Safe Skin Brightening Tips, Please!!!!

@ Marissa

Make CLARINS LOTUS OIL yourself and SAVE MONEY !! I came across this recipe sometime ago on the internet; I haven't tried it yet because getting essential oils here in naija is not very easy. However, if u have access to the oils, this may save u a small fortune. I'm pasting the recipe exactly as it was poted:

FACE OIL RECIPE:

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LOVE CLARINS LOTUS OIL, IT MAY BE MADE THE SAME WAY, REPLACING THE ESSENTIAL OILS AS FOLLOWS:

1 OZ KUKUI NUT OR HAZELNUT OIL
5 DROPS LOTUS OIL
3 DROPS BAY LEAF OR ROSEMARY OIL
2 DROPS LAVENDAR OR GERANIUM OIL
1 DROP SAGE OIL
1 DROP CHAMOMILE OIL

KUKUI NUT OIL MAY BE REPLACED WITH HAZELNUT OIL IF YOU DESIRE. Mix it up in an amber (dark colored) glass bottle and make sure to shake it up before each use!

Clarins uses hazelnut oil, but I prefer kukui nut oil as it has a longer shelf life. Hazelnut oil should also be refrigerated, so if you choose to use that, keep that in mind. I also replace the geranium oil found in Clarins with lavendar oil simply because I have it on hand, but both work very well.


For those of you who have had luck with DECLEOR YLANG YLANG AROMESSENCE, I have found this to be a great cheap replacement. 

1 OZ. KUKUI NUT OIL
6 DROPS YLANG YLANG OIL
3 DROPS LAVENDAR OR GERANIUM OIL
3 DROPS ROSEMARY OR BAY LEAF OIL

MIX IT UP IN AN AMBER GLASS BOTTLE AND MAKE SURE TO SHAKE IT UP BEFORE EACH USE!
You can substitute the kukui nut oil with hazelnut oil if you like, but it must be refrigerated and made in very small batches as the shelf life is not very long.  I chose kukui nut oil to replace it for preservative purposes, and find it works just as well. 

If you are pregnant or breast feeding, DO NOT use the rosemary or geranium oils, they can be toxic to babies.  I replace geranium with lavender oil and rosemary with bay leaf oil in this recipe when I make it for this reason.

Hope this helps someone save some money and their skin :

You should also try Clinique Repairwear Day SPF 15 Lotion. It exfoliates ALL layers of dead skin, no matter how thick and still maintains the suppleness of facial skin. your skin will really glow. This is one product that works so well for black girls because of how black skin easily thickens when exposed to the environment, especially sun!!!! In fact, most white(caucasian) and asian girls use this for only about one to three weeks because the AHAs and BHAs in it are SO effective it take off dead surface cells faster for them - the sensitive ones say their skin even starts to smart in the sun after two weeks!!

If ure looking for THAT glow, this is your product. The price may seem steep at first but u probably have to use it twice a day only in the first few weeks. When u get your glow u can use only at night or whatever works for u. And anyway, I can guarantee that this is one product that will make u trash like HALF of your other products. All u need with this is cleanser and toner - simple!! it is DEFINITELY worth your while !!!! --------------AND IT CONTAINS SUNSCREEN!!!!!!!!!!

palmers cocoa butter formular with vitamin e      is the bomb,  no harmful chemicals
also venus skin tone creme is very ok!!

hello house,i am chocolate in colour,please can any one tell me the cream and the soap that will match my skin?
