Many make-up, skin-care and hair-care lines have long lists of unknown and non-pronounceable ingredients. Not only can our skin be very sensitive and react to these chemicals with rashes and irritations, but we can find much better and more environmentally progressive alternatives easily. Even though the beauty market has many skin care and make-up organic lines out, but check the labels before you make a purchase to make sure the product is organic. Natural products, found at a health food store or in the comfort of your kitchen, can be especially effective and make you feel (and smell) like a natural beauty.
To Exfoliate Skin: Mix sugar and olive oil.
To Hydrate Skin: Use Shea butter, found at most health food stores.
To clear up a Blemish: Dab on a lemon, or some tea tree oil.
To Soothe a Cold: Add peppermint or eucalyptus pure essential oil to your bath or shower.
