When it comes to beauty, we are all for it. But beauty has become more expensive and more artificial over the years. For a change, try bringing out your natural beauty at home instead.
Beauty products can claim that they are organic or natural on the bottles but be not totally truthful. The actual natural products can comprise a small part of the cream, oil, or shampoo. The fillers and other preservatives could be irritating to even the healthiest of faces.
Using your own beauty products keeps you from having to deal with the cosmetic companies and their "claims." Natural beauty is a dying art. In ancient times, cosmetics (face paint as they called it) and medicines had natural origins. Today, these things are created from formulas in the lab. Improvements in these industries meant artificial ingredients. For makeup, your skin could be affected.
There's nothing wrong with starting over without preservatives. Natural beauty recipes use vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers as their base. Whatever you buy, try to stick with ones that have not been treated with weed killers or insect sprays. These chemicals could make their way into your beauty regimen.
1. Lemons - Lemons have been a well kept beauty secret. Lemon juice is a natural astringent. Cut a lemon in half and rub on your face to remove excess oil and to help lighten dark spots. Reduce lemons and water to create a lemon hair spray.
2. Roses - they smell great and add softness to the skin. Use natural rose petals that are free of insects and chemicals and add them to a hot tub of bath water for a naturally fragrant bath. Make your own rose water (steep roses in water) and combine with coconut milk for a bath skin treatment.
3. Strawberries - They taste sweet and smell fragrant. The seeds can set your teeth and gums in a fit, though. Turn your fit into a functional treatment for your skin. Combine the strawberries with olive oil and coarse salt to create an exfoliating scrub for your body.
4. Bananas - Cream one and use it as a beauty treatment. Bananas contain an important electrolyte in the body-potassium. Restore the moisture balance in your skin with a facial mask. Mix your creamed bananas with egg white and yogurt to create the mask.
5. Honey - It comes from our friends, the bees. Using honey on your face creates a nourishing facial mask. Honey also moisturizes your skin and contains antibacterial properties. Mix with vinegar for oily skin or some cooked oatmeal if your skin is dry. Open pores with warm water to clean them and close them with cold water when rinsing off the mask.
Natural beauty treatments are cost efficient and effective. Also, you avoid irritating fillers and chemicals. Whip up a batch on a weekly basis if you need to. It's a small sacrifice for a lifetime of beauty. - 15438
