DIY: Green Clay and Lemon Juice Beauty Mask for Oily Skin Types (With Video)


The easiest DIY face mask to help you control the oilness and the shine of your face!
You will just need 2 ingredients

Green Clay ( I bought mine from Ebay)                        Lemon Juice













Green Clay masks are quite powerful in their ability to refresh skin, make skin tone look healthier, make skin appear younger and get rid of oily luster. Green Clay masks are known to reduce visibility of pores, reduce skin inflammation and are used effectively for light skin-lifting (put Green Clay mixture in the fridge for a little while before use).
Due to its porous structure, Green Clay is a natural adsorbent, which literally removes all kinds of by-products our skin leaves behind or builds up inside of its layers, like oils, dirt and toxins.

Lemon Juice is great for skin as it diminishes scars and age spots, heals acne with its natural antibacterial properties, exfoliates, brightens the skin and tones oily skin.

So here is a video of what you have to do.It is very easy,you make the mixture by adding 1 tbsp of Green Clay and 5 tspn of lemon juice (you could mix it with water if you want do but lemon juice is much more helpful). Apply on your face and wait for it to dry; it usually takes 20'-30'.-If the odor annoys you,something that happens with me,add 2 drops of scented oil-You will feel it cleching when you try to speak or smile.Rinse well with your hands or a beauty sponge. DON'T FORGET TO MOISTURIZE.


 If you have a pretty oily skin i suggest using the mask at least twice a week. When you notice an improvement on your face,reduce it to once a week,than once in 2 weeks.

What do you think?Have you tried it and if not will you? 
Thank you for watching!

DIY: Olive Oil and Banana Moisturizing Hair Mask (With photos)

 Well, I've been searching for masks and treatments for dull hair! I knew that pure olive oil is moisturizing but i was afraid to try it because my hair tend to get oily pretty fast. I also knew that this amazing fruit, banana, has moisturizing, nourishing, soothing, softening properties and it is used for all kinds of beauty masks. And so i though, why not combine both?
As you can see, my hair is pretty dull and in poor condition ( yeah i need a haircut).
So, made the hair mask as such :
  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 1/2 banana
( This dosage was just fine for my hair length)

First, you mash the banana till it's creamy. Then you add the olive oil and you blend till the mixture looks like this :
With your hands you spread the mixture on your hair starting four fingers under your roots. Make sure that your hair, especially the tips, are dampened like this : 

Wrap your hair with a towel and stay for 1 to 2 hours.
Then rinse your hair very carefully to remove all the mixture and perhaps banana pieces.
I washed my hair with shampoo 2 times to be sure. For better results, you can use your conditioner ( i didn't because i had run out ).
  ( I really need a haircut  :P )             

 You can see the difference, shine and smooth!Αnd i haven't even straighten them. Plus they have this amazing banana-ish redolence :)
I use this mask once a week and i've seen great results. And for you who have oily hair and are afraid, DO NOT BE. It doesn't get them oily as i first believed.
I also do this, twice a week i soak my tips in olive oil and leave it for 1 hour. It really makes a difference. Your hair get stronger, shinier and harder to split ends.

So, would you try it? And if you have, what are your impressions?
Thank you for reading!
