healing capacities to look naturally beautiful.
1. Banana and Egg Hair Treatment
Looking
for a little more shine in your hair? Simply mix one egg and a mashed up
banana. Apply it as a thick paste to your hair and leave it on for 10 – 30
minutes. Wash it our doing your usual hair washing ritual (if you usually use a
store-bought conditioner you’ll probably only need to condition the ends). And
voila!
2. Use Raspberries And Coconut Oil For Brighter Lips
In
a small saucepan on low heat, warm 1 Tablespoon coconut oil until liquid.
Remove from heat and add 4 fresh or frozen red raspberries. Mash berries and
blend until smooth. Place in a small glass container and refrigerate until
firm. Use clean fingers or a lip-gloss brush to smooth over lips. Make this
fresh every few days.
3. Moisturizing Nail Treatment
Soak
your nails in olive oil for five minutes. And then sit back and admire your
pretty hands.
4. Simple Honey Face Mask
Raw
honey is naturally anti-bacterial
and a super quick way to get soft, beautiful skin. Once a week use a tablespoon
or so of raw honey (not the processed stuff parading as honey) and gently warm
it by rubbing your fingertips together. Spread on your face. Leave on for 5 –
10 minutes and then use warm water to gently rinse it off and pat dry. Then
bask in the glow of your honey-awesomeness. This raw honey is awesome,
by the way.
5. Hydrate Dry Skin with Coconut Water
Start
your morning with a glass of fresh unsweetened coconut water. And throughout
the day drink filtered water. At meals include skin-hydrating foods such as
wild salmon, avocado, olives, and coconut.
6. Apple Cider Vinegar Clarifying Shampoo
For
those who are using commercial shampoos: To help eliminate any build up in your
hair, mix ¼ cup organic apple cider vinegar with 1 cup water. Follow with your
usual conditioner.
7. Remove Dead Skin and Revitalize Your Face with an Organic Papaya Mask
Many
exfoliates contain abrasive ingredients that scratch your skin which can damage
your skin and speed aging. Instead, it’s better to use an enzymatic exfoliate.
Papaya contains the natural enzyme papaya and pineapple contains the enzyme brome
lain, which helps naturally exfoliate the skin, leaving it smooth and soft.If
you have sensitive skin, use ripe papayas because they’re less likely to
trigger an inflammatory reaction.
8. Elbow and Knee Exfoliate and Skin Brightener
Cut
an orange in half and rub it on your elbows and knees. Helps soften those rough
patches. And it smells good.
9. Turn Mineral Makeup Powder into A Natural Sun block
Use tinted mineral sun block instead of foundation or mix your favorite mineral makeup
powder with a sun block like this one for a natural makeup that is
light and protects your skin from the sun’s damaging effects. Mineral (zinc
oxide) based sun blocks sometimes appear white and pasty so adding a mineral
makeup tint helps your skin look glowing and smooth.
10. Gentle Body Scrub
Mix
a 2 to 1 ratio of olive oil and sea salt to make a quick and effective body
scrub. This helps get rid of dead skin cells creating softer, more glowing
skin. And this natural beauty tip is much cheaper that expensive store bought
body scrubs.
11. Get Natural Glowing Skin with Micro nutrients
Your skin needs certain micro nutrients (vitamins and
minerals) for speedy skin repair and turnover. Zinc, vitamin A, and vitamin C
are some of the important nutrients to get from food or in the form of a supplement to help ensure your skin
remains healthy, especially if you have chronic skin issues such as acne,
eczema and premature aging.
12. Easy Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment
Want
super soft, hydrated hair? Use melted coconut oil as a deep conditioning hair
and scalp treatment. Massage coconut
oil into your scalp and then work
it through your hair. Leave it on for a couple of hours and then wash it out
using shampoo. Coconut oil will saturate your hair with awesome goodness… that
can be really hard to get out with just baking soda and some natural
shampoos. You may want to try just a little coconut oil on a little section of
hair and see if you can get it out before you do this. Otherwise you might have
really greasy (but soft!) hair for a few washes.
13. All Natural Black Head Removal
Place
4 or 5 drops of raw honey on an open lemon wedge. Then rub the lemon on your
face for a minute, emphasizing any trouble areas. Leave the mixture on for
5 minutes and rinse with cold water. (Keep in mind that citrus can
make your skin photosensitive so it’s best to do this before bed rather than
before going outside).
14. Dry Brushing for Better Skin
Dry
brushing is a simple detoxification process for your body. It stimulates a number
of organs through a gently massage. It also helps the lymphatic system,
eliminates dead skin coatings, strengthens the immune system, can eliminate
cellulite, stimulates the hormones, and can help tighten skin through better
circulation. Best of all, it’s cheap and easy. Learn more about dry brushing
and how to do it here. Here’s a great skin brush to get you started!
15. Stop Dark Circles under Your Eyes with Arnica
If you have chronic under eye circles, you may have “allergic
shiners” which indicate a food or environmental allergy. Try to identify any
possible allergens and avoid them for 10 days to see if you notice a
difference. If you wake up with an occasional darkness under your eyes then try
using arnica gel or skin care products containing arnica. Arnica has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that
alleviate swelling and reduces the appearance of dark under eye circles.
16. Use Aloe Vera To Transform
Red Irritated Skin Into Soft Healthy Skin
If
your skin is red and irritated, you’ll want to soothe it right away. Prolonged
inflammation of your skin can cause your skin to break down collagen. Or, if
you just want smooth, vibrant skin, you can also use this skin soother. Aloe
Vera gel has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and healing properties, and it
penetrates the skin easily to provide nourishment. It’s terrific for soothing
skin that’s been overexposed to the sun, as well as for treating minor cuts and
scrapes, eczema, and acne.
17. Brighten Dull Skin Using Green Tea As A Toner
18. Clean Facial Pores With Honey, Turmeric, And Yogurt For A Smoother Complexion
19. Use Chamomile Tea Ice Cubes To Freshen Up Tired Looking Skin
Brew
a strong pot of chamomile tea (about 1.5 cups water with 1 teabag), allow to
cool 10 minutes or more and then pour into ice tray and place in freezer. Once
frozen, wrap the tea cube in a thin cloth or washcloth and apply to pimples,
puffy under eye skin, sun-kissed skin, or irritated skin for a quick skin toner
pick up. You only need to apply for a few seconds to a minute per area.
20. Get An Instant, Youthful Skin Lift Using Antioxidant-Rich
Natural Actives
Avoid
the neuro toxin Botox and other more invasive procedures and look to nature
instead. Antioxidant-rich and hydrating natural actives can lift and protect
the skin naturally. And, one of the ingredients in quality organic skin care
serums is Pollutant, which has an instant lifting effect, naturally! It is a polyacrylamide produced from starch by cultivating the yeast, Aureobasidium Pullmans.
It provides an antioxidant effect as well as an instant lifting effect that
helps improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin. Long-term use of Pollutant
will help strengthen the integrity of the skin.
Take Care
Remember,
the best all natural beauty tips and secrets are not quick fixes. They require
good sleep, stress management, proper
nutrition, and physical exercise.
While all these little “gems” above can provide some oomph to your beauty
routine, remember that real beauty is a result of taking care (or “thanking”)
your body on a daily basis. And by being you. Because you are beautiful. I hope you enjoyed these natural beauty tips.Feel free to share
them with your friends, and spread the word about natural beauty.
