Belle avec citron?

I started to love lemon few months ago. I thought lemon can be replaced with lime. Ups, lemon is better for beauty.

I use water of lemon for my face 3-4 days a week. It gives itchy sensation in acne area for 1-3 minutes. But it will be worthy. I have brighter face and my acne can be controlled.

How to do?

1. Cut little piece of lemon (one lemon can be cut into 5)

2. Squeeze 1/5 of lemon and pour its water to your face

3. Rub all of your face part (be careful in round eyes area)

4. Stay cool until your face dry (I usually until 1 hour!)

5. Wash your face with water first, then use your daily facial foam

6. Don't forget to use moisturizer (lemon makes your face dry)

If you are a calm person while sleeping, it's better to use lemon water all night. I'm not. It will make my pillow sticky.

Remember to still using SPF during the day!

If you have wound, heal it first. Then you can use lemon water easily.

Another advantage of lemon water:

1. Elbow and knee brightener

It's as same as for face

2. Teeth whitener

Collaborating with baking soda. Maximum 2 days a week. Do it with teeth brush then gargle with clear water. Then brush teeth with your daily tooth paste.

3. Lip exfoliating

Collaborating with white sugar. Apply it all night. Once a week is enough. Then wash your lips in the following morning.

4. Reduce nail yellow

Apply the lemon water to your nail. 3 days a week.

5. Hair lighter

Use lemon water to your hair, then go out in a day light. Stay cool (expose your hair to sunlight) then go back home. Rinse it.

Baby oil experiment

One reason why I love baby product is safety for everyone even adults. Here, I want to share my experiment (maybe experience?!) with baby oil.

1. Removing make up

I usually remove my make up with baby wet tissue. I don't use make up remover because it makes my face going to irritation. The problem is baby wet tissue can not clean make up completely. Basically, baby oil can be used to remove paint (example: watercolor) on your hand or body. So, I tried to pour some drops of baby oil (I drop 3-4 drops) on that tissue. You know what, all kind of make up (include eye make up!) has been removed easily, completely. Remember, number of drops is depend on the layers of your make up. More layers, more drops.

2. Brush cleansing

It's little bit lazy for me to wash my make up brush, even it's so important. It's wasting my time. I must wait until brush dry at all. Then, I tried using baby oil. Again and again, I use baby wet tissue. I pour some drops of baby oil (I drop 5 drops) on tissue then I rub the brush. No need to washing!

3. Combination for bath

If your body is quite dry or you just wanna moisten your body without body lotion, you can use baby oil. Drop some drops of baby oil (I usually 10 drops) to bath tub. It will be useful when you are on the trip and don't not bring body lotion. Happy bathing!

4. Making you warm

Before go outdoor in rainy day (perhaps winter?), rub baby oil on your feet then put on socks. It will keep your feet warm.

5. Manicure pedicure?

You can remove cuticle easily after rubbing nail with baby oil. I never do it by my self. Anyway, I just push back the cuticle after rubbing it.

6. Shining your hair immediately

Problem with dry and dull hair? Just rub your hair with little drop (please not too much!) of baby oil. You are ready to hangout now.

7. Protect your heel

Just rub your heel after taking bath. It would be better if put on socks after rubbing then go to sleep. Baby oil will moisten the hell all the night.

8. Lips scrub

Yup! But be careful, don't use too much baby oil. I usually just use 1 drop with a little sugar. Just mix it and start exfoliate your lips. Finish it with washing with clean water.

9. Shaving oil

I never buy a shaving cream. I use baby oil before shaving to minimize irritation. Rub little of baby oil to your body then shave unwanted hair. Don't forget to shave as same as hair grow direction. After shaving, I pour baby powder.

Wanna try? <3

I care about my lips!

Bagi kamu yang suka pake lip matte, adakalanya pasti bibir kamu menjadi kering bahkan pecah-pecah. Matte nya jadi gak enak dilihat lagi kan? Jangan sampe hal ini terjadi pada kamu! Bahkan buat yang gak suka pake lip matte pun suka ada yang bibirnya inisiatif buat jadi kering kan? That's too bad!

Tips & tricks ala ala agar bibir kamu tetap sehat:

1. Tiap sikat gigi, sikat juga bibir kamu. Jadi bibir yang kering itu akan terangkat oleh sikat. Seperti scrubing saja. Sikatnya pelan-pelan aja kalo bisa pakai sikat gigi yang lembut.
2. Banyak minum! 1.5 liter sehari ya usahain. Makan buah dan sayur juga biar bibir kamu punya vitamin C alami 

3. Pakai lip balm sebelum tidur. Perawatan akan membuahkan hasil yang maksimal ketika dilakukan sebelum tidur. Niscaya besok pagi, bibir kamu akan tetap lembab.

Aku pake Tender Care dari Oriflame buat ngelembabin bibir. To the point, ini seperti balm pada umumnya. Bedanya Tender Care mengandung beeswax yang lebih bersifat melembabkan. Tender Care yang aku pakai ini versi original. Wanginya ringan, hanya wangi cream saja.

Kemasannya bulat tapi kecil jadi gampang dibawa kemana-mana. Dengan isi sekitar 13 gr, cream ini akan cukup awet karena pemakaian yang tipis saja sudah cukup.

Sulitnya mengambil cream ketika kamu berjari besar atau berkuku panjang. Namun harganya oke, aku beli pas lagi diskon yaitu dibawah 40k. 

Biasanya aku pakai malam hari sebelum tidur dan pagi hari setelah mandi. Diamkan 1 menit agar Tender Care meresap dan benar-benar kering. Jadi kalo abis itu mau pake lip matte, akan tetap matte. Bukan glossy. 

Tender Care bisa juga dipakai pada siku, lutut, dan tumit agar tidak kasar dan senantiasa lembab. Agar hasil maksimal oleskan Tender Care setiap saat kulit terasa kering. Bisa dipakai juga pada kuku untuk menghilangkan kutikula.

Cantik gak harus menor, tapi sehat itu harus!
