Facial Spa Treatment For Oily Skin- Kerri's Kiss Naturals

The BEST spa treatments is done in the home! Self-care is important to maintain a healthy relationship with yourself as it produces positive feelings and boosts your confidence and self-esteem. Also, self-care is necessary to remind yourself and others that you and your needs are important too.
So let's get started with my at home facial spa session.

                                                       Herbal Facial Steam

The Benefits of A Herbal Facial Steam:

They cleanse. Warm steam softens the surface of your skin to remove impurities, bacteria and dirt from your pores. It also draws out buildup, softening blackhead and whitehead plugs so they gently release from the skin.

They promote healthy circulation. Increasing your perspiration helps your skin's blood vessels to dilate, improving blood flow. The blood feeds and oxygenates the skin. Good circulation is key to a healthy complexion.

They hydrate. Steam is hydrating for your skin and great for increasing permeability. The moist heat revives tired skin and supports the absorption of moisture from your skin care products, increasing your skin's suppleness.

They calm. Steaming instantly connects you to your breath, and the aromatherapy is relaxing and soothing to body and mind.

They will give you a glow. The boost in circulation and blast of hydration to the surface of your skin will leave you with a beautiful, healthy glow.

Regular herbal steaming promotes healthy skin, is easy to do and feels great. Taking 30 minutes a week to do this will give your skin clarity, suppleness, and vibrancy. 

Throughout the day, toxins from the world around us clog our pores. When your pores aren't clear, neither is your complexion.

Part 2- Charcoal Mask 

Benefits of a charcoal mask:

Charcoal masks are an amazing treatment for oily skin because they help draw sebum, dirt, and makeup residue out of your pores. Our pores are incredibly important to the skin's natural cleansing system, and when they get clogged with gunk bacteria has a prime place to grow, which is a major cause of acne.

Using a facial steam prior makes applying your facial mask 10 times easier to apply and remove impurities.

      

Activated charcoal when used in a face mask binds to and helps pull the dirt out of your pores, making them less visible (it's the oil and dirt that makes them appear bigger). 

Although my mask cracked because I didn't add as many layers for a quick peel off removal, looking at the largest piece in the middle that was over the nose it removed whiteheads, blackheads and a lot of gunk that rose to the surface.

 

Lastly, I removed any residue left on her face with rose water toner then applied a skin softener oil for her face and sealed her lips with our Shea butter lip balm.

                                                                        Finished!

Morning Detox For Inflammation Due To Psoriasis- Kerri's Kiss Naturals

Good Morning Everyone!

Kerri Honeywood here, Founder of Kerri's Kiss Naturals. Natural/ Organic Skincare Enthusiast, Certified in Diet and Nutrition, Holistic practitioner, Mom of 5 plus one cat baby and Living with psoriasis.

8 years strong, I understand when it comes to skincare you must remember its not always about the outside being irritated, you have to look further within.
Living with psoriasis on the outside displays a battle going on with the skin- Dry cracked scales, inflamed patches and the other things that come along with it including self esteem issues.

I've decided to fight this Auto Immune Disease back by working on the inside to reduce my flare ups by strengthening my immune system with altering my diet. 

If you viewed my previous vlog post here I began adding turmeric in my green tea from time to time. Cucurmin (key component in turmeric) fights inflammation, protecting the cells of the body from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, and inflammation. 

That is what I call a golden spice! So I've found something I can do daily that can also speed the process of healing on the inside.

A Morning detox drink consisting of turmeric, raw local honey, ACV and cranberry apple juice. this drink detoxes kidney function, among those benefits is turmeric's ability to also help the liver to detox.

The liver is one of the most important organs for detoxification. When the liver is supported through the use of turmeric, it can also help to detox the blood, reduce inflammation, and prevent internal blood clotting. Its easy to make and it tastes amazing.

This is an awesome way to jump start your morning with a healthy start!
