07 Dec Go Natural For the Holidays

Everywhere you look lately is the “go natural” campaign. Hollywood A-List actresses and models are posting selfies without makeup as though they just rolled out of bed. And, big surprise…THEY LOOK AMAZING! Many say they use natural beauty products to keep their hair and skin flawless all year around. The campaign is two-fold. It is teaching young girls that beauty is from within and no one, not even the women you see in magazines are perfect. They all have small blemishes or imperfections. The other lesson is that chemicals do not make one beautiful. Nature has amazing elements that can be used to make a person look and feel like a million bucks!

To accompany the “Go Natural” campaign trend taking the nation by storm, we should go natural with our gift giving this year. We all have those office parties or social events where generic gifts are a necessity. The standard is beauty/bath products for women. When buying gifts for those types of parties, or for the people in your life that truly want to be pampered, we should think natural.

Natural Beauty Aids

There are several items we may find in our kitchen or our backyard that are actually amazing for the skin and hair. Some items include cucumbers, olive oil, oranges, and lavender. Here are some great uses for these items that can help you feel beautiful all year around:

• Cucumbers

  Cucumbers are amazing super foods. They have agents that help clear blemished, rejuvenate skin, relieve sunburn, condition hair, and clean hair. You can drink a glass of cucumber juice or even make a mask for your face or paste for your hair. Many times simply placing sliced cucumbers on your skin can help heal and rejuvenate your skin.

• Olive Oil

  Olive oil is another one of nature’s amazing remedies. It is not only wonderful for your body internally, but it has amazing qualities that help your body’s skin and hair look and feel amazing. Olive oil is an amazing moisturizer that is so gentle on your skin, it can help heal diaper rash. Olive oil also helps reduce the frizzy hair that comes along with harsher weather.

• Oranges 

  Oranges are an amazing fruit that can be used by alone or mixed with milk, or even used as orange juice. Oranges can be rubbed on your skin to help remove acne. Or orange juice can be used to help shrink or open pores, by simply placing the juice on your face. You can mix orange peel powder with milk to help give your skin a natural rosy complexion.

• Lavender 

  Lavender can help treat acne, eczema, burns, and even bug bites. It can also be used to treat alopecia, lice, and dandruff. Lavender oils are wonderful natural remedies. However, it is recommended they not be used on children two years of age or younger.

These are just a few of the many items found in your kitchen or gardens that can help keep you looking beautiful without ever using an ounce of make-up. You can find these items in many natural bath, skincare, and hair care products that would make perfect holiday gifts.
