Need a natural moisturizer? Cucumbers are good for moisturizing of the skin. Cucumbers contain compounds known to tighten pores and reduce inflamation. Puree one tbsp of each cucumber and parsley, blend in 1 tbsp of plain yogurt and create a mask around your face and leave in for 15-20 min. Rinse with luke warm water.

Oatmeal is a great exfoliant and moisturizer. Oats are good for wind worn skin and itchy skin. Finely ground oatmeal draws impurities from the skin, stimulates circulation and encourages new cell growth. Make an oats mask, mix with 2 tbsp  of aloe vera, 2 tbsp of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Gently massage onto damp skin, rinse with warm water.

Peaches are a great exfoliant! Peaches get rid of dead cells and a great source of vitamin A and C to nourish new cells. Peach juice helps unblock pores and prevent from blemishes and may even lighten age spots and minimize wrinkles. Slice up a piece of peach and massage its flesh on to your skin. Leave juice on for 20 minutes and rinse.

You’ve seen Lady Gaga do it! And you know you thought it was cute. But maybe you didn’t want to go as BIG as Gaga did. So here’s a small tutorial I found on Pinterest for a cute small hair bow.

Step 4: Secure with bobby pins.
