1. extra virgin olive oil
i have read reviews on makeupalley claiming that EVOO will clear skin, heal cracked heels (hehe), remove makeup/moisturize face, most say it does not cause breakouts. i am a little scared to put it on my face because its a thick oil, but i will try it for the purpose of science.
as a foot treatment:
i applied about half a teaspoon to each foot and then followed with a pair of socks.
first impression: the smell is making me hungry.
an hour later: my feet are extremely soft, i would even go as far as to say they are fetish worthy.
as a facial moisturizer:
first impression: i put a dime size into my palm and rubbed it on my face, it doesnt feel as thick and greasy as i thought it would. my skin feels really soft, but i am debating leaving it on or washing it off after like 15 minutes..
in their reviews people on makeupalley claimed that it "dissolved blackheads"..that has yet to be seen..
5 min later: my pores actually do look clearer and my face has yet to become irritated, so i think i will leave it on and update in like an hour or so.
overall: my skin tone was more even, and i liked it, but i would use it at night only.
eyelash treatment:
some say that if you coat your eyelashes with EVOO they become thicker and grow longer.
meh, i'll try it, what do i have to lose.
2. aspirin face mask
ingredients:
3-4 UNCOATED aspirin
1/2 tablespoon of honey
enough luke warm water to make aspirin dissolve without being too watery
first impression: i first made this mask with too much water and when i added the honey it was very watery, so i didn't do it exactly right...but the mix is on my face..it smells weird.
may have not made the mask correctly but as a scrub it feels good.
results?: after leaving it on for 10 minutes, i used my clarisonic to get it loose, then washed my face with a cleanser.
my skin feels really soft, but a bit tight/dry around my jawline and forehead.
overall: the water/aspirin ratio is a bit tricky, but i would definitely use this again and see if i could get some long-term results.
*it has been like 2 hours since i wrote this. looking back it is kinda randumb, but i will post it anyways aha.
