Zazulete Ynn Anuca Romanta Ion It is said that we should put on our skin only what we would eat. Let’s experiment with the concept! I am introducing to you 3 magical potions for your inner and outer nutrition, health and beauty. We will create a series of superfoods that keep the raw properties of high quality nutritious ingredients that you can either mix in your smoothies (or add to your desserts or snacks, as highly concentrated foods) but that you can use at the same time as simple, homemade, easy, quick and healthy all-complexion face masks. All three recipes have an energizing, cleansing, rejuvenating effect in and out. They teach us to incorporate in our food and beauty rituals carefully selected natural raw products which have a high enzymatic impact on our body. Perfect for meeting spring in full health and radiant beauty! INSTRUCTIONS (valid for all three recipes) As superfood: mix one tablespoon of the product in your daily smoothie or your freshly prepared dessert (such as fruit salad) or enjoy with whole grain crackers. As face mask: gently rub the mask on your face and neck and leave for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with warm water or warm water and natural homemade face soap (I use goat milk soap after makeup removal). It is best however to not rinse excessively and to let the oils continue their absorption into the skin, after removing the mask. Be careful for the turmeric mask can stain your clothes. You may need to use paper towels or makeup removal wipes to remove the excess turmeric color from your skin. All face masks are highly rejuvenating and anti-wrinkle, so try to carefully apply the masks at eye corners, below the eyes and even below the eyebrows, gently, in very small dosage, and without touching the eye, for honey, coconut oil and turmeric can be irritants for the eye (they sting a little). If you don't feel skilled enough, avoid the area around the eyes. You will notice the all the masks will leave your skin very very smooth and exceptionally glowy, clean, regenerated and healthy. Raw chocolate coffee smoothie superfood and face mask INGREDIENTS (version one) 1 tsp raw, high quality cocoa powder 1 tsp freshly ground coffee 1 tsp grated raw unprocessed cocoa butter 1 tbsp hot coffee from your daily coffee pot Finely grate the cocoa butter and add it to cocoa powder and ground coffee in a small bowl.

Berries yogurt honey smoothie superfood and face mask This recipe is best processed in higher quantity, for example when you want to indulge in homemade fruity frozen yogurt, being more difficult to prepare a small quantity in your regular blender. INGREDIENTS 1 live culture yogurt (200g) 50-100g frozen or fresh berries (including seedy berries like raspberries, blackberries and strawberries). You can experiment here with different concentration of berries. Honey to taste Blend them all in your blender. It is important to keep in mind that berries will become juicier upon blending, so try to use a thicker yogurt, or to use a fruit or seeds processor for the berries and subsequently add the berry puree in the yogurt. If you are using fresh berries, it is easier to just puree them with a fork and then add the yogurt and honey. Mix it all to obtain a smooth cream. NUTRITION YOGURT: Rich, whole food containing protein, vitamins and minerals (especially calcium, potassium and magnesium). Probiotics essential for the digestive system. Immune booster. Weight loss.

You can keep your favorite superfoods for longer periods by freezing them in ice cube trays. When you need a boost for your tummy or face, you just remove one ice cube and use it over your face and neck or toss it in your blender to be mixed with your smoothie.
