A beautiful face in a flash- beiginning of week two

I am sitting writing this entry with a stiffy. Too much info?

Well, it's a stiff face actually. As I wanted to make this week to be all-about-the face I have decided to try a mask that my best friend recommended - an egg white face mask. Couldn't be easier or cheaper: take one egg white, mix and brush onto face. Wait until it stiffens and wash off with cool water (not hot or you'll end up with scrambled egg on your face!) It does feel cool and it gives me a really good tight face - shame about my bum though....wonder how many eggs it would take to stiffen that up!

I feel that my face needs a LOT of attention. In the last few years I have seen my skin become really floppy and lose it's glow. And I have really lost my way as in what products to use. I have been asking friends and family -what should I use? what would be good for my skin? and more importantly, how much does it cost????

The Kardashian sisters talk about consistency in looking after your skin - cleanse and moisturise day and night, use products from the same range to complement each other and use treatments on a regular basis. Since before I had my son I decided to use only natural products and I have to admit, I have watched my skin go downhill. I do not only blame the products, I have had major stress in my life as well however I really have lost my way with the variety of cleansers, moisturisers and treatments on the market. I decide to take the scientific approach. I open a magazine and the first revitalising, toning and firming product I see I will buy....

According to the magazine, the product I chose is the number product for firming skin worldwide....fair choice I would say.

My best friend is a connosieur of beauty products - if a product has been released, she has tried it. She has been looking for the holy grail in skincare for over 2 years. But there is only one thing she swears by for a glowing complexion. And that, my friends, is something called the Healthy Skin Diet. There is a website and a book - and it is all very interesting. However, I don't want to give up on my meal replacement powder as I am feeling great on them and have lost some weight. So, I will add Chlorophyl to my diet AND drink 3 litres of water a day AND add oily fish and berries to my one meal a day......Let's see how that goes.

I am feeling a difference doing this Trash to K'Dash - even if it is just in my confidence levels. Some people may think that spending all this time on myself and being just a little bit obsessed with looking good is a waste of time and truthfully. a little selfish. This is something I never thought I would do - let alone document in a blog. Yet I am enjoying pampering myself, enjoying trying out new products and enjoying spending a little time on just myself.

And I'm enjoying writing about it.....now to just wash this goo off and swig that Chlorophyl. Oh, the things I do for my art!
