Give Your Booty A Facial. No Really.

Having a nice, smooth, supple badonkadonk is important. Facials aren't just for the face. I can't stress this enough, take care of the skin on your entire body! How can you drop that thang like it's hot if it's dry, neglected and hasn't been slathered with lotion since you were an infant?

What You need To Know:

 Coffee Grinds:

As we age, our body produces less collagen and elastin. The result: thinner, drier skin. Coffee (a known diuretic) grinds are a great ingredient to exfoliate your bum with because caffeine constricts blood vessels to make skin appear tighter. Caffeine pulls excess water out of the cells and temporarily minimizes the appearance of cellulite. Yay!

What You Need:

2 cups of coffee grinds
1/4 cup sea salt
3 tbsp of olive oil
2 tbsp honey

Directions:

Mix the ingredients together and get to scrubbing.

Hope This Helps

Cayenne Pepper:

Cayenne pepper is very potent. It encourages circulation, therefore increasing cell turnover to improve the skin's texture, smoothness and appearance.

What You Need:

¼ tsp powdered cayenne pepper

½ cup oatmeal (for texture)

½ cup full fat milk (the lactic acid in milk act as an exfoliant)

Directions:

Mix the ingredients together and get to scrubbing.

Got Chocolate Milk? Chocolate Milk Bath Recipe

For centuries women have been taking milk baths to improve the look and feel of their skin. Rumor has it that Cleopatra, Elizabeth I and Elisabeth of Bavaria were all great beauties who loved to soak in a tub full of milk. Ahhh...

Milk baths make the skin feel soft, silky and more resilient. Why? Because the lactic acid in milk acts similarly to the alpha hydroxy acids found in expensive skin creams.

Lactic acid dissolves the proteins that bind together dull, ashen, dead skin cells. A milk bath, in combination with an exfoliating loofah, will leave your skin feeling soft, silky and smooth. A milk bath with chocolate will make you feel like you're in heaven.


The thought sounds luxurious, doesn't it?




What You Will Need:

• 1 large mixing bowl
• 2 cups of powdered milk
• 1/4 cup of cocoa
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon, vanilla, mint or lavender. (Add just one drop at a time and stir it thoroughly into the powders before adding the next drop).

*Makes one bath treatment*   

And because the powdered milk contains lactic acid, which cleans oils and dirt from your skin, soap is unnecessary.

  

Enjoy.
