It’s probably in your kitchen right now—maybe even in the last bite of food you ate today. Olive oil is a ubiquitous cooking essential—it’s delicious, healthy, and incredibly versatile. And if you haven’t moved it into your beauty routine yet, prepare for these beauty benefits of olive oil to rock your world.
It’s a little scary to think about—all these chemicals and pollutants invisible in our food and organic body care products, in our air and water—but this is the modern world and it is loaded with unsavory elements. The liver, gut, and kidneys work to remove harmful toxins from the body—pesticides, phthalates, BPA, heavy metals, harmful bacteria, etc – and so does the skin.
Like those wrinkles, we’ve earned our less than supple skin and should wear it with pride. But a little firmness never hurt anyone either. So to combat loose skin, face masks may help to enhance collagen production resulting in firmer and tighter looking skin.
It smells a bit like perfection. Like, if a nose could tell you exactly what its favorite smell was, it would be lavender (and, maybe, a whiff of coffee for good measure). But lavender is much more than an olfactory-pleasing fragrance. Lavender essential oil benefits do the whole body good.
You may have seen those viral images: the close-up pictures of scrubbed clean faces under bright lights separated by just a few weeks or so, maybe a month. The only difference? The subject drank a boatload of water in that time and seems to look different, if not “better” in the more recent photo. Can drinking enough water really make you look younger? Are there really benefits of drinking water for the skin? How important is water in natural skin care?
Nothing says Good Morning like bulging, swollen, and puffy eyes. There they are staring right at your reflection (and at everyone else looking at your face). Yay. And yes—of course, it’s what’s on the inside that counts. But no one likes looking like a bug. Plus, puffy eyes can be distracting, irritating, and are usually a sign that something else is going on.
Does it seem like every time it happens you have to learn how to treat sunburn all over again? If you grab the store-bought organic skincare products to treat sunburn, it’s no wonder you’re confused. You may forget which product you used the last time you needed it—because we sure hope getting sunburned is not a regular occurrence.
What’s better than healthy skin? How about luminescent-just-fell-from-the-stars looking skin? Okay. Maybe that’s a stretch, but with our tips for natural skin care, you may find yourself feeling like you descended from the stars, if not the heavens above.
Of course, when we talk about bar soap, we most certainly are not talking about the detergent-laced supermarket aisle stuff that leaves you fresh and clean as a whistle. There’s a new soap in town, the hand-milled, small-batch, natural-ingredient soaps that you need to know about.
Looking for home remedies for acne that actually work is almost as harrowing as figuring out how those pimples got on your face in the first place. But it’s not impossible. In fact, taking a DIY approach can be most effective.
The key to any successful, natural skin care regimen is to be working with undamaged skin, and this means proper sun protection. Damaged skin can overproduce oil in an effort to speed the healing process. Use an appropriate sunscreen for your activity, wear hats, sunglasses, and avoid direct sun exposure when it’s not necessary.
