BEAUTY&FASHION

Hello everyone!



I really hope you guys are enjoying our blog so far :) I've written 5 posts so far. I've been enjoying myself writing a blog about fashion and beauty!

Okay, today I would like to write about BB creams and CC creams. I would like to introduce you all here what's good/bad about BB creams and CC creams and what types of skin are suitable for each cream!


First of all.... BB and CC creams? What are they?
Whether you're using either of the products or not... do you know what BB and CC stand for though? 



BB Cream : Blemish/Beauty Balm Cream



CC Cream : Color Collecting/Complexion Cream

(They're two different definitions!)

I know what you wanna ask....


BB and CC??

Confusing, confusing, confusing...

How are they different!?



BB Creams are basically makeups that actually make your skin better :) BB creams can provide the least amount of coverage similar to a sheer foundation along with some extra perks, like sun protection, skin lightening, and anti-aging ingredients—a type of all-in-one product for daytime! They're lighter than foundation but heavier than tinted moisturizers.


It is suitable for..... younger women whose skin needs light coverage! It covers skin imperfections such as scars and blemishes.



Any recommendations for BB Creams?

CC Creams corrects color-related skin issues like redness or sallowness (usually with light-diffusing particles). CC cream is a color corrector and lighter than BB cream. CC cream can make your skin natural and easy to take make-ups off!



It is suitable if your skin is... acne-prone, dull and oily and have dark sports and constant redness



Any recommendations for CC Creams?

Hello friends !!

Today, I'm going to share with one of my own favourite do-it-yourself facial mask/scrub. It can simply be used as an exfoliant or a face mask or even both ! It's made purely with all natural and organic ingredients and contains no little hidden nasty chemicals. This mask/scrub is great for all skin types and will leave your skin feeling soft and rejuvenated. It is also a great alternative to the expensive skincare treatments; you can do this in the comfort of your own home. Sounds good ? Let's get started !


The Avocado and Green Tea scrub/mask

Image Source:Wiki About

• Avocado contains high amounts of Vitamin B12 and fatty acids which is great in helping replenish and moisturise your skin.
• Green tea is calming as it has antioxidant properties which helps fight the free radicals in our skin, reduce redness, contains detoxifying qualities to flush out the toxins.
• Lemon contains AHAs and BHAs which helped clear up acne and removes dead skin cells.
• Turmeric Powder is a fantastic exfoliating agent to help reduce wrinkles and has anti-bacterial properties to help soothe inflammation 

What You Will Need:

• half an avocado 
• a organic green tea tea bag
• half a lemon
• half a table spoon of turmeric powder
• clean makeup brush or hands to apply
• a small mixing bowl

How To Make it:

1. Cut up an avocado and scoop half of it into a bowl.
2. Freshly brew a hot cup of green tea and wait for it to steep for a few minutes.
3. Strain the tea bag and empty the tea leaves into the bowl.
4. Add the juice of half a fresh lemon.
5. Pour a teaspoon of turmeric powder into the mixture.
6. Mix and mash all the ingredients well in the bowl.
7. Apply a thin and even layer on clean, dry skin.
8. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes.
9. After 10-15 minutes, use circular motions to gently scrub the mask off your skin, this helps exfoliate your skin too.
10. Rinse off with warm water and pat skin dry with a clean towel.

Scoop out the avocado

Cut open the tea bag

Empty tea leaves into the bowl

Squeeze that lemon juice on there

Add some turmeric powder

Mix and mash all the ingredients together

Looks terrible but it's full of all that goodness

The mask is on !!

I would recommend steaming your face first (pour hot water in a bowl and place your face over it, drapping a towel over your head to allow the steam onto your face) to open up your pores and let the scrub work its magic.

And Voilà, you're done! My skin felt really soft and supple after letting the mask sit and scrubbing it off !

Hope you enjoyed this DIY mask and scrub !
