When i first started this blog i intented for it to be about using all things natural to bring out the natural beauty in you hence the name Naturally You. However i have found another passion which is makeup, i mean its only natural i am a woman after all..and there are great tips out there and wonderful people who share thier personal tips and techiques for looking fab! So be prepared for some posts on makeup ....you have been warned!!!

So anyway during these past few days i have been trying some DIY face masks such as the Aspirin Honey Cleanser/Mask which blogged about a few posts ago although i use it regulary but i think i overdid it this time as i did not wait for the aspirin to completely dissolve and did not mix the honey well making the mixture too strong for my senstive skin which irriated it and woke up the next day with very dry and flaky skin around my nose and lips....

So i decided to rub some olive oil to moisturise the areas it did work for but only for a while...so i searched around for a mask for dry skin and found out that Egg yolk is great for dry skin as it is full of protein, vitamin A and fatty acids that can really help smoothen your skin and diminish blemishes. So i tried that i applied the yolk of the egg on my face for approx 15 mins until it dried and rinsed out with warm water and my skin felt so soft and revived and my dry areas were smooth but an hour or so after that my nose felt all dry again...i think i am just going to leave my skin alone for a few days and hope that it goes away soon....
