Natural Homemade Cosmetics Tips

Beauty is one of the most discussed topics as it affects how people
carry on their day to day lives. In almost all societies beauty is a
universal thing that everyone unanimously agrees that it's a treasured
possession. With that in mind, lots of money is spent on purchasing
beauty products some of which end up making the user worse due to the
chemicals contained in them.

Since time immemorial people have invented homemade remedies to use in
various beauty treatments. This has especially been encouraged by the
fact that people are becoming aware that most of the beauty treatments
available on the shelves contain harmful chemicals that cause very
adverse health effects especially if used for long periods.

For a soft skin, tea tree oils, aloe vera and neem plants extracts can
be used to make a natural skin moisturizer. They are especially useful
to people with dry skin conditions as their special nutrients will
promote good health of the skin and make it smoother and younger.

For naturally dark hair, chemicals such as henna are recommended as it
also acts as a hair conditioner that gives the hair both body and
strength. Another plant called Salvia Oficinalis can be used to make
the hair darker. The treatment is made by mixing 15 grams of the plant
in a liter of water. It's then kept for two hours and later strained
before being poured on the hair. This mixture should stay for half an
hour and then the hair is rinsed with a generous amount of water.

For a skin moisturizer, beeswax or honey is applied in the skin and
then left for a period of 30 minutes. For best results, the honey
should be unprocessed or if processed, should not contain any
chemicals.

A mixture of ripe avocados and the white part of the egg can be used
to make a hair conditioner. The mixture is kept for a period of two
hours so that the two ingredients can blend in. Its then applied on
the already cleaned hair and can stay for one hour or more depending
on the wish of the user.

in small bits then placed on the eyes. These slices are believed to
suck out impurities from the eyes. The eucalyptus and mint plants are
used for fresher breath. This remedy is quite simple and needs no
mixtures. The person should simply chew either the leaves or small
twigs of these plants for instantaneous results. This remedy was
actually used long before toothpaste was invented.

For relaxing fragrant bath, ingredients such as lavender and Salvia
Officinal are put in a muslin bag and hanged from a hot water tap such
that the water passes through it. This extracts the natural oils and
the fragrance of the herbs into the water. The extracts can also be
used when doing a relaxing body massage and also for relieving
rheumatism.
