Beauty Tips from Petra Strand of ‘Pixi’
By Tammy | November 8, 2009
Petra Stand, creator of Pixi Beauty, has shared with us some of her top Beauty Tips!
Petra shares:
- Buy a great organic lip balm and you can use this as a general emergency skin salve. It can even be used as an intense moisturizer for dry cuticles and cracked feet.
- Boil up some great quality green tea, cool and pour into an ice cube tray. In summer especially these little cubes of zingy, freshness make a great toner as they will gently revitalize skin and close the pores. They are even suitable for even the most hyper sensitive skin. You just simply rub over cleansed skin for an instant hit.
- With a great quality natural lip stick, you can use it on the cheeks as well as the lips to give a fresh burst of colour to your cheeks (Pixi rose lip treat is perfect for this).
- You can always use a little almond oil rubbed into the lashes to remove stubborn mascara. The oil will break down the product and also nourish lashes as an extra treat, just whisk away with a damp cotton pad.
- A hypoallergenic crème blush is fantastic to use as pigment all over. If the tone is brownish, it can give you a soft bronzed effect. You can use on eyes and lips as well, for a whole coordinating look in seconds. (Pixi crème blush is fantastic for this as it is completely safe to use all over).
- If you have a sleek “do” and you have fly away ends sticking up, to slick down instead of using a heavy serum, spray a little fine hairspray into your comb or brush and take through the length of your hair. Voila!!! Perfectly fuzz free locks.
- Skin a little drier/more dehydrated or sensitive than usual? If you cleanse your face with water, add 3 drops to a sink full of tepid water of either chamomile or lavender essential oil. These will help to balance and soothe all skins, just see which smell appeals to you most out of these 2 amazing oils.

Not all people know the relevance of essential oils in our body nor the benefits of essential oils especially on its relaxing power. Generally, essential oil are distilled liquid by water or steam from different flowers, leaves, bark, stems, roots and all other elements of plants. A lot of people would mistakenly think that essential oils are oily when in fact, it’s not, most of them are clear.
