Sweet, Syrupy, Beautiful Skin ☺

Speaking of Syrup (teeheehee), I'm craving for a super-huge plate of waffles this morning, smothered in organic syrup and topped with strawberries and bananas. Mmmmm hmmmm. If you've checked out my veggie blog, http://www.healthyhappysexy.blogspot.com/, you've already figured out that I am a vegetarian, or have attempted to be one, for the past five years. I believe and LIVE by the quote "your health is your wealth". I even have a super cool recipe for women/men who are suffering from common acne and dark spot problems on their face. I went through a stressful time in my life, as most of us imperfect humans do, and woke up one day with the worst breakout in the galaxy! No kidding! My skin was untouchable. I looked for answers, I researched. Tried ProActive (yucky! do not get addicted to this company!). Tried scrubs. Even tried the whole "wash your face 30 times a day" thing. Didn't work. Out of curiousity, I pulled out the Indian remedy for fantastic skin, Turmeric. I went with my gut, blended lemon & honey in the mix, & made a face mask 3 times a week. I washed with soap and Turmeric everyday for a month. My pimples mysteriously disappeared, my skin was smoother, brighter, and younger looking. I was so excited, I tried a remedy for whiter teeth (whitening strips are YUCKY!).....baking soda and lemon (no worries! baking soda takes the acid right out of lemon).  Walked outside and went on my usual trip to the grocery store, and had so many compliments on my face, teeth, and skin I almost felt like a CELEBRITY! And no, I am not over-exaggerating! Nature does the body good.!! Here is my own personal recipe for you lovebugs out there who are tired of spending so much money to keep up with your skin!!! 

You can find turmeric at your local grocery. It's yellow, VERY yellow! It's a very important spice from India & also used in India for youthful looking skin. 

You will need:
1 Tsp. Turmeric
1 Tsp. Honey
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice

Mix together and spread over face as a facial mask.

Leave on for ten minutes, and rinse three times.  You don't want a yellow face all day!

After cleansing, use an organic moisurizer, preferrably pure shea or cocoa butter, to help even out skin tone. 

You can do this as much as you want, but turmeric does have lightening effects! So be careful. If you have dark skin and don't want it lightened, use once or twice a week. I only used this for blemishes and it worked wonderfully! Most of the time, without lemon, and it still worked ☺

To top off your look, dip your toothbrush in baking soda and squeeze lemon juice on top. Brush your teeth as usual for instant whitened teeth! I'm no expert, but this does work!! (Dr. Oz suggested it also!)

So, now that I've shared my secret for beautiful skin, I will let you go and experiment for yourself. Have fun LADIES and GENTS!
