Jacques Roche Blog Skin 1


Cooling Cucumber Face Mist (For All Skin Types)

Cucumber is extremely soothing on the skin. For this face mist, grate one cucumber and strain the juice through a cheesecloth. Mix the juice with a tablespoon of rosewater, mint leaves, and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Place in a spray bottle. Spritz the mixture onto your face throughout the day.

Gentle Coffee Body Exfoliator for Tan Removal (For all Skin Types)

Why spend money on store-bought body scrubs? If you have coffee grounds at home, making this body scrub is a breeze. Mix a quarter cup of brown sugar, half a cup of coffee grounds, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, olive oil, a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil, and a tablespoon of sea salt. Store the mixture in a glass jar. Use this mixture as a body scrub.

Soothing Cucumber and Mint Eye Mask

A refreshing eye mask can instantly take all the tiredness away from your delicate eye area. For this easy eye mask, blend a few mint leaves, extract the juice, and mix with half a cup of cucumber juice. Add some rosewater to the mixture. Dip cotton pads in this mixture and place them on your eyes. If liked, you may place the soaked cotton pads in a Ziploc bag and refrigerate for 15 minutes before using them. You will love the cooling sensation of this eye mask.

Strawberry and Lemon Face Pack

If you love fruit face masks, you are going to love this one. Combine mashed strawberries with a tablespoon of yogurt, half a teaspoon of lemon juice, and honey. Apply this on your face as a face mask. Wash off when dry. Make sure that you dilute the lemon juice before using it on your skin. Since lemon makes the skin photosensitive, use sunscreen before you go out after using this face pack. Avoid lemon juice if you have sensitive skin.

Pore Tightening Egg White Face Mask

This is an easy homemade face mask. Add a teaspoon of orange juice and a pinch of turmeric powder to one beaten egg white. Apply this mask to your face. Let it dry for 15 minutes before washing it off.

It might not be summer, but you can still develop rashes and patches that will remain for a long time unless you take good care of your skin. These tips and recipes can help restore your skin’s natural balance and keep it well protected from the African sun.

LESSONS IN MINDFULNESS FROM THE TAO OF POOH

It’s nearly four decades since Benjamin Hoff released his bestseller, The Tao of Pooh. The book focused on Taoist life lessons. Taoism is a philosophy with its origins in China. Taoism teaches listeners how to live in harmony with the universe. Benjamin did show that practitioners are not automatically wise women and men from the Far East. Rather, the real master of Tao was Winnie the Pooh. The Tao of Pooh offers precious life lessons that truly resonate with our new reality. The central character of the book is Winnie the Pooh. Winnie personifies the Taoist belief of non-action or merely being. Like Piglet, Owl, Tigger, and Eeyore, other characters represent the human  predisposition to overcomplicate things in life. Taoism: Tao means ‘path’ or ‘way,’ and Taoism has its roots in an ancient book written in about the 3rd century BC −Tao Te Ching (The Way and its Power) by  Laozi;. However, some believe the book was written by different authors. Still, in simple terms, the philo...

A bathroom can be expensive to decorate, but it can also add much value to your property. However, if you need to correct mistakes, not only could the renovations upset your budget, but also can greatly reduce any rate of return on your investment. The best option, therefore, is to plan your bathroom with professionals, such as bathroom designers, who can advise you on quality tiles and fittings, and make recommendations for reliable tilers and plumbers.

If, for instance, your main bedroom already sports the Mediterranean style, you might want that style flowing into your bathroom, creating a connection between the two spaces. 1 The choice between classic and modern Deciding between a modern bathroom, or a classic interpretation of the Mediterranean style will depend on your own preference. It will also be determined by the loo...
