With the FDA not changing any regulations for beauty products in over 60 years, it’s safe to say leaning towards all-natural products for beauty regimes is one of the safest things to do. Not sure where to start on your endeavor into natural beauty? Try your kitchen.
- Coconut oil
-
I first started using coconut oil after reading a suggestion that it keeps the skin hydrated. As a person with chronic dry skin, it quickly became a life saver and a product I cannot go without. Coconut oil is composed primarily of nourishing fatty acids and is especially high in lauric acid. It also contains vitamin E and healthy fats, which help to make skin smooth.
- Apple cider vinegar
-
Apple cider vinegar has astringent properties, which helps to increase the blood flow to the skin and minimize pores. If you have oily skin, this is a great remedy. If you have dry skin, I suggest mixing it with your favorite moisturizer or using it as a toner and applying moisturizer directly after. It also regulates the pH level of your skin.
- Avocado oil
-
Avocado oil is an amazing remedy for dry hair. It is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids that nourish and strengthen the hair follicles while providing moisture that gives your hair a spectacular shine. Besides combating dryness, avocado oil also promotes growth by providing vitamin E, which is absorbed into the scalp and hair shafts to stimulate growth while protecting against damage.
