Natural Healing with Natural Beauty

So what do you all do for your "natural beauty regime? I thought I would post my own in hopes anyone else out there adds their own as well.

I have made it my hobby to make my own beauty products. I have sensitive skin plus I reason that it doesn't make sense to eat clean when I am slathering Cover Girl all over my face and using sodium Laureth Sulfates on my head and face. So for the past 5 years I have been able to faze out everything unnatural. I use mineral makeup that is bismuth free. Its priced pretty reasonable as well. I order most of it from www. aromoleigh.com or sometimes everyday minerals. Since they don't sell mascara I buy mine at Whole Foods. I wish I could forego the mascara but I have very light lashes and mascara makes me feel dressed up. (sigh)

Allot of the herbs/oils I use I order at Mountain Rose Herbs. I also make my own masks and the are WAY better than anything I can buy at the store. A favorite one I make is 1 part Indian Healing Clay and I part red clay and 1/2 part neem powder and 1/2 part Tutsi powder. I then use plain water or rose water or half water/ vinegar if my skin is extra oily. Now this mask is great about sucking out all the clogged nastiest in the pores. My face is very red afterward but after about 10 minutes it settles into a nice glow and it feels so smooth. Raw honey is amazing as well!

Also this site has allot of recipes for making your own soaps to cosmetics and even "green cleaners". I use allot of their recipes. http://www.makeyourcosmetics.com/index.asp



Also I love this site because it has all sorts of ideas/recipes from cleaners to beauty tips/recipes and natural living and remidies.

I know its just as important what we put IN as what we put on outside and what we use around the house. When I first ditched the drug/department store brands I was worried would I have the unwashed "natural" look that you sometimes see from people that forgo anything natural. Well I can say after 5 years of doing this I get more compliments on my look than when I was putting on a toxin laden cocktail everyday. I encourage everyone to be their own beauty product developer, after all YOU can control the ingredients! Hope this helps.
