Who said that beauty couldn't be easy and inexpensive? The traditional trend is that the more expensive it is the better it must be. Nonsense. Create your own beauty at home.
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.
Here are a few facts. Cosmetic products begin in the lab as chemical formulas. This is the same way that medicines begin. The use of natural ingredients for medicines and cosmetics goes back centuries to ancient civilizations. Today, cosmetic companies believe they are going one better when they add artificial ingredients to achieve the same result. Unnatural additions can bother your skin when applied.
What's wrong with nature? You probably have many natural beauty ingredients in your home right now. Home beauty recipes include fruits, herbs, flowers, and vegetables as ingredients. If you don't have your own garden, choose products that have been cultivated without chemicals. Some pesticides can leech into fruits and vegetables.
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 - Red, white, yellow, or pink, they are all fragrant and beautiful. Rose petals are soft and, when added to a hot bath, transfer that fragrance to your body. Create your own rose water by steeping roses and adding coconut milk.
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 - Bananas contain potassium which is naturally found in the body as an electrolyte and maintains the water balance in the body. Crush a few ripe bananas and mix with yogurt and egg white for a facial beauty 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.
Your kitchen and garden can add to your personal beauty. Avoid harmful chemicals by turning to wholesome fruits, vegetables, and plants to create beauty recipes to help your skin. - 16650
