Brightening Kiwi Face Mask

If you're already in love with KiwiFox products, we know you'll love this amazing kiwi face mask! Did you know that the seeds of kiwi fruit can help to gently exfoliate the skin? Kiwi is also packed with alpha hydroxy acid, which can help reduce oiliness, prevent blackheads, and balance your complexion, leaving your face soft and smooth. We've also combined 2 other ingredients your skin will love...

Cucumbers contain the same pH as your skin, so they can clean, nourish, and hydrate your skin without stripping it of its natural protective layers. You'll also notice a brightening effect!

Lavender oil has a calming effect, which aids in relaxation and reduction of anxiety and stress. It can also be used for antiseptic and anti-bacterial purposes.

The mask is great for both men and women at any age, with any skin type. What are you waiting for? Give it a try!

Things You’ll Need:

• Blender or small food processor
• Spatula

• Half a cucumber
• Healing Indian Clay (can be purchased at a vitamin shop)
• 5 drops of lavender oil (optional) 

Instructions:

1. Mix 2 tablespoons of clay with 1 oz. of water into a smooth paste. Let it sit for 2 minutes for the clay to absorb the water.

Don't Forget Your Skin Resolutions This Year!

With the start of a New Year, you've probably made personal commitments that will help you improve yourself. As weeks go by, do you tend to forget some of those resolutions and return to old habits? KiwiFox has got you covered with these practical reminders to help you achieve and maintain the best looking skin possible this year! Remember that beauty starts from within, so having healthly looking skin is accomplished from the inside as well as the outside.

1) Follow a Daily Skin Care Routine
The healthiest skin starts with investing time and effort in the best skin care. The benefits and the results will make it all worthwhile!

2) Do You Know Your Skin Type?
Sensitive? Dry? Combination? This knowledge is key to getting the most out of your skin care products and understanding how to use them properly.

3) Stress is the Enemy
Try to minimize stress in your life as much as possible. Start by taking the time to indulge in the things that make you feel happy and relaxed.

4) Pack your Bags 
Neglecting your delicate eye area can lead to puffiness, making you look tired and older. Use an under-eye cream that treats both puffiness and dark circles at the source, like Awake Dark Circle Remover. 

5) Snooze to Detox
Are you getting at least 8 hours of sleep? While you sleep, your body continually works to cleanse itself of toxins that are detrimental to your skin. Sufficient sleep keeps unattractive dark circles at bay, reduces stress and revitalizes your entire persona.

6) It's all about the H2O
Your body is comprised of 60-70% water. This water balance is essential to good health and beautiful skin. It also helps flush toxins out of your system and keeps organs functioning properly.

7) Wash your Face and Body Right After Exercising
Exercise is one of the best things you can do for your body. However, sweat and dirt that lingers too long on your skin can clog pores and cause breakouts. Shower immediately after your workout to keep your skin pure and clear.

8) Clean Your Makeup Brushes Once a Week
Bacteria and oil can build up on your makeup brushes and eventually lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Carefully wash each brush with a mild liquid soap and warm water, then rinse thoroughly. Comb the bristles to prevent tangling. Dry flat on a towel overnight or place it in direct sunlight.

9) Moisturize After Showering or Bathing
Hot showers and baths feel wonderful but can strip skin layers of valuable oils. Your face moisturizer and body lotion or mist will help replenish skin's natural moisture content. For optimal results, apply your products immediately after showering or bathing while skin is still damp.

10) Remove Your Make Up At Night
Makeup can make you look and feel great! However, you need to remove it every night. If you don’t, it can mix with dirt and other oils to clog your pores which can cause unsightly breakouts.

At KiwiFox, we take your skin's health and beauty very seriously. Visit us today to kick start the year with the best natural skin care you can treat yourself to!
