6. Drink water. By drinking 2 liters of good water a day you ensure your skin will be glowing, prevent dry skin and eliminate skin blackheads.

2 Simple Steps To A Healthy Looking Skin

Protect your skin naturally from the harmful sun rays, from pollution and other environmental harmful factors using simple products that you already have in your pantry.
Here are 2 steps to keep your healthy looking skin on just pennies:

Step 1- Scrub away! 
Natural skin scrub made with the juice from 1 lemon, 1 tbs. baking soda and 1/2 tbs. olive oil. Combine all together, mix well and massage on your face with circular motions for about 5 minutes. The acidity from the lemon juice will soften the dead skin cells and the baking soda will wipe them away while the olive oil will softly moisturize while scrubbing. 

Step 2 - Hydrate!
Make a mixture from 1/2 avocado, 1 tbs. organic honey and 1/2 tbs. mayonnaise. Let sit in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes and then apply cold to your face. Keep this mask on your skin for 30 minutes then rinse away with lukewarm water. Discard any remaining mixture as best results are obtained with fresh mixture.

Voila! After these 2 simple steps your face will feel fresh and smooth, glowing after exfoliating old layers of dead skin and ultimately healthy!

Healthy Beauty With DIY Natural Products

When it comes to cosmetics we are all very attracted by the beautiful packaging, great smell or inventive jar shapes and we throw ourselves over pricey products without even bothering to read the ingredients on those labels. And there we are, at home in our bathroom piling up the little cabinet yet with another nice jar of cream that actually does not work on your skin! Sounds familiar? So, instead of wasting money, time and causing health damages with those over-the-counter cosmetics how about try to make your own cream that fits your skin type better yet with ingredients from your pantry! Here are three recipes for a DIY, organic beauty products that can be made easily at home by anyone and they are parabens and chemicals free.

1. Body Scrub
1/2 cup epsom salt;
2 tbs. coconut oil;
3 drops mint oil.
Mix well the first 2 ingredients until get a paste and then add the third one and mix a little bit longer. Store the paste into an airtight container. Use it in the shower by applying a small amount over your body with a loofah to get maximum result. Benefits: skin gets scrubbed due to the epsom salt, hydrated due to the coconut oil and invigorated due to the mint oil. Best time to use it: morning showers for an uplifting effect.

2. Hair Conditioner with only 2 ingredients:
1/2 avocado;
1 tbs. coconut oil.
Mix well the two ingredients into a glass bowl. Apply on dry hair before shower. Cover hair with a plastic shower cap for 20 minutes. Wash your hair as usual with your shampoo and do not apply any conditioner. Hair will become silky with a healthy body texture. For better results apply this hair mask every week. For even better results use an organic shampoo without harsh chemicals.

3. Foot Balm
3 tbs.coconut oil;
1 tbs. shea butter;
10 drops tea tree essential oil.
Mix the first two ingredients over low heat until melted then add the tea tree oil and stir.Store in an airtight container. Massage feet with this moisturizer focusing on dry and cracked areas and use soft socks to cover your feet immediately.Store cream in refrigerator. Use 2-3 times/week for incredible soft and relaxed feet. The bonus is the tea tree oil that has antifungal benefits besides the deep moisturizing from coconut oil and shea butter mixture.
