With masks and conditioners that include things like avocado and honey, you might just find yourself tasting while you treat yourself to glowing skin and hair
From The Parlour on 3rd Eyelash Extension Expert, Calma Yom:
Eyelash Conditioner Recipe
Mascara tends to dry out your eyelashes and can lead to brittle, damaged, and broken hair. Natural oils can help lubricate and condition eyelashes. Try this DIY recipe for eye-mazing results.
Mix a 50/50 blend of sweet oil and apricot kernel oil.
Coat your lashes lightly with a lash wand and leave overnight.
Wash off in the morning before applying mascara. Use as a weekly lash conditioning treatment.
From The Parlour on 3rd Stylist Robear Landeros:
Healthy Hair Mask:
The easiest, cheapest, and most effective hair mask secret known to stylists is mayonnaise. It’s not a wive’s tale– it’s true because mayo is composed of egg yolk, lemon juice and vinegar, which can strengthen and moisturize your hair.
Avoid commercial brands.
Buy organic mayonnaise for best results.
Apply from tips to just shy of the roots and work the mayo into the hair.
Place a plastic bag over your hair after you apply.
Leave it on for 30 minutes. Wash hair with extremely gentle shampoo or rinse really really well. (washing is better).
While you might feel like potato salad, your hair will thank you for it with shine and being cooperative.
From The Parlour on 3rd Master Stylist Josh Rosebrook:
Fabulous Facial Exfoliator:
Start with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Olive oil is extremely moisturizing and rich in fatty acids. You can also try grapeseed oil, a potent source of vitamins C, D and E and fatty acids, which repair damaged skin.
Add 1 tablespoon of sea salt
. Sea salt is an extremely effective, natural exfoliant and sloughs off dead skin cells on the epidermis.
Add 1 teaspoon of oatmeal.
Oatmeal also gently removes dead skin cells, while softening and nourishing dry skin.
Add 1 teaspoon of raw honey
.Raw honey is packed with enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Honey supports cell rejuvenation and also absorbs and retains moisture to give sensitive skin a healthy glow.
Leave the exfoliant on your face for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the nutrients to penetrate and the skin to soften. Then rinse off face gently with a soft cloth or sponge and pat dry.

At Home Facial Mask:
Try this chia seed and avocado nourishing mask.
Chia seeds are packed with omega 3 fatty acids (the highest of any natural source, including Flax Seeds) and are very high in minerals.
Mix 3 tablespoons of GROUND chia seeds and half of an organic avocado.
Avocados are packed with vitamin E. Vitamin E is a powerhouse antioxidant for the skin, regenerating cells and jump starting collagen production – a process critical for anti-aging of the skin.
Mix together and apply mask. Leave on for 10 to 45 minutes and rinse with tepid water. Your skin will be nourished and detoxed and will feel soft and smooth.
A Simple Facial Hydrating Mask:
Combine organic aloe vera gel and raw honey
. The raw honey will retain the moisture in the skin, while nourishing it with enzymes and minerals.
Aloe vera gel is extremely powerful as an anti-inflammatory agent. High in fatty acids and minerals, aloe also heals scarring, evens out skin tone and protects the skin from environmental damage and dust.
Apply this mask for 15 to 20 minutes and rinse with warm water.
So while you are not spending all the money getting pampered by someone else, you haven’t completely forgone your beauty treatments and can look amazing– for LESS!!
