 My name is Vivian if you're new to my channel welcome now I'm gonna be doing things a little bit different. This is what my skin looks like after Seven about seven or eight days basically a week of using a a la vera tumeric paste or mask Now I'm not new to a la vera or to tumeric my husband is actually from East Africa Ethiopia Shout out to all the hibashas out there. So I'm familiar with the spice. I cook with tumeric I know that it's used in Indian food. Ethiopian food shares some similarity as for as the type of spices they use with Indian food So that's just a little bit of background. I am 38 years old a week shy of my 39 birthday. Shout out to all the leels out there, too Um, I have Combination skin. I'm looking in the mirror here. I have combination skin And what that means is that certain areas of oil are oily and certain areas are dry My dry areas tend to be here. My oily areas are my Forehead sometimes along my cheeks here. All right, you guys so just to give you that background now Let's jump right into the first day of me using the actual mask. Hey y'all So I'm gonna be making a la vera face mask and I tend on using this for the entire week that's seven days straight Okay, so here we have some tumeric tea tree oil a la vera and coconut oil now I don't really I'm not a fan of coconut oil on my face or oils in general unless it's like a serum vitamin c serum or Vitamin e oil, but I have done coconut oil mask in the past So I tend on using maybe one to two tablespoons of coconut oil Um, and again, this will be for the entire week. So more than likely two tablespoons. I would say Uh half a cup of a la vera 68 drops of tea tree oil and half of a tablespoon of tumeric Are you guys so right now? I'm just cutting up the a la vera plant itself. I can get this locally at my local Walmart or grocery store But I'm going to start growing this in my backyard since it is a succulent and I live in phoenix, arizona Where it is extremely dry. That's one thing I didn't mention in the video The weather here is very dry. I actually live in a desert. So there's no humidity in the air But with that being said, um a plant such as a la vera Um, it wouldn't need need much tendon to a much maintenance. I would grow pretty well It actually grows naturally out here. So anyway, just cutting this up. Please don't do what I'm doing. Take your time When you're cutting up this a la vera um Like I stated earlier or perhaps I didn't but um if I if I am being redundant, I do apologize But a la vera is something that I use on a weekly basis not just for my face But also for my hair. I will be linking in the card several diy recipes for the tangler I love mixing up a la vera with a good oil Preferably coconut oil or olive oil a great conditioner and apple cider vinegar for me That is one of the best diy detanglers addicts from coconut milk too makes a big difference But I think just for you know, three or four ingredients mixing up pretty well upon it to your hair If you have coarse hair Um, even if you don't have coarse hair if you have wavy hair a diy Excuse me detangler using a la vera is also great As a disclaimer, I would not recommend adding this must tea tree all directly to the mixture. My face was on fire So I ended up putting it in a blender and this is what the consistency looks like If you do add tea tree all add two to three drops. Okay So you need this And all right you guys so I'm applying in the face mask for the first time Got a little smart later on and decided to buy a makeup brush to apply the mask make it less messier um And what I'm going to do is show you what it looks like with it on I left it on for about 15 minutes And I rinsed it off and you're going to see me here use my um, normal just face products I will be listing everything below in the description box now Let me tell you something I put way too much tea tree oil in this particular mixture And yeah, it was burning. So doing things a little bit differently the next go around so this is the new um Mask I'm going to be doing turmeric again um, honey and olive vera So the main difference is not adding any coconut oil and tea tree oil Of course, and so this is what this particular face mask looks like a little bit more put together due to the honey And next up you're going to see clips of me wearing makeup later on the day You can already see grinning I have on makeup, but my skin you guys is clearing up a little bit better. Okay My hair so a bit big today I'm going to go ahead and wash off this mask. It smells so good So yeah with the honey mixture I did not add the tea tree oil instead I'm going to spot treat any acne or build up. Excuse me not build up But any breakouts with the tea tree oil in certain areas instead of Um applying it into directly to the face mask so that my face is not on fire I also was going to or excuse me. I also started to wash my face Thoroughly basically do my skin regimen and then apply the mask. I found that's better So this is the next day the mask is getting thinner and thinner I did end up refrigerating it comes the second day just to be on a safe side And next up you're going to see clips of what my skin looks like I'm starting to get a little break up there at the front near my eyebrow, but that's okay Now it's fully emerging. You see that? Yeah, this is the next day. It's very red. Um, next up you're going to see clips um I believe this is day five Of me wearing makeup And this is day six with no makeup and the upcoming clips you're going to see me with makeup on my new I am applying the face mask in the morning. Okay This is with makeup and this is day six. Yeah day six and then this is day seven Look at how great my skin is clearing up and then the final clips will be of day eight. Okay you guys So, yes, this is what my face looks like now. This is a close-up now I still have that little situation here for where I broke out But overall my skin looks good you guys like I said, I got a couple of compliments Um, some people over the weekend were shocked about my age. I don't think almost 39 is old now that I'm almost 39 I don't think that that's old but oftentimes I get you know, are you 29 28? But then when I start talking that up, okay, 33 32, I'm like go up higher I found that using the um pasted stuff along with the olivera Evened out my skin my skin definitely looks brighter. Now. Let me say this. I'm not trying to look lighter Okay, I love my chocolate skin. I like I love that. I have you know, medium toned skin I loved it about myself. So um, and I I embraced it. Okay, but I do notice that there's a there's a brightness to my skin Um in this evening out. So yes, I would definitely be using this in the future every day. No Not happening, but I will be using it probably I don't think it will be you know, hard for me to do this two or three times a week at least twice a week Not a problem. So that is it everyone.
