Ingredients: Honey, milk, extra virgin olive oil.
Portions: 1/4 cup of honey, 1 tbs e.v.o.o., touch of milk (about 1/2 tbs – do not use soy).

This mask is awesome, especially with granulated honey cause then it doubles as a scrub. (Granulated honey is crystallized honey in which some of the glucose content has spontaneously crystallized from solution. Some honeys granulate faster than others, such as raw/unprocessed honey.) If you can get your hands on natural honey, then give it a try once the sugar has started to granulate.

Apply the mixture as a mask with a brush (or your hands, but it’s messy) on your face, avoiding the sensitive skin around the eyes. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then take a hot shower (the steam will help the mask penetrate deeper into the skin) leave it on for another minute or two and then start scrubbing lightly on face and neck and then rinse off under water. Avoid using soap and make it a “makeup free” day to let your skin breathe. If you want to get out of the house be sure to apply sunscreen.

*Useful Tip: wear an old T-shirt cause it’s a little messy and place a towel like a bib around your neck when doing this so to catch whatever droops off.

AVOCADO LIGHTENING FACE MASK

Ingredients: 1 lemon (or lemon juice), 1 lime, 1 avocado, 1 cucumber.
Portions: 1/2 avocado (spoon out green flesh & chop), 1/4 lemon (about 3 tbs of juice), 1/4 lime (about 3tbs of juice), 4 to 5 slices of cucumber. Blend.

This mask is so soothing, it treats uneven skin tone and acne scaring. It works better when the avocado is nice and soft so be sure it’s ripe. Blend ingredients together and apply to face (easier with a brush). Leave it on for 10 minutes and then rinse off with cool water.

ROSE WATER FACIAL TONER

Ingredients: 1 lemon, 1 bottle of rose water.
Portions: 1/4 lemon (about 3 tbs of juice), calculate 1 part lemon juice and 3 parts rose water. Stir.

This recipe is my favorite, I use it everyday now! It totally helps tighten pores and even out skin tone. Mix it up and pour in clean & empty bottle for daily use (used hotel shampoo bottles are good). Apply with cotton ball all over face avoiding sensitive skin around the eyes and… voilà!

If you’re feeling adventurous and decide to try them out, let me know if they worked for you in the comment section below.

Add to that a very successfull run on former-web giant Deviantart’s most viewed, commented and appreciated works and i had a major artistic crush.

To me, he paved the way for being an artist; not a musician, or graphic artist, or designer, just a simple artist, being able to express oneself through a variety of mediums, including digital ones.

Here’s some of my favorite illustration work he did.

A true experimentalist, he was creating music in the early 00s that was conceptually and stylistically avant-garde. He turned me to drum&bass, ambient, idm, industrial, dubstep & more way before the mainstream media did.
He recently released his latest full length ” a million drops” which you can download for free on his website, or stream throught soundcloud :

SPIKE JONZE: MOURIR AUPRÈS DE TOI
The Celebrated Filmmaker and Designer Olympia Le-Tan Co-create a Tale to Pierce the Heart

Designer Olympia Le-Tan’s embroidered clutch-bags spring to life in director Spike Jonze’s tragicomic stop-motion animation Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side). On a shelf in famed Parisian bookstore Shakespeare and Company, the star-crossed love story of a klutzy skeleton and his flame-haired amour plays out amidst Le-Tan’s illustrations of iconic first-edition book covers. “It’s such a beautiful and romantic place,” offers Le-Tan of the antiquarian bookstore. “The perfect setting for our story!” The project started after Jonze asked for a Catcher in the Rye embroidery to put on his wall and the plucky Le-Tan asked for a film in return. Enlisting French filmmaker Simon Cahn to co-direct, the team wrote the script between Los Angeles and Paris over a six month period, before working night and day animating the 3,000 pieces of felt Le-Tan had cut by hand. “I love getting performances from, telling stories about and humanizing things that aren’t human,” said Jonze of working with Le-Tan’s characters. After spending five years adapting Maurice Sendak’s Where The Wild Things Are, Jonze’s recent shorts include robot love story I’m Here and an inspired G.I. Joe-starring video for The Beastie Boys. “A short is like a sketch,” he says. “You can have an idea or a feeling and just go and do it.” Here the iconic director reveals his creative process to writer Maryam L’Ange.
