At home facial for clear skin

How to Pamper Your Face

 Before you begin, read through these steps first so that you can make preparations. This will ensure that you have the most relaxing experience.

 1. Cleanse

 Fill the bathroom sink or a clean bowl with very warm water and throw in a nice facial cloth. Turn on some soothing spa-esc music or any music that allows you to relax.

Before you begin pampering, you need to have a clean face with no grime, sweat, or makeup. The most natural way to do this is to use oil (don’t worry, it won’t clog your pores or break you out). I like to use coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil, but you can any oil to cleanse your face that is natural and cold pressed like almond, sesame, jojoba, or grape seed oil…etc . Apply a small amount to your fingers.

 Massage the oil into the skin in a circular motion to break up any makeup. The oil will even break up the most resistant mascara, just make sure to keep your eyes tightly closed. I recommend cleansing your eyes last if you need to remove makeup to lessen the chance that you might accidentally open your eyes.

 Massage the oil into your skin for at least a minute, focusing on problem areas like dry skin, puffiness around the eyes, blackheads, and acne (just be gentle here). Make this an enjoyable experience, you’re pampering yourself after all.

 After cleansing, reach into the sink or bowl and grab your face cloth. Wring it out a bit and gently wipe your eyes first, then the rest of your face. Your skin will be clean and glowing already! But we’re not done yet!

 

2. Herbal Facial Steam

 This is a really relaxing and luxurious experience. All you need is:

 • A nice big bowl

• 2 TB of your favorite fragrant herb like chamomile, rose, lavender…etc or a few tea bags of herbal tea or green tea

• A few drops of your favorite essential oil.

• A big towel

 

Fill the bowl with very hot water (be careful if you’re using a glass bowl), and fill it ¾ of the way to the top. Add your herbs and oils. Get comfy somewhere, and put your face over the steaming herbal tea. Put your hair up and then put the towel over your head to create a tent that traps in all that glorious fragrance and cleansing steam. Leave a small opening for air flow, and steam your face for at least 10 minutes.

 

Your pores will open and release toxins, oils, and bacteria, allowing the nourishing plant oil vapor to penetrate and cleanse your skin. Steaming will really help with our next step because you want your pores to be as open as possible.

 

3. Exfoliation

Now that your pores are all nice and open, it’s time to scrub away blackheads and dead skin cells. Reach into your spice cabinet and grab some cinnamon and then the pantry for some almonds or oat bran. Grind up the almonds until they are fine but still have a little grit, you need this to exfoliate.

 

Mix 1 TB ground almonds or oat bran with ¼ tsp Cinnamon powder. Add 1 drop of essential oil like lavender or tea tree and a small amount of water or green tea. You need just enough water to make it moist. Dab a cloth into your herbal steam bowl and gently wipe your face clean of the impurities from steaming. Apply some homemade scrub to your fingers and massage into your skin in a circular motion. Focus on blackheads and dry skin areas. I don’t recommend scrubbing too hard because it will aggravate acne and oil production. We’re shooting for clear skin here!

 Rinse the scrub thoroughly and pat dry.

 4. Mask

Applying a nice facial mask after clearing away blackheads and impurities, will allow the clay to tighten and minimize the appearance of pores. I love bentonite clay.

 Mix a small amount of clay with water or herbal tea until liquid but not too runny. I like to mix clay using this method. Apply the clay with your fingers or a fan brush in an even layer and let the clay dry completely before rinsing.

 Clays masks will absorb toxins, stimulate nourishing circulation, and deep clean the pores. It is one of the best ways to achieve clear skin.

 

5.Toner

 Using rose water after a facial mask will balance the PH of your skin, hydrate it, and make it glow. The astringent properties of rose water will tighten the pores, making them appear smaller, and seal in moisture for a smooth and supple look.

 All you have to do is liberally spray or apply with cotton balls, the rose water all over your face, breathe deeply of its heavenly fragrance, and press it into the skin with your fingertips.

 6. Facial Oil Moisturizer

 We began with oil and now we will end with oil. Using a facial oil like jojoba, rosehip oil, argan, tamanu, or almond oil will deeply moisturize and smooth the skin. They also happen to protect and balance the skin, making them the perfect one ingredient moisturizer..

 Simply apply a few drops to your fingertips and massage into your skin. I like to apply it while my face is still wet with rose water for best results. This will prevent dragging the skin and allow for even application.

Once you’re finished, your face should be bright and fresh! I hope you take the time to pamper yourself and enjoy this luxurious at home facial.

The beauty benefits of African black soap

The Beauty Benefits of African Black soap

Seeking ferociously clean and nourished skin! Let your senses run wild when you experience the hydrating, healing and soothing effects of pure black soap. In this article I will share with you the origins and beauty benefits of African Black Soap plus let you in on why I love Olaanaturale Liquid Black Soap

The wild and often harsh plains of Africa are known to be one of the oldest and wisest continents in the world. All that visit this sacred land can’t help but feel the connection to its heart and spirit, it’s a land where many people come home a little different, even a little better. I know I do.

 

The wind that sweeps across the savannah carries with it many ancient secrets, and thousands of years ago it whispered to the women of Africa the sacred recipe of Black Soap.

 Originating from West Africa, black soap has a very mild and earthy aroma and is a natural source of Vitamin A, E and Iron. The luxurious creamy lather leaves the skin moisturised, nourished and soft. African Black Soap has been used for generations as a natural remedy for soothing acne, healing eczema, repairing premature aging and nourishing the skin and hair

Its Origins

Its methods and secrets have been passed down from generation to generation, with the women respecting its origins; they work hard at keeping the soap closely connected to Mother Nature and avoid exploitation and imitations.

 Black Soap is made from dried plantain skins, palm leaves, cocoa pod powder and kernel oil. The skin of the plantain is dried under the hot African sun and then roasted in a clay oven; then all the ingredients are grinded together to form a concoction that becomes a nutrient dense skin food.

 You can buy African Black Soap in cake, paste or liquid form, some black soaps can be drying on the skin so it’s important to hunt down the ones that are made with ingredients that have moisturising properties such as shea butter, coconut oil, honey and cocoa pod.

 The Beauty Benefits of African Black Soap

Due to the purity and simplicity of the ingredients, Black soap is one of the healthiest soaps for your skin and hair. Here are just a few of the benefits of using African Black Soap:

 Protects the skin from premature aging:  The rich source of antioxidants and vitamin A found in black soap makes for a nourishing feed for the skin. The antioxidants boost skin cell renewal which helps promote a suppler complexion while smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin A encourages collagen production which results in plumping out the skin and reducing those signs of premature aging.

Improves skin texture:  Black soap works on a cellular level. Brimming with vitamin E it helps strengthen and repair tissue structure so that you are left with a clearer and velvety skin texture.

 Fades skin discolorations: Vitamins A and E help repair environmental damage, a great remedy to fade those dreaded brown spots, age spots and discolorations. Regular use of black soap will leave you with a more even skin tone.

Reduces inflammation and skin irritations: Black soap is high in lauric acid giving it anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties which help reduce inflammation and skin irritations. The vitamin A and E helps repair skin and soothe dry and irritated skin, relieving dry patches, rashes and red areas.

 Reduce acne: The cleansing and antibacterial properties of black soap help heal and soothe problem skin conditions like acne. It is also non-comedogenic so you don’t have to worry about blocking pores.

Deep skin cleansing: Black soap has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties and is great for deep pore cleansing. It also is effective at removing makeup because of its rich content of oils and butters.

 Banish those razor bumps: The rich resource of fatty acids work to reinforce the skin’s lipid barrier and lock in moisture. The high content of shea butter helps soothe and repair the cells around the hair follicle, reducing any inflammation.

A natural exfoliant: The ashes in black soap provide exfoliating properties to shed off dead skin cells which reduce fine lines, soften and rejuvenate rough skin and encourage cell renewal.

That is why I love using Olaa black soap. Olaa black soap is handcrafted with love. It is loaded with butters, oils, herbs and gently perfumed with essential oils.

Olaa black soap is a gentle body wash that is good for both the body and the planet, by supporting Olaanaturale Black Soap you provide an incentive for villagers to continue producing these ancient natural formulaes that sustained Africans long before the advent of chemically based substitutes.

Aside from being a nourishing cleanser for hair and skin, it is great for removing makeup, using on babies and disinfecting inflamed and irritated skin. Oh and women don’t get all the fun, yes Olaa Black Soap is great for shaving, the luxurious lather makes for a great natural alternative to those mainstream shaving creams and foams.

There is a versatile bottle of Olaa liquid black soup,  made only with organic and wild crafted ingredients, each bottle contains, cocoa pod, coconut oil, and lemon grass essential oil. I found the coconut oil very moisturising on my skin. And you will be happy to know that there are no hidden nasties or chemicals. The product contains:

•No preservatives or nasty chemicals

•No artificial fragrance or colour

•Is kind to our animal friends by not testing on animals

•Suitable for vegetarians & vegans

 You can purchase a bottle of this liquid black soap from:

1. Vcare supermarket 77, Opebi road Ikeja Lagos;

2. Leeroy beauty shop 22 Sunrise plaza Odozi Street, beside dankaro estate gate alagbole Akute road. Lagos.

Olaa Shea Butter Black Soap- What's the big deal?

Olaanaturale
 

Non Toxic
Our Black Soap is made from pure unrefined shea butter- harvested from local shea nuts in Nigeria, as raw, pure and beneficial as Shea butter can get. The other simple ingredients are virgin coconut oil and cocoa pod ashes, herbal extracts, pure honey, camwood and phytonutrients. This soap is packed full of naturally occurring Vitamin E and A, with plenty of antioxidants. Something most soap cannot boast of.

Typical soaps contain sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), which is a lathering agent and a known carcinogen. Olaanaturale Black Soap contains no SLS, nor any lathering agents period. It lathers naturally and does not strip away beneficial oils from hair and skin the way products containing SLS do.

Acne
Olaa Black Soap has natural antibacterial properties which aid in the prevention of acne. This soap penetrates the skin and helps remove impurities from below the skin's surface. It also helps control excessive oil production (by not stripping away the good, natural oils), and hinders bacterial growth. This soap clears existing acne, and prevents future acne.

Anti Aging
Loaded with Vitamin E, antioxidants, and polyphenols, Olaa Black Soap fights free radicals which lead to premature aging. This soap can help reduce fine lines, even out skin tone, and make skin appear smooth and youthful. The high concentration of Shea butter also protects skin from UV rays.

Body Odour
The antibacterial and antifungal properties of Olaa Black Soap make it especially beneficial to those who suffer with varying types of body odour. Daily use can control excessive body odour.

Dandruff
Again, the antibacterial and antifungal properties control bacterial growth and can help remedy dandruff / itchy scalp issues.

Eczema/Psoriasis
A lot of folks who suffer from these conditions swear by Black Soap. The cocoa pod ashes actually help heal skin irritations while the shea butter nourishes and hydrates. The natural Vitamin E and Iron help heal and rebuild.


This is truly a magic little bucket of soap. And better yet, it is one size fits all. Doesn't matter if your skin is dry as the Sahara or super oily, acne prone or wrinkle prone, it's great for everyone.

A few words of warning however...
- The soap is a natural exfoliator. Excessive scrubbing will lead to irritation, make sure soap is well lathered before applying to face.
- You may notice new break outs in the first 2 weeks as deep rooted impurities are brought to the surface and washed away. Not all experience this, but I like to provide this warning just in case.
- Also, if you are highly sensitive to caffeine, you could develop some redness from using this soap. Natural caffeine is contained in the cocoa pod ashes. In most, this passes in the first few days.


We currently are looking for distributors all over Nigeria. If you are interested in learning more or trying out this wonder soap, just let us know!

Cellulite? Get rid of it naturally!

A few weeks back I made the mistake of prancing around my room after shower, rocking out to Wizkid and shaking my booty when I stopped to examine myself in the mirror…as we ladies tend to do.
While that all sounds normal (at least, I hope it does) it was the microscopic skin examination I got into that really freaked me out.
Of course I saw the regular blotches, bruises, and cellulite dimples but this time, it looked like my cellulite had gotten worse. Not only did I cringe but I got dressed immediately.
Straight after that I started working on how to get rid of the cellulite fast and naturally so that I could banish that dimply disaster once and for all.

Want to learn how to get rid of cellulite fast and naturally? Good. Keep on reading.

What is cellulite and why do we get it?              

Simply put, cellulite is a build up of fat within the deeper layers of our skin (or our dermis) that is held in place by various connective tissue fibers.
Cellulite becomes more noticeable when these fibers push down on the fatty tissue, restricting blood flow, causing fluid backup, and enlarging the fat cells that give us that dimply, cottage cheese look we all loathe.
What’s more is that our bodies love to store these fatty tissues in our legs and our butts…basically the last place we want it to be stored.
Add to that the toxins in your body that intensify the look, and the fact that women are really the only ones who have to deal with this issue, and you have yourself a damn good reason to get rid of it, like yesterday!

Sure, diet and exercise are crucial elements that you need to incorporate into your anti-cellulite efforts, but you can also add a quick DIY scrub that helps to break up the concentration of fatty tissue deposits and give your skin a more smooth appearance.

How to get rid of cellulite fast and naturally

One thing that really seals the deal for me with DIYs is their level of ease….and how much it costs to make them…okay so two things.
Not only is this treatment easy to make but you can find all of the ingredients at your local grocery store, if you don’t already have them lying around the kitchen.

All you need is:

• 1/2 cup of ground Coffee or Cocoa
• 1 tablespoon of white or brown Sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons of Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon of Glycerin  or Coconut oil or Jojoba oil
• 2 teaspoons of Vitamin E Oil 

Because the amount of toxins in your body plays a part in how severe your cellulite looks, you need the caffeine or cocoa, an antioxidant to get rid of the free radicals, stimulate blood flow, and improve circulation.
Ultimately this helps to smooth out the build up of fatty tissue while also firming and tightening the skin.
Sugar, on the other hand, acts as an additional exfoliant that will open and clear out your pores, allowing them to absorb the ingredients more easily.

Finally, the Olive Oil and Vitamin E Oil helps to restore moisture to your skin and keep it hydrated as the caffeine content may cause slight dehydration.
These oils are also packed full of healthy fats that help to protect your skin cells, and give your skin an additional antioxidant punch.
Once you have your ingredients rounded up, the process is simple:

• have a hot shower to help open up your pores
• combine all your ingredients in a medium-size bowl
• stir your mixture until evenly combined
• using your hands, apply your scrub only to the areas you have cellulite
• scrub your skin as hard as you can for 5 minutes and do not rinse off
• using plastic wrap (or saran wrap), wrap the areas you have applied your scrub
• leave those parts wrapped up for 10 minutes
• after your 10 minutes are up, remove the plastic wrap and rinse off but do not use soap
• apply your favourite moisturizer

After the redness on your skin calms down you should notice those areas looking smoother and eventually your dimples should start to fade away but remember, a healthy diet and regular exercise has to become a part of your lifestyle if you really want that cellulite to stay away!Got your own tip on how to get rid of cellulite fast and naturally?

Uses of Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil Is:

Coconut oil

• Anti-bacterial (kills bacteria that cause ulcers, throat infections, urinary tract infections, gum diseases, and other bacterial infections)
• Anti-carcinogenic (coconut oil has antimicrobial properties so it effectively prevents the spread of cancer cells and enhances the immune system)
• Anti-fungal (kills fungi and yeast that lead to infection)
• Anti-inflammatory (appears to have a direct effect in suppressing inflammation and repairing tissue, and it may also contribute by inhibiting harmful intestinal microorganisms that cause chronic inflammation.)
• Anti-microbial/Infection Fighting (the medium-chain fatty acids and monoglycerides found in coconut oil are the same as those in human mother’s milk, and they have extraordinary antimicrobial properties. By disrupting the lipid structures of microbes, they inactivate them. About half of coconut oil consists of lauric acid. Lauric acid, its metabolite monolaurin and other fatty acids in coconut oil are known to protect against infection from bacteria, viruses, yeast, fungi and parasites. While not having any negative effect on beneficial gut bacteria, coconut oil inactivates undesirable microbes.)

• An Antioxidant (protects against free-radical formation and damage)
• Anti-parasitic (fights to rid the body of tapeworms, lice and other parasites)
• Anti-protozoa (kills giardia, a common protozoan infection of the gut)
• Anti-viral
• Infection fighting
• Has no harmful for discomforting side effects
• Known to improve nutrient absorption (easily digestible; makes vitamins and minerals more available to the body)
• Nontoxic to humans and animals
  

Coconut oil is the most nourishing oil you can put onto your skin and into your body. Pure virgin (unrefined) cold-pressed coconut oil is the best natural ingredient for skin lotion. It prevents destructive free-radical formation and provides protection against them. It can help to keep the skin from developing liver spots, and other blemishes caused by aging and over exposure to sunlight. It helps to keep connective tissues strong and supple so that the skin doesn’t sag and wrinkle.

The small molecular structure of coconut oil allows for easy absorption through the skin and into the cell structure of the connective tissues. This means that it has the ability to actually restore damaged or diseased skin. Coconut oil will also have lasting benefits, unlike most lotions. It can help bring back a youthful appearance. The coconut oil will aid in removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, making the skin smoother. The skin will become more evenly textured with a healthy “shine”. While doing this the coconut oil will penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and strengthen the underlying tissues

Clearly, coconut oil needs to be present in every product you put onto your skin which is why I include it in my wonderful soap!

How would you like to try your hand at a super simple recipe starring coconut oil? Of course you would!

Today, I am sharing a coconut oil honey scrub that is GREAT to use as a skin smoother and my personal favourite, an armpit de-stinker. Enjoy!
