Black Eucalyptus Soft Soap - Moroccan Beldi
This soap is a vegetable paste made from natural oils. For my soap I used:
- Olive Oil,
- Palm-kernel Oil,
- Castor Oil,
- Cocoa Butter,
- Cocos Butter,
- milled Eucalyptus leaves,
- EO: Eucalyptus, Laurel.
It is in the black beldi form of a slurry becomes smooth in contact with water.
This soap is really a magic cream what offers purification, gentle scrub, nourishing, comprehensive skin care and wonderful fragrance.
The Beldi is a mild natural exfoliant that removes skin impurities, removes toxins and purifies the skin surface. It has soothing and softening properties.
Before applying soap, your skin should always be hot, so let the jet flow of hot water a few minutes before applying. Take a ball about 3 cm in the palm of your hand and massage for five minutes your body, use it as a scrub. Once the scrub soap done, you will get rid of dead skin cells and you will find a soft and silky skin.

Massage Oil
There are many different types of massage oils available.
After my study all of them I decide to use two of the best carrier oils:
After my study all of them I decide to use two of the best carrier oils:
1. Grapeseed oil makes a great massage oil, it has a smooth, silky texture without being greasy. It is absorbed fairly well into the skin, but not too quickly. This makes it an ideal choice for an ingredient of massage oil. Grapeseed oil is "long" oil, rich source of omega-6, vitamin E. Helps mature, damaged, tired, stressed skin.
2. Jojoba oil has antibacterial properties and contains long chain wax esters that closely resembles skin sebum. Antioxidant, conditioning, reach in vitamins and minerals. It is very well-absorbed, is not irritating to skin, is "medium" oil.

To choice of Essential Oils depends on the purpose of massage. Would you like to relax and get a portion of energy?
So, these EO will help: Mandarin, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lemongrass, Sweet Orange.

Homemade Calendula Macerated Oil
I am able to grow calendula myself and learn to use this wonderful flower for my own cosmetic products. I love the Calendula toner and use it almost daily. The ice cubes from Calendula toner is perfect product to reduce wrinkles :).
I made my first Calendula macerated oil from fresh flowers and grapeseed oil by cold infusion method. Unfortunately it was not success, probably too much water in flowers provoked the fermentation process.
Based on my experience I made the macerated Calendula oil from good dry flowers and sweet almond oil. The oil has to stay on sunny place to infuse for 4 weeks and I believe that this time it will be success.
For what do I need the Caledula macerated oil? To make lotion, creams, soap, body oil, to apply it to specific problem areas where might be a dry skin, inflammations, or rashes.
20/08/2013: My macerated Calendula oil is ready! Nice sunny color and excellent quality.Tuesday, July 30, 2013
Real face age
If you want to be beautiful "forever" you need to know your face. Remove your makeup and use the camera. Try to make three photos of your face:
- keep the camera directly above your face (it is the photo of your face five years ago);
- keep the camera in front of your face (it is present, your actually face);
- keep the camera below your face (future, photo of your face five years later).
These photos help to analyze a tendency of changing of your face and focus on symmetrical forms, sagging parts, wrinkles.
I know I need to lose weight and my photos show this very clear. Brrr... this duble chin makes me scary.
Also small wrinkles around my eyes need more attention.
Left side of the face with more dropping corners means that begins sagging first. So left face muscles need to make more effort: to chew on the left side, to apply a massage.
