Natural Beauty...Makeup, Hair and Teeth

Buying natural beauty products for makeup and hair is not as difficult as I thought it would be. I recently changed my cosmetics after wearing the same brand since high school. Wow! I have been having more allergies lately and I thought I would change my makeup to see if that would make a difference. What I found was very interesting.

First off, my makeup did not cause my allergies. So I will continue to work on that. However, when I changed to an all-natural approach I found my skin to be more moisturized and younger looking. I have no wrinkles yet, which is good for someone “over the hill.”

Here is my morning routine…I have stopped using soap. Soap seems to be harsh to the face so I now wash with water first. Then I use apple cider vinegar as a rinse. Be careful with the eyes. Apple cider vinegar has so many benefits that include help with acne, age spots and sunburn. I then rinse with water. As a side note, apple cider vinegar is great when used as a deodorant as well. My next step is to use castor oil. The benefits of castor oil are numerous, but what I like is that it moisturizes my skin naturally. It lengthens my lashes as well. Next I put my eyeliner on. To be honest, I did try the natural eye liner, but I do not use it since it runs after an hour or so. If anyone knows of a good natural eye liner, let me know. I then put on eye concealer from 100% Pure as well as my fruit pigmented tinted moisturizer which really looks like a light foundation. I love their fruit pigmented cheek tint also that I also use on my lips after I’ve applied my vitamin E lip care.

I also ordered from Vapour Beauty the sample kit which includes 5 samples for $15 and each sample contains 1 to 2 uses. I really like their products and their quality, especially the Vapour Luminous Foundation. I will definitely be ordering more from them in the future.

I feel that if you don’t take care of your skin at an early age, it will look like leather or mega-wrinkly by middle age. I also believe that whatever you put on your skin, will be absorbed into your body and eventually into your bloodstream. My recent all-natural approach to everything is not an option anymore. It’s all about health for me now.One last item that I really like is Naturtint, it’s an all natural hair color. It covers great, there is no ammonia, resorcinal or paragen and it is certified organic with all natural ingredients. I think Vitacost might have the best price around. I originally went to a health food store to look at the charts to match the right hair color. Since then I have just been buying it direct from Vitacost.

I now love using mostly natural products. Washing your hair with baking soda and rinsing with apple cider vinegar is an option as well. You would be surprised to find how clean your hair really gets. Rinsing your mouth with hydrogen peroxide (see my post) once in a while or brushing with baking soda keeps your “pearly whites” pretty white as well.

Natural products are amazing and a lot cheaper too! Try it, you might like them.
