Head to toe natural beauty

Every day, more women are increasingly becoming health conscious by going natural. Many women are experimenting with ways to create their own natural cosmetic alternatives. Here are a few examples:

• Enriching facial moisturizers - Extra virgin coconut oil: Anti-aging, high in moisturizing fatty acids and sun-protection agents

• Raw cocoa butter: Available from sellers who bring it from West Africa; this natural substance is very moisturizing and smells absolutely yummy while protecting your skin.

• Raw Shea butter: The white and yellow varieties are now widely available. Melt it in the microwave or the palm of your hand before applying to slightly damp skin.

• Olive oil: This centuries’-old staple works for oily skin as a light daily moisturizer and is suitable for all types of skin as a night cream.

• Carrot oil: Hailed as a natural sunscreen.

• Natural toners: Neem tea, apple cider vinegar and rose water work for combination skin, oily skin and dry sensitive skin respectively.

• Natural facial wash: Bicarbonate of soda is the cheapest, mildest cleansing substance and it always leaves you with baby-soft skin. Just mix with a tiny bit of water and rub in a circular motion.

• Exfoliators: You may use millet, corn flour, maize flour or moringa powder. Mix a little millet flour with some water or oil, rub gently onto your face and rinse gently.
