Some of these natural products have been talked about quite a bit. Read about what all the hype is and whether some of these are for you!

1. Honey masks

When doing this it can be okay to use just standard honey, but it’s recommended that you use raw and pure honey for the best results. After you’ve washed your face, lather your face in honey and just sit back and relax. Leave the honey on for a least 20 minutes, but you can leave it on for longer if you want. This mask leaves your skin hydrated and glowing.

2. Aloe vera masks

Before you brush your teeth in the morning, just take a spoonful of oil and swish it around for 20 minutes. Spit it out in the trash and brush your teeth! That’s it! Your teeth will gradually whiten in a healthy way.

Hair can accumulate a lot of build up, especially if you are someone that doesn’t wash their hair often. Doing an apple cider vinegar rise can get rid of that build up and leave your hair stronger and shiny. Put 1 part apple cider vinegar and 2 parts water into a spray bottle and spray it all over your head and make sure to work it into your roots. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes and then wash it out. Your scalp will be thanking you after doing this rinse!
