Nudu Natural Beauty Skin Care

If you are looking for a new Skin Care regimen that offers natural and safe ingredients, then Nudu Natural Beauty Skin Care is for you! As most of you know, I'm pretty particular about what I put on my skin. I tend to lean more towards natural ingredients so when I was sent this skin care line to try out, I was super excited about it. I've been using it for a little over a week now and I love it! I added it to my regimen with my homemade natural makeup remover wipes and my skin feels and looks amazing! I had been looking for a regimen that offered a safe and more natural ingredient list and looks like I found it!



I was sent the cream cleanser, reviving toner, gentle moisturizer, eye cream and a cute exfoliating sponge.



I LOVE how this product makes my skin feel and look!

DIY All-Natural Makeup Remover Wipes

Sleeping in your makeup can clog pores and cause unhealthy skin but if your skin is anything like mine, some makeup removers are too harsh on the skin. That's why I did some research and decided to make my own homemade all-natural wipes. I have been using these for about a month and I LOVE them! I wanted to test them out for a few weeks to make sure they worked properly before I shared my recipe. I have to say that I am SO happy with the results! My skin feels healthier and I have been told by several people that I'm "glowing" more these days!

Things You Will Need:

1/2 cup hot water
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons witch hazel
1 pinch of lavender buds

Measuring Spoon
Measuring Cup
Whisk
Bowl to Mix
Round Cotton Pads
Container With Tight-Fitting Lid



Step 1

You will need 1/2 of warm water and two tablespoons of coconut oil and a pinch of lavender buds. Coconut oil helps break down makeup, which makes it easer to remove from your face. Lavender helps treat acne, can detoxify the skin and helps firm your skin as it boosts circulation.







Step 2 

Add 2 tablespoons of which hazel and whisk to combine. Witch hazel fights bacteria and reduces inflammation which can help with those morning puffy eyes.



Step 3

Stuff your cotton rounds into your container. Try to fit in as many wipes as possible. 



Step 4

Pour the mixture slowly into your container, giving the cotton rounds time to absorb the mixture without overflowing your container. 

Step 5

Let the cotton rounds set for several hours. Once you are ready to use, scrape off the top portion of the top round as there will be access on it. Now you are ready to use your All-Natural Makeup Remover Wipes!!!! 



Scrape that off

Growing in God....WOW! I am growing so much that it feels like my WHOLE perspective has changed drastically! My view on the local church has changed and the things that used to be important to me are not important to me any longer. I have researched and dove into scripture to find out what God really says about the church. (A blog on this soon to come....actually probably a series on this, one won't cover it). God is just amazing!!!!
