Would you be surprised to learn that spending a small fortune on beauty products is quite unnecessary? All of the ingredients youll ever need are in your kitchen or pantry cabinet.
Here are two ways in which you can use natural home beauty remedies in a flash.
Olive Oil: You cook and bake with it; but did you know you can use it in a variety of other ways? Because olive oil is chemical free, it can be used on your skin; as a bath oil, moisturizer, massager, and conditioner. For example: You can apply a mixture of olive oil and lemon juice to your skin before bedtime to reduce wrinkles and, at the same time, moisturize your skin. To strengthen your nails, soak them in warm extra virgin olive oil for five minutes. Massage your sore muscles with a mixture of extra virgin olive oil and rosemary. Apply olive oil to dry hair as an overall conditioner. It will leave your hair smooth and shiny.
Oatmeal: Wouldnt you love a facial? Get out the box of oatmeal from your cabinet and begin. This oatmeal facial will not only exfoliate, but moisturize your skin as well. Here are the steps: Take out a package of instant oatmeal; add a half a cup of water; two tablespoons yogurt; two tablespoons of honey and one egg white. Mix the water and oatmeal, then add the additional ingredients. Apply a thin layer to your face. Leave it on for about 15 minutes or until you feel tightness; then rinse your face with warm water.
I use olive oil to remove makeup and also as a moisturizer. I love the way it makes my skin feel.
you can use a mixture of half olive oil and half castor oil (plus I use a drop of lavender essential oil) instead of face wash. just massage into skin and steam off with a warm washcloth. do a web search for “oil cleansing method” for more info.
Great tips!! Thanks!!
I have used Olive Oil for years to shave my legs with! I love it and I don’t get the dry skin that you get w/ other shaving products or the “bumps” you get after shaving w/ other products. Just remember to clean the tub out afterward or you’ll have some “accidents.”
Thank you! I love this. Although I sell some natural skincare products, I sooooo believe that the very BEST and PREFERRED way to care for our health and skin is what we can prepare and create from ORGANIC fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains and essential oils at home. This is the very freshest way to care for our health. I have been using raw honey with oatmeal and a little grapeseed oil as a mask. Then when I remove it I use a litlte warm water and allow it to exfoliate my skin. Honey, organic ground almonds or walnuts, and a drop of almond milk makes a great mask as well. Aaaah! Lovely!
