Kate Somerville’s At Home Facial Demonstration

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/v/tYyh-ax6Qnk&rel=1"]I have only heard positive reviews about Kate Somerville’s skincare line.  In this video, Kate is demonstrating her own homemade facial recipies and techniques.   I love how easy and simple this facial is!

All of the ingredients for this facial can be found at your local grocery store: 

• plain yogurt (lactic acid for chemcial exfoliation) 
• ground flax seed meal (for physical exfoliation)
• Brewer’s yeast - eliminates oils, stimulates skin cell, and kills bacteria
• avocado - provides natural oils, moisturizer

Kate describes that we have different “Eco Systems” of the Skin. 

• Only use the Brewer’s yeast mask where you have acne and are oily.  
• Kate does not recommend using avocado directly onto acne-prone skin; only use on areas of your face where you are dry and needing moisture.

Caution:  Natural products can sometimes cause skin allergies, always do a patch test, and do not try new products like these shortly before a big outing or event (like your wedding, a big date, or the Oscars)!

Have fun with this homemade facial and let me know how things go!
