Home Remedies
- Facial Treatments: Plain Yogurt is a cleanser and mild exfoliating action using lactic acid instead of scrubbing granules. Removes dry skin naturally and leaves your skin feeling wonderful. Use alone or mix with a banana, apply to face and leave on for 20min. Other options, honey and mashed banana, or avocado. All very nourishing and high in vitamins and minerals.
- Body Scrubs: For dry winter skin, try a homemade skin scrub. Equal amounts of fine brown sugar and olive oil or another oil of choice. Rub on using light circular motions. Add a bit of honey for extra vitamins and minerals. Shower thoroughly after.
- Hair Treatment: For dry overworked hair, mix one egg yolk and 1 T liquid castile soap. Leave on 5-6 minutes to strengthen the scalp and possibly prevent hair loss. Or try 1 avocado with 2T warmed grapeseed oil and olive oil. Massage into hair, add shower cap for 15min. Longer hair may require doubling recipe.
- Honey is great for chapped skin. Apply to chapped lips, cracked heels and rough elbows before bed. A honey facial is very hydrating and nourishing.
Treating your skin from the inside out, eat a diet rich in essential fatty acids, magnesium, vitamin C and beta-carotene. Some ideas may include: dark chocolate, salmon, fatty fish, oranges, mango, carrots.
