thankyouOrganic/natural beauty products?
these ideas i have written are brilliant i would recommend all of them! (apart from the parts ive said dont do!)





lemon juice gives you highlights but if you use too much your hair goes like straw so you have to use conditioner as well! also dont go swimming for a few days other wise youll end up with green hair!





camomile is also great for blonde hair! add a spoonful of honey to a cup of camomile tea let it cool and use it as a rinse!





a small cup of coffee can add depth and shine to brunette or darker hair! dont use instant if you can help it use leftover cafetiere coffe or espresso if you can get your hands on it! let the coffee cool and pour it in your hair leave it in for 10 mins then rinse it out!





for russet tones use a cup of tosehip tea as a rinse!





Henna is great for putting in red tones! easy to use just mix it into a paste leave in hair for a couple of hours then wash if off!





I doubt you will, but NEVER be tempted to dye with food dye! at the first hint of rain the colour will pour down your face! not a good look!





skin care:





you can make your own lip balm/lip gloss





add a teaspoon of olive oil and salt or sugar (depending on your taste) and use on lips! you'll be surprised on what it can do!





camomile tea bags are great for soothing tired or puffy eyes!


soak the teabags in cold water then place over eyes for 10-15 minutes!





ice cold cucumber brightens the whites of your eyes!


use them for 10-15 minutes!





home made facial scrubs:


1. mash up 2 strawberries wtih a teaspoon of brown sugar. use all over face then rise off.


2. mix 1 teaspoon of honey, half a teaspoon lemon juice and 2 teaspoons of fine oatmeal (porridge oats)


use all over face then wash off with warm water.





home made face masks:





mashed banana, leave on for 10 minutes then wash off


or mashed avocado with a little honey


for the full spa effect use cucumber slices, or cotton pads in water or cool weak tea DO NOT USE PG TIPS otherwise you will look like a panda





steaming:


over a hot bowl of steaming water place your head with a towwl over to trap all the steam and breathe in and out for 5 minutes then splash your face with cold water this closes the pores!


this method works wondersfor black heads and spots!





yummy scrubby on my tummy body scrub:





5 tablespoons of sunflowre oil and 4 tablespoons of soft brown sugar and add one heapd teaspoon of cocoa (NOT the drinkking type it must be the ral thing!) mix thoroughly and use over you body (best in the shower because quite runny) wash it off with you favourite soap of body wash and your skin will feel like velvet!





sugar and lime body scrub:





5 tablespoons of olive oilwith 4 tablespoons of caster sugar and add 5 drops of lime essential oil (please be careful with essential oils they're very concentrated so never use more than reccomended!) this is a lovely invigorating scrub!

there are websites on how to make your own. i use things like cider vinegar, greek yoghurt, oatmeal, almond oil and herb extracts and i make all my own beauty products with fantastic results. it's all on the web, do some research, try a few things and work out what's best for your skin. I even make my own shampoos and conditioners.
my favorite is Alba it works sooo well.
Superdrug has a new range out. It's natural and is called vitamin. I use this and think it's brill.Cheap as well
