5 Sensational Natural Repairing Homemade Face Mask Recipes

We all have those days when we wake up and feel like our skin is not its usual plump, rosy glowing self and instead it’s a parched, dull and tired looking version to match how the rest of us feels. Hectic lifestyles and harried work and family commitments have left us with hardly any time to wash our skin, let alone look after it.

Environmental factors, pollution and toxins from a modern lifestyle, along with bad food choices, not enough whole foods, too much junk food, wine and too little water, along with a good dose of sun, are enough to make anyone’s skin make you look older than you really are.

There are however, plenty of ingredients that you can find in your pantry to mix together to make superb and rejuvenating homemade face masks that will restore your skin to a glowing, healthier version that is even better than its former glory. 1)

Natural Exfoliating Face Mask

This face mask is perfect for pumping your skin full of anti-oxidants and scrubbing off old, dull and flaky skin, leaving your skin protected, repaired and glowing with health.

Mix together:

• 1 tbsp. honey
• 1 tbsp. yogurt
• 1 tbsp. molasses
• A generous helping of crushed berries
• 1 tbsp. paw, pineapple and kiwi fruit - crushed

Apply to freshly washed and damp skin in a generous layer and leave on for no longer than 10 minutes. The natural stimulants and enzymes pack a powerful punch and act as a natural chemical peel. Emulsify off, rinse well and moisturize immediately afterwards. 2)

Oily Skin Face Mask

Two egg whites – whipped into stiff peaks Half a freshly squeezed lemon or a few tablespoons of lemon juice Just before you are ready to apply the mask, briskly whisk in the lemon juice to the egg white – as it will separate if you leave it in the bowl too long. Get into a nice hot bath after washing your face. Allow the steam to work its magic and start opening up your pores. Apply the mask generously over the face and neck. This mask will give oily skin a zingy wakeup call and help to cleanse away excess oil build up. The natural cleansing ingredients in the lemon can be drying to your skin if the mask is left on too long, so don’t leave it on for any more than 10 minutes. And make sure you moisturize well afterwards. 3)

Hydrating Avocado Face Mask

Mash up half a ripe avocado and add in:

• 1 tbsp. heavy cream
• 1 tbsp. honey
• 1 tbsp. coconut oil or almond oil or you can even use olive oil
• 1 tbsp. mayonnaise or yogurt
• 1 egg yolk (optional)

This is a very nourishing mask and if you want to make it richer, just adjust the levels of oil that you mix into the avocado. You can even add in 1 tsps. of avocado oil on top of everything else.

You can leave this mask on for up to half an hour, and then cleanse and moisturize after washing it off. 4)

Sun Damage – A rejuvenating face mask – no rinse

Mix together the following oils: Equal amounts of carrot seed oil, olive oil, sea buckthorn oil, walnut oil and avocado oil – about a tablespoon of each.

Add in a blend of 2 tbsp. of rose hip oil, calophyllum or tamanu oil and coconut oil.

Sun damaged or mature skin desperately needs oils that are rich in fatty acids and regenerative qualities. The firming properties found in anti-aging oils such as carrot and walnut oils will provide a rich base that will repair and replenish tired and aging skin.

Keep this combination of oils on hand in a bottle and apply it to the neck, face, bust area, arms, and hands – wherever it is needed – twice a day. It can be applied underneath day and night creams and will soak into the skin and does not need to be rinsed off. 5)

Healthy Glow Scrub Face Mask

Mix together:

• 1 tbsp. brown sugar
• 1 tbsp. Honey
• 1 tbsp. oatmeal – finely ground or almond meal
• 1 tbsp. molasses
• ¼ tbsp. baking powder or salt
• 1 tbsp. almond oil
• 1 tbsp. avocado oil for dry skins OR 1 tbsp. lime juice, lemon juice or grapefruit juice for oily skins
• If it is too dry, add some yogurt or olive oil to the mix

Apply generously to your freshly washed skin. Rub gently in circles – clockwise first then anti clockwise and leave on for 5 minutes. Rinse well by emulsifying and rubbing gently to remove dead skin cells and gently exfoliate the skin. It can also help to lighten scars and reveal a fresh, glowing and healthy skin. You can use it all over your body up to 3 times a week – just moisturize with your favorite moisturizer afterwards.

Mental Health Support for Students

Mental Health as a Student

One in four people will experience some form of mental health issue this year. So if you’re feeling isolated, embarrassed or alone and it’s stopping you from getting help, try to realise that mental health issues are so much more common than you would think.

Your university days can be some of the most fun and rewarding of your life, but they can also cause a lot of stress and anxiety, exacerbating underlying mental health conditions.

Students understandably feel pressure to perform given the less than promising job prospects they face. Many are worried about the debts they’re racketing up and some students struggle with loneliness after being suddenly plucked from their home and their support network of friends and family.

Most students aren’t taking enough care of themselves either. Student life often involves eating unhealthy food, not doing enough exercise and drinking heavily, which can be a depressant in itself.

A new survey by the National Union of Students (NUS) has found that 26 per cent of the students they spoke to don’t get any treatment for their mental health and even fewer make use of their university’s counselling services.

So what help is available?

Help for students

• Get moving

Although going for a run is the last thing you feel like when you’re feeling blue, it’s exactly what your body needs. This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week which took place in early May focused on the benefits exercise can bring to people suffering from a mental health issue.

Exercising releases endorphins into our body (happy chemicals), flooding us with instant feel-good chemicals naturally. And exercising in a group gives you the added benefit of interacting and bonding with people, so try to sign up for a team sport or join a running group instead of flying solo.

Most universities have sports clubs and gyms on-site which are either free to join or are subsidised, so why not make use of them?

• Speak to somebody

As the NUS survey has found, most university counselling services are underused. But they can be an invaluable source of support when you need it most, without long waiting times. Most offer free support in group or individual sessions to help you work out some of your problems or cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT); a technique that has helped many people address negative thought patterns. As well as providing you with a listening ear, they could even give you practical help by speaking to your tutor or another university department.

If you have a persistent mental health problem, you should speak to your GP about your issues. They may prescribe you something if they feel it’s appropriate or refer you to the right person.

If you don’t feel ready to speak to somebody face to face, you could call a counselling helpline (which is often included in many health cash plans) if you’d like to talk things over anonymously with a trained medical professional.

There are also some great charities which can provide you with a bit of extra support. The Samaritans are always on the line to hear you out, but they are staffed by well-meaning volunteers, not trained counsellors or psychiatrists. And mental health charity Mind’s website is full of resources to help you understand your condition more while their network of volunteers across Britain can help you with anything from getting a job while living with a mental illness to arranging for you to speak to someone.

Have you or someone you know been affected by mental illness?

9 Rules For a Stress-Free Life

You’ll likely be able to resolve your stress much more productively.

See the Positives

Seeing the positive aspects of what is around you can help to relieve stress for many. This will help you to change your perspective and remember what you're thankful for, in spite of the negatives.

Avoid the Negatives

Once you have determined what is positive in your life, you might want to assess the negative forces at work as well. When able to, avoid these particular things. They could be people, certain places, or situations that you know won't lead to anything positive.

Reconnect with Friends

Healthy relationships can go a long way to help you manage or even eliminate stress. Not only can they be great sounding boards, they can help you find solutions for what's stressing you. They can also provide a much-needed positive aspect to a life marred by stress.

Get a Hobby

Hobbies are great stress-relievers, because they allow you to pour your stress into something productive that you enjoy doing. This can take your mind off of what ails you, increase your confidence and provide a lift to any day in which you participate in it.

Have Some Fun

It won't kill you to get out there and live a little. You just might find that by adding a little fun into the rotation, that old enemy stress has less time to bother you.

Someone Else's Stress

A good thing to remember is not to take on someone else's stress, because it doesn't help either one of you. If a friend or family member has issues of their own, help them to determine how to alleviate their woes without making them yours as well.

Out of Your Hands

Some stressors are just out of your control. Learn how to differentiate between things you can change and thing you can't. You cannot dwell on the things that are out of your hands, as hard as that is to understand.

Dramatic Changes

Sometimes you might find yourself at crossroads, where you need to make a dramatic change for yourself. If your job is too much to deal with, or whatever the case might be, it might be time to take a new path that keeps you from being bogged down with stress. If you can manage, it might be worth taking the time to figure things out before jumping into anything.

Redirection

Channel your stress into something that makes you work harder for what you are aiming for. For example, you could redirect the stress to focus on your job and earn an upcoming promotion you've been eying.

Weight loss story - Transformation Tuesday with Eli Sapharti

You know how much you all inspire me, some of you send me daily messages that I inspire you. It's all a circle of love and for that I am truly humbled and I absolutely love what I do.

This next story will blow your mind. A dear new friend of mine, who I only just recently met, has ONE inspiring and amazing journey. He has recently launched his first book "One Step At A Time" and has been kind enough to offer one as a giveaway to one of my lucky readers.

Let me introduce you to this gorgeous man Eli.......

Fat Boy Fit Man BOOK NOW AVAILABLE

1. How old are you and please can you share your health and fitness journey to date? 

In August I will be 44 yr old. 

My name is Eli Sapharti, aka FAT Boy FIT Man. Five years ago I weighed in at almost 140kg (300 pounds) and suffered with many ailments associated with obesity including high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, severe anxiety and depression. I suffered with obesity much of my life and as many of us that have battled with being overweight, tried almost every diet in existence and even "joined" the gym quite a few times, which is not the same as GOING

to the gym and actually exercising.

After many failed attempts at these, in 2008 I had an epiphany while traveling on business. I was at the airport in Miami and before boarding my flight, I went to buy a bottle of water. The clerk at the kiosk, a cute girl, said to me "You're really good looking for a BIG guy." Most obese guys would have taken that as a compliment. All I heard was "You're FAT!".
The entire trip I kept hearing her voice saying "You're FAT! You're FAT!" I was disgusted with myself. It's not like I didn't know I was fat before, but at that moment it just HIT me!

As I thought about all my previous failed attempts is when I got my epiphany and realized that "dieting" and impulsive joining of a gym didn't work and was not going to work....EVER! That is when I decided to make 2 small changes to start to improve my life. First thing I committed to was walking for 15 minutes EVERYDAY. And I also committed to stop drinking the 2 litres of regular soda I was accustomed to drinking everyday for at least 1 week. At the end of that week, with just those 2 changes, I lost 2 pounds. I was ecstatic! 2 pounds lost with just these "small" changes? WOW! This is how I came up with my "One Step at a Time" approach to weight loss success.

I am now a FIT 81kg (180 pounds). My walking 15 minutes has turned to running half marathons at a respectable 1:44 finish time, I have transformed my body from obese and sick to fit and healthy. But the most important change for me has been that I have found my passion in helping to inspire, motivate and help others achieve their own weight loss success. 

"One Step at a Time" through my weight loss coaching and my motivational speaking. I have recently published a book that will be officially released on June 2, 2013, but it is already available on Amazon.com and Amazon.uk  "From Fat Boy to Fit Man-A One Step at a Time- Story of Success"  It is my wish that those who read the book will find inspiration, motivation, hope and most of all they should know that they are not alone in their journey to a healthier life.

2. What types of foods did you used to eat as a kid and young adult?

I didn't reach a body weight of almost 300 lbs from eating vegetables and fruits.  As a child AND as an adult I ate everything from sugary cereals, potato chips, LOTS of pasta with LOTS of cheese, french fries, fast foods, A LOT of bread, ICE CREAM (My kryptonite even until today) and the worst thing in my old way of eating has to be the 2 liters of regular SUGARY soda (soft drinks) that I would have DAILY!  YUCK!

-What has changed since then?

SO much has changed from 5 years ago!  I slowly started making changes "One Step at a Time" in 2008 that has lead me to a much more conscious way of eating.  I most definitely do NOT drink any soda anymore, I do NOT eat fast foods and I am careful about my sugar intake.  Everything else, I enjoy in moderation and only OCCASIONALLY.   

3. Do you play any sports or what sports do you like watching?

I love watching NBA basketball.  GO MIAMI HEAT!  As far as practicing a sport, I am an avid runner with MANY 5K, 10K and Half Marathons under my belt.  I am currently training to run my first FULL Marathon!

- favourite workout?

Besides running, I also weight train at the gym.  I am a firm believer that weight/resistance training is VERY important in order to burn fat and build muscle tone.  Many folks make the mistake of doing ONLY cardio and although they lose weight, they do not necessarily lose fat.  My favorite body parts to work out are my chest, biceps and shoulders.  

4. What are your interests, passion and what makes you smile?

I have varied interests, ranging from outdoor activities to wine tastings, but my passion lies in being able to help others realize their potential to succeed through my coaching and public speaking.  It makes me smile BIG when I receive a message, a call or an email from someone telling me how I have helped to guide them towards a new healthier life.

But the thing that makes me smile the BIGGEST are my 3 amazing children!  They bring so much pride and joy to my life!

5. What was the catalyst that sparked your lifestyle change?

In 2008, I had what many people call an epiphany of sorts.  I relate the entire story in detail in my book.  (I'd hate to ruin it for those who haven't read it yet)  :-)

6. What are some of your dreams/goals you hope to achieve over the next 12 months?

My dream is to see people changing their lives and getting healthier and happier with themselves.  I dream to help end  the obesity epidemic worldwide.  

In the nest 12 months I look forward to traveling to promote my book and spread my message of hope and inspiration through my speaking and teaching of the "One Step at a Time" approach to weight loss and fitness.

7. What tips would you like to share with my readers about your transformation?

There are MANY tips I could share, but I would have to say that the most important thing in order to succeed at weight loss and fitness is to break down the seemingly impossible into possibilities.  Do not take an ALL or NOTHING approach, instead take things "One Step at a Time".  The famous Buddhist philosopher Lao Tzu said it best with this quote: "The journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step."

What Every Man Should Know Before A Cosmetic Procedure

Think only women obsess over their looks? Think again. With more men opting to go under the knife, it’s important to separate fact from fiction.

What Every Man Should Know Before a Cosmetic Procedure

For years, women and their looks have been under the microscope, scrutinized at every turn. Men seemingly escaped the pressure said to age like a fine wine. However, more men are turning to cosmetic surgery to regain their youthful looks. Before the first cut, know what’s true and what’s false.

Myth #1 – Men only get surgery on their bodies; they don’t mess with their faces.

False. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2011, the top five male cosmetic procedures were:

1. Nose reshaping (rhinoplasty) – 62,000 procedures
2. Eye Lid Surgery – 29,000 procedures
3. Liposuction – 23,000 procedures
4. Breast Reduction – 20,000 procedures
5. Facelift – 11,000 procedures

Only 317 pectoral implants were performed in 2011. Chin implants are also on the rise with a 76% increase from 2010 to 2011. It seems “rugged” is no longer a good look for men.

Myth #2 - To get rid of man “boobs”, just lose weight.

False. Enlarged breast tissue in men actually has a medical name. It’s known as gynecomastia. And losing weight isn’t always the answer to get rid of them. Even with weight loss, male breast reduction is often needed to return breast tissue back to its natural appearance. Weight gain is one reason for it, but it can also be caused by genetics, hormones, and medications. While a man having breasts can be embarrassing, it isn’t physically harmful.

Myth #3 – Men who receive plastic surgery are vain.

There will always be those who seek cosmetic surgery for vanity reasons, but not all men opt for procedures just for their looks. There are several medical reasons for cosmetic surgery. For example, while gynecomastia itself is not an issue, it may be a catalyst for an underlying medical issue such as cirrhosis or testicular cancer. Rhinoplasty may be necessary if a man has a broken nose and the bones don’t mend correctly, causing breathing issues. Men with a deviated septum may also need rhinoplasty as part of a sinus procedure.

Myth #4 – For a man, any plastic/cosmetic surgeon will do.

This myth can be dangerous. As with any other surgical procedure, time and care should be paid to who is going to be doing the work. Some men are notorious for just getting the least expensive item as long as it is functional. Men, this is not an area you want to skimp on. Find out how much your insurance will cover and be prepared for anything else out of pocket.
It is also important to know what type of training your surgeon has received. A board certified doctor is best to have, but be sure to know what they are truly certified in. Some surgeons may be certified in another specialty and ended up in plastic surgery. Cosmetic surgeons are not recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Be sure to look for a board certified plastic surgeon. There is a difference. Ask questions and don’t assume. You wouldn’t have a board certified orthopedic perform surgery on your liver would you?

Hello everyone, you may remember my post HERE about my surprise photo shoot? My lovely friends at Lorna Jane were super kind to let me wear their active gear for a photo shoot I was doing for Richard Branson.

I have signed up for something very amazing. Yes. It's truly amazing. I am riding with thousands of cyclists to conquer cancer once and for all.

Our sensational captain Klaus Bartosch along with other phenomenal cyclists are called THE VISION CRUSADERS. We are attempting something that has never been done before. We are all dreamers and I have been told I can't do this but you know what? I WILL DO THIS!!!! 200kms, 6 races nationwide (and New Zealand) and per person we need $2,500 per ride to enter the fundraiser. I will do Every. Single. Ride. The Grand Slam and need your support as I start my campaign.


Here they all are!!!!

So what's this cycling stuff really all about? Well here is a letter to the amazing man himself who inspired me as a young adult "Whatever business you are in, every company can shoot for the stars in their own way".

Sir Richard Branson will you come ride with us?

So here's me shooting for the highest star out there.....

Dear Sir Richard

My name is Daniela and I'm a fitness blogger based in Australia. My blog www.fitnessfoodandstyle.blogspot.com.au is only young and I've 80,000 people following me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter & Pinterest. I love that my food and fitness challenges are inspiring others worldwide to make great changes in their lives, much like reading your Screw it, Let's Do it did for me 7 years ago. Thank you!

Currently I'm involved in a massively exciting campaign to fight cancer, a cause I have great passion for. I've joined with an amazing team of cyclists - all ordinary people, some cancer survivors - and we are riding to rid the world of Cancer. It's a big and bold goal but our team is determined to make a difference through completing all 6 of the Ride to Conquer Cancer events being held across Australia and in New Zealand this year.

Our team -  Vision Crusaders Grand Slam - will ride in all 6 of the RTCC events this year which will mean more than 1200km,  pedaling over 12 days through August to November. Each rider has to raise at least $15,000 plus cover their travel costs, and to date there are 27 riders wanting to ride in the Grand Slam team. There's expected to be total of around 12,000 cyclists participate across the 6 rides. Awesome, don't you think?

During your visit here in Australia, I'm hoping that you might help us do what could become your biggest achievement yet, helping to rid the world of cancer! Can you imagine how wonderful a world with out cancer would be!

Completing the RTCC Grand Slam is a massive challenge and we already have some Virgin brands supporting us, but knowing that you are personally contributing your interest would ensure that we actually pull it off. Primarily what I am asking is to have your encouragement but cheekily this is an invitation to have you join us for one or all of these rides as a member of our Vision Crusaders Grand Slam team. Are you keen?

I do hope that this is something you might consider and I look forward to hearing from you.

Much love and friendship from Australia,
Daniela Stevens

PS: for those wondering why I am doing this? I don't want to be a statistic. I have had family members die and thankfully others survived. I need you to help me so we can raise as much ridiculous funds to conquer cancer once and for all. For those reading this and know of any sponsors that would love to personally sponsor me, please email me with the subject title: CHARITY SPONSORSHIP. I will love you FOREVER!!!!  dani@fitnessfoodandstyle.com.au
