Want a Natural Glow?

To shine in the evening, there are hundreds of creams and makeup BUT they are all more chemical than the other. Except at MCF of course;)

We have concocted a special holiday routine for you to shine from hair, complexion, and to your fingertips!

 

Let's start with the face

Two or three days before D-Day, plan to do a little scrub with fruit acids. Do not do it the same day because small imperfections could point the tip of their nose right after.

The morning of D-day is mission " deep hydration ". After cleansing your skin with an ultra-rich soap or cleansing oil, prepare to receive a hydrating mask. For that, nothing beats a small inhalation for the greatest happiness of your senses and your skin:

1) The ingredients:        

• 1 bowl, preferably in wood.
• 3 cups of water.
• Dried herbs of chamomile, blueberry, sage and calendula.
• Cornflower and rose petals.
• 3 drops of essential oil of rose, bergamot or neroli (your choice).

 2) The stages:

• Boil water.
• Pour into the bowl.
• Add the dry herbs, the petals and the 3 drops of essential oil of your choice.
• Bring face to bowl (not too close) and cover head with towel.
• Stay like this for 5 to 10 minutes.

And the magic happens! The plants will nourish your skin and soothe you at the same time. Moment of relaxation guaranteed! From a more "technical" point of view, the heat will open the pores of the skin so that the latter can take maximum advantage of the mask to come.

For an outfit of lipstick perfect, exfoliate your lips with a mixture of sugar and honey (1 tsp of each). It is enough to massage very delicately in order to erase all the small dead skin. In addition, the honey will hydrate them in depth. You will keep them from the cold until your evening with a moisturizing lip balm that you apply several times during the day.

Your complexion is now fresh, smooth, ready to receive a festive makeup that will have a better hold thanks to all these cocooning treatments!

 

Your hair deserves your full attention too

Ideally, you will have washed them the day before or a few days before. Who has never regretted, faced with indomitable hair, having shampooed at the last minute? No one… ;)

To perfect your natural shampoo, you can proceed with a conditioner which will facilitate the re-ordering of tangled hair and close the scales of the hair by smoothing the hair fiber. Insist on the lengths and ends. For hair that grows quickly, avoid applying it to the scalp.

And finally, as a final rinse, you can use a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water (3 tablespoons of cider vinegar in 1L of water at room temperature) for even more shine!

 

Beautiful from head to toe

 Your delicate little hands tend to suffer from the cold at the moment so we will also pamper them with a moisturizing balm that you can leave on overnight (yes yes) in thick layers. To avoid moisturizing your sheets instead of your hands, slip them into light gloves.

If it is a bit complicated, there will be OBLIGATION to do nothing with your hands (in the middle of the day) for a few hours so that they get the most out of the benefits of your treatment. After all, we all deserve (yes men are entitled to it too;)) to have little moments like this.

Before applying your natural super polish, push back the cuticles. To do this, after leaving your fingertips to soak for 5 to 10 minutes in lukewarm lemon water (lemon whitens and cleanses the nails), you can gently push back the small skin around the nails using a wooden stick. special cuticle.

The last step is to moisturize your fingertips and your nails with castor oil, which will deeply nourish and strengthen them. Wait a few hours before wiping off the excess oil to finally get a beautiful manicure!
