Beauty Tips #7 – Facial Care

in #ghsc6 years ago (edited)

When you see terms like ―natural, organic and hypoallergenic on cosmetic labels, what does that mean? Not too much I ‘m afraid as these “buzz words” are mostly used to promote cosmetics to the consumers, when in fact those products often contain harmful ingredients.

Let's go ahead and make our own skin care products!
at least we will know what they contain!

EYE LINER AND EYEBROW PENCIL


Buy a pure charcoal pencil (black only) at an art supply store.
Try several on yourself (bring a small mirror) in the store to see what hardness suits you.
You may need to wet it with water or vitamin E oil.

MASSAGE OIL


The benefits of a nice massage are endless. Instead of buying premixed massage oils, use coconut oil and add essential oils in whatever scent you like. Your skin will feel soft and moisturized.

MOISTURIZER


Coconut oil is a wonderful substitute for your body moisturizer. It penetrates your skin and has remarkable healing properties. Use it sparingly – a little goes a very long way.

MOUTHWASH


1. Baking Soda & Water

Make your own mouthwash by dissolving 1/4 tsp. (1ml) of baking soda and 1 cup of water. Put it in a bottle with a lid. This mouthwash can be used for 24 hours. After 24 hours, throw away any unused portion and make a fresh batch. Swish the mouthwash around in your mouth for 30 to 60 seconds, spit it out, and rinse your mouth with water. Baking soda mouthwash SHOULD NOT be swallowed. (It is not harmful if small amounts are accidentally swallowed)

2. Coconut Oil

This is how you do oil pulling: - Swish 1 tsp. of organic coconut oil around in your mouth for 10 – 15 minutes. Discard the oil into the dustbin and not down the drain because it will clog your drain when the coconut oil hardens as it cools. Do not swallow the coconut oil either as it contains the toxins extracted from your mouth. Now rinse your mouth with warm water. Repeat this procedure every day for whiter and healthier teeth and gums.

Another great natural tips!

thanks @roselifecoach I appreciate your feedback!

Good first advices! :) Happy to read the natural care is spread. I also do natural cosmetics, I just wrote yesterday a post on how to make your own sunscreen at home, if u are interested in having a look at it. https://steemit.com/naturalremedy/@purplemoon/how-to-do-your-own-natural-sunscreen-at-home Do you also do sunscreen? I love to speak with people that share the same passion and exchange tips and improve ourselves.

I have been sent to your blog by @moderndayhippie telling me that you start a steem shop and I should also promote my magic creams through you to make the idea grow :) Super super good idea! Congratulations for the initiative! Let's keep in touch. Lots of love. xxx

I've heard of these. They're good!

thanks for sharing! Is charcoal safe to put so close to your eyes? does it stay on long? being an artist, i have some thin sticks of charcoal, but never thought to use it as eyeliner.

as long as you only use the "BLACK charcoal pencils", they are safe. @corinneiskorean

Wow...this post is amazing...what a great knowledge you have got and willing to share. Thanks, i have learn a lot hear. @fisherman

you are very welcome @petercheng

Nice tips. I think am gonna go try the mouth wash. Kryptonia @mrlopez

glad you liked the tips, yes the mouthwash is healthy. @mrlopez

Great resources. Thank you.

Do you know of anything that helps to clear up age spots? Will coconut oil at least keep them from getting worse?

upvoted and resteemed Kryptonia @deathly_horror

yes it will help, and you can also try hydrogen peroxide (a weak solution) and dab it on the spot every day. It will make it fade with time.

Great Tips @orakzai Kryptonia

These steps are perfect i'll try it, thanks for sharing
