Nothing is more tasty for the skin than a natural remedy!

Natural Beauty

Real beauty doesn't come from a bottle or a jar - it comes from within us. There is just no substitute for a healthy glow that comes from taking care of yourself naturally with a nutritious diet, regular exercise and plenty of relaxation, rest and play! At the same time, natural beauty and body care treatments can help you look good and feel your best.

Below you will find eight simple nourishing recipes for caring for your hair, teeth, body and face.

  • 10 drops tea tree essential oil
  • 5 drops of lavender essential oil

Warm the almond oil and beeswax in a small pan over low heat until wax is fully melted, add honey, vitamin E capsule, essential oils and then stir thoroughly.

2. Herbal Tooth Powder

Baking soda whitens your teeth and freshens breath. Sea salt tightens the gums. And peppermint oil and ginger fight bacteria and provide flavour.

  • 2 tablespoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely grounded sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried powdered ginger
  • 3 drops peppermint essential oil

Mix all ingredients together and store in airtight container. Use half teaspoon of the paste each time you brush your teeth.

  • 3 drops rosemary essential oil
  • 3 drops lavender essential oil

Cover your hair with a plastic shower cap and leave for 30 minutes. After rinse your hair with lukewarm water and shampoo to remove conditioner.

4. Aloe and Lavender Facial Mist
