What Women Want…Be A Natural Beauty

25 March, 2015 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

The beauty industry is a $300 billion dollar empire. Everyday we’re surrounded by tips, tricks and products that promise to make us look younger and prettier. Whether it’s smoothing out crow’s feet or tightening up bums there’s an invention out there that says it can deliver, the problem is this delivery usually comes with a price tag large enough to add a few more lines and gray hairs! If you don’t fancy spending a week’s wages on the latest wrinkle melting, collagen injecting miracle cream made of dragon’s blood and unicorn tears, why not try some of these natural remedies to feel and look young that won’t break the bank!
For starters, the idea of beauty is to make someone feel good and to emphasise their features rather than covering them up under a trowel laden layer of foundation. Feeling beautiful should be a pain free, luxurious process. Here’s some easy, cheap ways to get you on the way to feeling fabulous!
• Sugar Scrub
Sugar may be bad for your body but it’s great for your skin! Because your skin doesn’t metabolize fructose and glucose like your fat cells do it is a great way to tighten up pores and smooth out skin! A sugar scrub in a shop might set you back $20 so head to your kitchen instead. Mix equal parts white, brown or raw sugar with olive or almond oil and add essential oils of choice (to give it a nice smell). Rub this mixture onto your skin and massage for a couple of minutes then rinse off with warm water!
• Egg-Nana Hair Treatment
This is a good one if you have any extra breakfast food left over. Want shiny locks? Open the fridge and mix up one egg and a mashed banana. Apply this as a thick paste to your hair and leave on for half an hour. Wash out as you usually would and you’ll have touchable tresses in no time.
• Honey Face Mask
Raw honey is one of the natural world’s greatest treasures. Not only is it anti-bacterial and never goes off but it is also great for getting soft skin! Once a week gently warm a tablespoon of raw honey by rubbing in-between your fingers and rub it evenly onto your face. Leave on for ten minutes and then delight in your after honey-glow after you rinse off with warm water.
• Pesky Black Heads Be Gone!
Drizzle raw honey over a fresh lemon wedge and rub the wedge into your problem areas for a minute. Leave the mixture to work it’s magic for five minutes and rinse with cold water. Your blackheads should diminish after a month
We hope you find these tips useful but remember that the key to looking and feeling great is eating properly, getting as much sleep as you can and running around when you have time. These are just added extras to give your body a little treat. Stay fabulous!
