Dry brush, but the one thing they all agree on is to always start from your feet working your way to your heart.

I hope that you guys try this out and tell me how it works for you! 

Good Luck! Xxx

Estoy a punto de compartir con ustedes uno de los trucos de belleza más increiblez que he probado. Cepillado en seco es una técnica para la piel con un exfoliante, cepillo de cerda natural seco para cepillar suavemente la piel. Esta técnica no sólo promueve una piel más sana, eliminando las células muertas de la piel en la superficie de la piel, sino también por estimular y aumentar la producción de células de la piel, dando a su piel un brillo saludable todo el año. Pero los beneficios no son sólo superficial - cepillado en seco tanto aumenta el flujo sanguíneo y la circulación y mejora la desintoxicación a través de la piel. Los beneficios son tan buenos y ni hablar de lo  relajante que es de hacer. Trato de tomar algún tiempo y hacerlo por lo menos entre noche. El cepillado en seco se puede hacer todos los días si quieres!


Los Beneficios:

  • El remover las células muertas de la piel y abrir los poros para que puedan "respirar" y absorber los nutrientes. ¿Qué te deja con la piel que no sólo se siente más suave pero también es saludable.
  • Estimulado sistemas linfático y circulatorio: fortalecer el sistema inmunológico y aumenta la circulación para ayudar a desintoxicar.
  • Alivio del estrés: el aumento de su flujo de sangre disminuye zonas estresadas del cuerpo y estimula las terminaciones nerviosas en la piel que a su vez rejuvenece el sistema nervioso.
  • Reducción de la celulitis: el aumento de la circulación sanguínea en la piel ayuda a descomponer y libera toxinas que causan la celulitis en las piernas y las caderas.
  • Ayuda a tonificar la piel, especialmente después de la pérdida de peso y la o el embarazo.

¿Para quien no es bueno este tratamiebto? Yo diría que si tiene irritación severa de la piel (acné, erupciones, eczema, abierto corte dolor /, etc) para pedirle dermatólogo si éste es el adecuado para usted.

Cómo Hacer:
  Empiezo a mis pies, haciendo barridos largos, moviendo las piernas en ambos lados, entonces trabajo de los brazos hacia el pecho. En el estómago, dirijo el cepillo en sentido antihorario. Y, no se cepilla con demasiada fuerza: la piel debe ser estimulado y fortalecido, pero no irritada o enrojecida. Me gusta evitar que van y vienen y scrubing demasiado rudo. 

Nota: Hay varias sugerencias en la web sobre la manera de secar cepillo, pero lo único que todos están de acuerdo en es empezar siempre desde los pies a trabajar su camino a tu corazón.

Espero que ustedes lo prueben y me digan cómo funciona para usted!

Buenas suerte! Xxx

Awesome Detox Body Soak/ Elimina Toxinas Con Este Baño



 My favorite detox that helps make my skin soooooo soft and really remove any impurities is a Detox Bath Soak! This makes your skin incredibly soft and also makes it really easy to remove dead skin! I use it before I scrub and it makes my skin feel like I spent all day in the spa!
AWESOME DETOX BODY SOAK
Ingredients
2-3 cups Epsom salt
3 tablespoons ground ginger (if you use fresh ginger, use half)
Prepare warm bath and add ingredients to the bath while water is running. I prefer to dry brush before the bath to really get the full effects of a detox. Soak in bath for at least 30 minutes and relax!
Good Luck!Xxx

Mi favorito desintoxicante que ayuda a hacer mi piel tan suave y realmente quitar impurezas es un baño de desintoxicación remojo! Esto hace que mi piel este increíblemente suave y también resulta muy fácil de quitar la piel muerta! Lo uso antes de restregarme con piedras exfoliantes y hace mi piel sentir que me pasé todo el día en el spa!

DESINTOXICACIÓN CUERPO REMOJO
Ingredientes
Sal de Epsom 2-3 tazas
3 cucharadas de tierra jengibre (Si utilizas fresco jengibre, uso medio)
Preparar el baño con agua tibia y agregue los ingredientes al baño mientras está funcionando el agua. Yo prefiero cepillarme la piel en seco antes del baño para conseguir realmente los efectos totales de una desintoxicación. Reposar al menos 30 minutos en el baño y relajarse!
¡Buena suerte!XXX

Drugstore Find: Dove Visiblecare Toning!



 Ever since I can remember I have trusted my skin cleansing to Dove's soap bar, every time I have tried to switch I end up coming back. Dove came out with their line of visiblecare and I'm in LOVE! Ok so I'll admit I was very skeptical about the whole idea of a body wash toning my skin.. but I have to say that after going thru a whole bottle and on my second one now it really does make your sin toner. I feel the difference and what I love about it is that it leaves it super soft and the added scent is just a light clean smell which I love. After I cleanse my skin I apply my NIVEA body cream and my skin has never look or felt toner! I think I found my perfect routine to combat cellulite and dry skin at the same time! Good Luck!

Awesome Cellulite Scrub!

 It seems that every woman, no matter how genetically blessed has at least one dimple some where, if not a few hundred! I always thought I would be dimple free, but that was just a fairy tale! I was trying to find a natural home scrub and found this one, and I must admit that I'm in love. It feels so nice on my skin and I can actually feel it working plus the smell of coffee made me feel refreshed and awake! I don't drink coffee but if someone was to tell me that drinking it will vanish my celullite I would start jugging it down! try it and let me know how you like it! Good Luck Xxx
Awesome Cellulite Body Scrub:
2 Cups Ground Coffee
1 Cup Brown Sugar
4 Tablespoons Olive Oil or Almond Oil (I use more than 4 tablespoons, and baby oil)
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and use the scrub in the shower. Make sure to be careful to wash scrub off well, as the coffee could stain towel or clothing if not rinsed well.  Feel free to add essential oils if desired as well!
