Natural Skincare Routine

Its amazing how good Lauren's skin looks in the video, its certainly worth trying out some of her tips and homemade cosmetic recipes.

I tried out her almond meal scrub and it totally made my skin soft and dewy. It was a little bit tricky to apply, but if you make sure to do it over a sink or something, it will be fine. I added a little bit of neroli water to make a paste, which was gorgeous.

Homemade Sugar Scrub

A great way to save money, time and keep your skin exfoliated and moisturised at the same time.

Simply mix a tablespoonful of olive oil with 2 tablespoons of caster sugar.

Apply it on each part of your body whilst in the shower, it leaves your skin sooo smooth. Take your time massaging it into your skin, until your hand tingles.

You'll soon work out if you need more or less of it per shower/bath to properly exfoliate your whole body.

At the end of the shower, whilst your pores are open, use the final small amount on your face, remove with a warm wet flannel, and then rinse your face with cold water. Finish by moisturising your face with your favourite moisturiser, then your knees and elbows with a super moisturiser (I love Skin Food by Weleda for this! It smells divine!)
