Simple Beautifying Ingredients
Beauty is synonymous with Cosmetics, which include toxic and even cancer-causing ingredients. Fortunately, safe, natural and affordable alternatives-including homemade shampoos, conditioners, moisturizers, bath salts, body scrubs and body butters-are coming available at many stores and can also be easily made at home too.
We all want to avoid using phthalates, cetyl alcohol, sodium laureth sulfate, parabens and many other chemicals in the form of cosmetics and other toiletry products, such as lotions, scrubs, creams, oils, perfumes and makeup items...these poisonous chemicals are certainly not listed on the packs.
Our kitchen and pantry are the best sources of some safe and healthy items that can be either directly used or can be combined with other items for best results. Here are a few body-favorite ingredients for home treatments:
HONEY: Honey is perfect for conditioning dry, damaged hair and rinses out easily.
SOUR CREAM: ( Sour Yoghurt) makes a great facial mask for softening and cleansing a dull complexion.
GREEN TEA: it is packed with antioxidants and tones skin with no need to rinse off.
OATMEAL: it can be used instead of soap to cleanse all skin types.
PINEAPPLE JUICE: it soothes tired feet and softens rough patches.
BAKING SODA: it works head to toe as a hair rinse, facial scrub and bath soap.
OLIVE OIL: using it in a nail soak keeps nails clean, flexible and strong.
