{Beauty} Olive Oil Scrub

Most of us tend to be afraid of oil base scrubs, but you shouldn't. This one leaves your skin feeling soft, moisturized, and clean. You can use this on your face, but it is best to avoid doing so in the winter. A gentler exfoliant would do just fine. If you do use this scrub on your face, rub very carefully and avoid delicate dry spots, as it can be too harsh on sensitive winter skin. Follow with a thick moisturizer.

{Beauty} Hair Mask

I've had problems with my dry hair for quite sometime now. Ever since I started coloring it, it becomes unmanageable. The funny thing is I didn't bother doing anything about it. As much as I'm concern with the way I look, hair care isn't really one of my thing; until I saw pictures of me with my friends and notice how ugly it is. That's the time I knew I have to do something.



So yesterday I went on a major hair care shopping spree, from shampoo, conditioner to hair treatment. I'm telling you, it's not cheap, beauty does has it's price. But if you're the type who doesn't want to spend so much money on treatments then I suggest you try this Banana Avocado Hair Mask. It doesn't sound appetizing but it's meant to give your hair that gorgeous look. Perfect for those who have dry hair.
