Oily Hippie= Perfect Skin

As much as I love makeup, I’ve definitely missed the whole skincare boat, perhaps because Ive never really had too much to complain about when it comes to spots.  All our skin looks better on holiday because we use less products and have the natural goodness of the sun, sea and less pollution. Although I haven’t been too successful in bringing the sun and sea to London I can save my skin from the confusion of hundreds of ingredients.

Olive oil is my favourite weekly/twice a week face treatment, obviously it is completely natural and shockingly works better than anything else I have tried.

You will need:

Extra virgin olive oil

Towel/Flannel

Cotton wool

1. Pour a ‘50p’ sized amount of oil into your hand and rub between your hands to warm the oil up to body temperature.
2. Then firmly massage in circular motions onto your face, this remove any dirt/makeup etc. on the skins surface.
3. Next wet your towel/flannel with hot water  and hold the steaming towel over your face for a minute, this will open your pores and allow the oil to lift any dirt preventing spots and pimples.
4. Then use dry cotton wool to remove the oil and water.
5. I will usually do this process again for a deeper cleanse.

Surprisingly this treatment really does not leave your face like a big greaseball, the oil is removed with the steam from the hot towel and just left feeling soft and healthy. However, I wouldn’t use this treatment more than once a week because you do not want to effect the skins natural oil balance.
