Don’t wear leggings that cut off above the knee.

Don’t wear leggings with short/cropped tops.

Don’t wear leggings as pants. Leggings should never be worn like pants. Instead, they should be treated like tights.

How To Make A Homemade Honey Face Mask

Homemade face masks are great; they cost less, are fun to make, and are much healthier for your skin. This honey facial mask is great for all skin types and will leave your skin looking and feeling silky smooth. It’s surprisingly easy to make and only requires a few household ingredients:

1) 1 Raw Egg
2) 2 Tablespoons Of Honey
3) Splash Of Milk
4) 1/2 Pureed Dried Apricots
or 1 tsp Of Vitamin E Oil

Heads up: if you have dry skin make sure you use the egg yolk. If you have normal to oily skin use the egg whites. Once you’ve got all that covered, combine the egg with 2 tbsp of honey and mix. Then add the vitamin E oil, and a splash of milk. (If you use too much milk the consistency of the facial mask will be too liquid, and the mask will not apply properly)

To Apply the Mask:

1. Make sure your face is thoroughly clean. Rinse your face with hot water to open up your pores and then gently pat dry.

2. With your fingers begin applying mask all over your face in a circular motion.

3. Let the mask sit for 10-20 minutes, then rinse with cool water to close pours.

4. After you're done, you can use an acne fighting cream or your regular moisturizer before applying your makeup. You will most definitely love the results and will want to use this every few days. We say, go right ahead...indulge yourself! 

Oh and just in case it needs to be said, do NOT use this mask if you are allergic to any of the ingredients!!! There, we said it. Enjoy!
