Err on the side of danger #1

Basically what happens when I am procrastinating have too much free time is I search homemade stuff for face, hair and body. I've been doing it since high school. The Internet wasn't so big in our school back then. Still kind of a luxury. So I resorted to books. So awesome that a science high school has such a collection of books for the vain. Obvs right now, things are different and I have wifi at my disposal.

Back then, I would just stare at the ingredients and read about the promised good effects of putting homemade so and so on face. But now, I have my own kitchen, and some people I could ask to go to the market for me. (Gahd, I hated the dorm life.)

So yeah. There you go.

The first thing you should know about "natural" stuff is that... just because it's all-natural doesn't mean it wouldn't wreak havoc on your body/face/hair. It could. There's this thing called allergies.

Yeah.

So I'm testing this all-natural, homemade, just-put-in-a-blender-and-whirr-together kind of product.

Ingredients:

Avocado
Bananas
Sunflower Seed oil
Oatmeal
Lemon juice
Honey

 This recipe is actually a mash up of like 5 or so recipes. Whatevs. They say it's all good for hair and face.

Sounds yummy, but no. I don't think so. The recipes called for olive oil. I used cosmetic grade sunflower oil instead. It's good for hair and face too.

Just put 'em in a blender and  run a 3 for a minute or so.

Face:
Smack 'em on your face. Leave it there for 15 minutes. Massage it in. Rinse it all off.

Review:
I have combination to oily skin, with fairly a bit of pimples. This mask is actually for dry skin. It's supposed to moisturize it big time.

Basically, nothing magical happened to my face. I noticed that I didn't get too oily in the face, though. I've read that your face produces oil to compensate the dryness so maybe there's the root of the problem. Still, I don't think I'm going for this again. Too risky to play with something that isn't for your skin type.


Hair:
Slather it from the middle to the tips. Be careful putting it too close to the scalp. It might be too heavy and leave your hair flat. Leave it on for ten minutes. Wash off with your fave shampoo.

The mixture is heavy and sticky but have no fear because it washes off easily with water. The oil will need some shampoo to get off, though.


Review:
I have weird hair. It's oily, that's kinda flat and then dry, and then it's got split ends. It's coarse too. This thing was like a dream come true. My hair suddenly became slippery and smooth, and didn't show off fly away tips when I dried it. It's not a miracle hair cream, though. I'm reviewing just using my one time experience after all. But I'm definitely doing it again next weekend.
