DIY Pineapple/Papaya Enzyme Mask

This easy-to-blend mask has just a few simple ingredients. I love using pineapple and papaya, which are both natural sources of enzymes. This recipe is ideal for gentle exfoliation of dead skin cells and to give you a beautiful, natural glow!

1/2 cup organic pineapple
1/2 cup papaya
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
squeeze of fresh lime

Cleanse face with a warm washcloth. Apply this gentle enzyme mask and leave on skin for about 15-20 minutes. Rinse to reveal soft, smooth skin!

Can’t get enough – natural salt baths ♥

Natural Salt Baths

When talking about the benefits of salts baths we’re always surprised by how many beauties aren’t taking salt baths on a regular basis. Does taking time to relax in a warm tub seem too decadent? Too sinful?

We think of mineral-rich salt baths as much more than a luxury! We use them as a part of our regimen to relax, de-stress, soothe sore muscles and condition our skin.The high mineral content (calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper and more) helps us relax and makes a warm bath feel like a guilty pleasure, even when it’s not.

Reasons to consider a warm salt bath:
*Less calories than chocolate
*Less sugar than a glass of wine
*Less expensive than a massagePink Himalayan and Dead Sea salts are on sale at http://www.makeminebodycare.com this month. Any two salts $40, regularly $50. Online only.
