You Should Use Organic Products

Nature has provided us with all the tools we need to take care of our bodies. Using natural products to take care of your skin can actually make your skin healthier, since there are so many chemicals in things we buy today. Use 100% natural cheesecloth to cleanse your face with. You can use it for a couple days, then get a new piece. You will use this with the following recipe for skin cleansers!

Natural Cleansers Are Best

Here is a lovely recipe for a facial cleanser that is suitable for all skin types. You can use it on your entire body if you like!

1/4 oz (5 g) beeswax
1/2 cup (100 mL) grape seed oil
2/3 cup (120 mL) distilled or spring water
1/2 tsp borax powder
12 drops rosemary essential oil (optional)
8 drops lavender essential oil (optional)
5 drops orange essential oil (optional)

Place the beeswax and the grape seed oil in a heatproof measuring cup in a recently boiled saucepan of water. Stir occasionally until the wax has melted entirely into the oil. Remove from the heat and let it cool to body temperature. Next, warm the distilled or spring water to body temperature and dissolve the 1/2 tsp of borax powder in it. Pour the wax and oil mixture into a bowl and add the water and borax mixture a little at a time, beating it with a hand-held mixer until it reaches a creamy, thick consistency (this should take about five minutes to reach the right consistency.) If you want to add the essential oils, do so now. Stir the mixture until the oils have blended thoroughly.

Organic Hair

There is something beautiful about the gypsy/hippie type hair styles! Just natural and free! And it's an "in" thing among the celebrities! There are some beautiful variations of it, too, so let your hair grow long and carefree for organic beauty...

Natural Makeup

Finding makeup made with natural products is good, yes. But I go further. Forgive me, but some of these crazy makeup trends these days are just that - crazy. Where did the days of using makeup to enhance one's natural beauty go? Makeup should be used to bring out your natural beauty and not to completely hide it. At least, in my opinion anyway.

Red Lips

Did you know that lemons are good for beauty? Not only to they aid in lightening freckles, but believe it or not, they redden lips. They will enhance your lip's natural color by slightly irritating them and increasing blood flow. Who needs lipstick?

Famous Quotes

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Bruce Lee

Pinch the Cheeks

It still works today just like it used to! Pinch your cheeks for a natural blush. You'll be rosey and ready for that date! Who needs blush?

Self-Esteem

When you look in the mirror, don't think "You're fat and ugly...the world's most ugly woman...you need all the help you can get!" Instead, look into your eyes and see the beauty of your irises, see your beautiful face, your natural hair color, complimenting your complexion. See your smile. One can find beauty in anyone, including yourself. Low self esteem is the first step to a lot of bad things done to your body. Take care of it in it's natural state!

Natural beauty is the way to go, and using organic material is perfect for it! What do you think?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I have very sensitive and fair skin, which continues to surprise me when I think I am being careful but then I get a nice red rash. I used Tom's of Maine natural deodorant thinking it would be fine, but of course a bad rash crept underneath my arms. Just be careful with some of the natural products- I like the idea of them, but just be watchful.

Am allergic to aloe vera so most organic skin products are not for me :(

thanks for the great subject :) its my first time hearing about the lemon for lips, how can we use it?

yep, natural is nice but you have to be careful before you try something that might not be for you...

Very useful post, but you know...every woman every day use make up, hides her disadvantages and shows her parts of the body, which are better. All this is natural, sometimes is not easy to keep body in the perfect condition: stress, work, busy days, time limits...so we have to cheat using some artificial or not organic staff=)
