tip 1: All Natural and all Beautiful!
Make use
of Shea butter plus almond oil combo as your body lotion. Run it between your
hands first and then, apply all over your body straight, when you go out of the
shower to lock in moisture, it will add wonderful softness and soothe dry skin.
Another bonus – this natural body lotion is completely chemicals-free!

tip #2: Smooth shave
To avoid
razor-burn and soften coarse hair before shaving, apply olive oil on your legs
prior to shaving, if you don’t have olive oil, you can use hair conditioner
instead. Both of these products will help to shave smoothly and easily, leaving
your skin supple and tender to touch.

tip #3: Oil treatment for “glossy” hair
Dying
your hair can make it overly dry. To add “life” and moisture back into your
locks make a simple coconut oil hair mask once a week. To make this hair mask,
slightly warm up 2 table spoons of coconut oil on a warm bath (make sure the
oil isn’t too hot and is comfortable to touch!), apply it on the roots of your
hair and spread to the lengths. Put on shower cup on your head and, then, cover
it all up with a towel. Leave the oil on your hair for about 30 minutes or 1
hour (you can even leave it overnight, the longer – the better), then, wash and
condition, as usual. This wonderful oil treatment can bring a “new life” to
damaged colored hair, adding healthy shine and wonderful softness.

tip #4: Nails lightening made easy
Cut a
lemon in half and stick nails of your both hands into it. Keep it in for about
5 minutes, then wash your hands. Lemon juice will help naturally lighten your
nails and make them stronger.
Beauty
tip #5: What’s in between?
Eat fresh
fruits between your meals. Not only this habit will boost your metabolism and
will help keep your weight in check, but also, it will have a wonderful
positive influence on the way your skin looks, adding healthy glow and pretty
“rosiness” to your cheeks.
Chose
healthy snacks instead of junk food, snacks that are rich in fiber and
vitamins: fresh fruits, berries, nuts and dried fruits; these healthy snacks
are a lot better for the beauty of your skin, hair and nails, than chips, cakes
or candies.

tip #6: Let beauty last forever…
To look
young and beautiful for longer – it’s important to appropriate right eating
habits and chose healthy foods, instead of “lifeless” ones! How to distinguish
the best foods for the beauty and youth of your skin? What are “anti-ageing”,
healthy and “life-filled” foods? Well, here is an easy tip: all fresh, brightly
colored fruits and vegetables, rich in vitamins and antioxidants, and all
products that come directly from the earth, preferably without packaging, nor
thermal treatment – all these are healthy and anti-ageing foods that we should
stick to, if we desire to preserve our youth and beauty for longer and, if we
desire to have vibrant health forever.

tip #7: Find yourself another comfort
Never
turn to food for comfort. Instead, listen to your favorite music, call a friend
or go for a walk…eat only when you are hungry.
Beauty
tip #8: Everyone loves massages, your hair is no exception!
To
enhance the quality of your hair – give a gentle massage to your scalp using
good, natural oil of your choice (coconut oil, castor oil, or even olive oil
will do a great job); not only massaging your scalp will improve circulation,
but also oil will generously nourish your skin. Do this massage once a week or,
at least, once a month for better results. To do this pleasant treatment
slightly warm up the oil on a water bath, make sure that it’s lukewarm, not
hot! We want to treat our scalp, not burn it! Gently massage your head with
your fingertips dipped in oil, concentrating on the roots first and then,
spread the oil to the lengths of your hair. It’s even preferable that someone
does it for you, it can be such a relaxing and pleasant experience! After
you’ve finished scalp-massage, you can keep the oil on your hair for about 30
minutes and then, wash and condition your hair as usual. This hair beauty
ritual can significantly improve the look and texture of your hair.
Beauty
tip #9: To stimulate hair follicles try this:
– Twice
daily, gently massage your scalp in circular motions with your fingers for
couple of minutes to improve blood circulation in your scalp, thus, naturally
encouraging hair growth.
– Try
flipping your hair upside down for 30 seconds every day. This will also help
stimulate hair follicles.
Beauty
tip #10: What to avoid?
Avoid
washing your hair every day, because doing so, you stimulate hair follicles to
produce more sebum, making your hair look greasy very quickly. Wash your hair
once every 4-6 days, thus, giving your hair time to naturally produce hydration
and moisture that your hair needs. You can use dry shampoo or a baby powder in
between hair washes.
Beauty
tip #11: How to accelerate the process?
To
accelerate hair growth try this simple homemade mask: mix one table spoon of
powdered mustard with a little bit of lukewarm water, till you obtain
“yogurt-like” mass. Add 2 eggs and 2 table spoons of olive oil. Mix thoroughly
all the ingredients and apply the mask on the roots of your hair, avoiding the
lengths, keep it on for 20-25 minutes, then shampoo and condition as usual. The
mask will have a hitting effect because of mustard, thus, stimulating hair
follicles very intensively, resulting in quicker hair growth. Note: if the mask
hurts too much – rinse immediately. Also, make sure you are not allergic to any
of the ingredients prior doing this mask. (For better results, you can make
this mask once every two weeks, in total about 5-7 times.)
