And now, without further adieu, here are 5 all-natural beauty products for Y-O-U to try.

1. Argan Oil
Argan oil is multi-faceted and has some miraculous capabilities. It can take your hair from drab to luscious and your skin from dry to luxurious. Even if your skin or hair has an oily base, argan oil is still a great choice in smaller amounts. Try this hair kit from One ‘n Only, which contains a shampoo and conditioner duo, along with an oil treatment.
Price: $35.95, Kit is available from Style Bell

Celestial is gentle moisturizer created for people with sensitive skin. This skin cream is exclusively available at Lush, a brand that only uses all-natural ingredients. Not to mention, their products smell divine. Celestial has a cocoa butter base and doesn’t contain any alcohols. It contains a blend of vanilla water, almond milk, and fresh dove orchid. Your skin will feel delicate and soft. Sounds amazing, right? It’s magical.

This product has become increasingly popular over the past few years, and it’s not hard to understand why. Why beat your face with pore-clogging powder when there’s a better option?

These SPF 15 formulas will provide you with air-brush quality skin and flawless coverage, with a 30-day supply. No harmful chemicals are included. Voila, you are going back to your roots of natural beauty!

So, you can find a shade that’s right for class and another for a night out on the town. Magnificent! At the price of $7.00 for a great lip balm, you save your cha-ching.

5. Baby Powder
Let’s face it every woman wants her hair to look clean after she’s washed it, and not like she just came back from the gym. Here’s a tip I learned from two super-cool friends a few weeks ago. Sprinkle baby powder on your hairbrush after showering and gently brush the consistency through your hair. The amount of oil from both your conditioner and scalp will be significantly reduced. Be sure to brush all of the powder thoroughly through your hair or you’ll get a preview of what you would look like in your mid-sixties (if you catch my drift).
Price: $3.99, Available at Target, Wal-Mart, and most grocery and drug store locations
