>make me blush You can’t predict how much snow a winter in Wichita will bring but you can count on the frigid air turning your skin to shit. At least I can. In lieu of expensive masks and creams, I turned to my kitchen in search of the best winter-resistant recipes that might keep me from obsessively applying lotion every five minutes. I scoured the Internet for recipes and a lot of them suck. I felt like I was 6 years old playing mad scientist. This time, instead of leaving my potions to rot underneath my bed, I left the remnants in the sink. It was my boyfriend’s turn to do the dishes. natural beauty written by > roni AyAllA 13 nakedcitymag.com > volume 1 issue 2 nakedcity Winner No. 1—Looks-Like-But-Won’t-Make-You-Vomit Facemask Equal parts finely ground oats, aloe vera gel, brown sugar and essential oil (I used jasmine). Mix everything in a blender. Pat mixture onto face. Watch it slide down on your shirt and then the floor. Let it dry for 5 minutes and apply more. Rinse after about 15. If you throw a bunch on the floor or in a toilet at work, you’ll have yourself the afternoon off. Winner No. 2—Tasty Hair Hydrator Half an avocado and 2 tablespoons plain yogurt. Mix in a blender. Apply to hair. Let set for 15 minutes. If you rinse in an old College Hill shower that doesn’t drain well, it will look like you’re standing in urine. Also, it doesn’t stink or taste bad. All right. It’s my new favorite breakfast. Winner No. 3—I Want Some of Your Brown Sugar Scrub 1 cup brown sugar and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Mix and heat in microwave for about a minute. Apply wherever. If you don’t try anything else, try this scrub. It’ll even make the most weathered hands and feet smooth. >>> Smell natural and local If you’re into natural products and want to smell good, too, pick up some ElEctric Pussy linen spray. A “between the sheets treat,” ElEctric Pussy is made from witch hazel and essential oils, blending into scents like tangy and spicy “Bare & Legal” and the flowery, ultra-feminine “Happy Ending.” Plus, creator Caitlin Harrah said that you can spray the scents anywhere, including on yourself. Get your delicious sprays at Harmonious PosH or rEwound sounds for 9 bucks. http://nakedcitymag.com
