With the organic trend reaching new heights every day, you never know where its going to be taken next. Have you seen Jessica Alba’s non-toxic baby care company? The Honest Company is amazing, I can only imagine what else can be made non-toxic and organic. One thing people do know for sure though, is that it is expensive to live a completely organic lifestyle. So here are some recipes your own beauty products, it doesn’t get more organic than that!
The first beauty recipe is a great detoxifying moisturizer. Store bought lotions and creams can lock in so many chemicals in your body that it makes it more difficult for you to lose weight! This moisturizer was created by the founder of G2 Organics, Cherie Corso, who belives there are too many toxins in beauty products, so she mixes her own!
-Lemon grass oil helps the body naturally detoxify and eliminate.
-Borax powder is a natural chemical substance, can be found in the detergent section of the grocery store.
-Beeswax heals and absorbs easily in the body.
-Add vitamin E, for extra moisturize.
(use glass mixing containers)
1/4 teaspoon borax powder
2 tablespoons grated beeswax
1 tablespoon lemon grass oil
Dissolve the borax in water, set aside.
Next boil some water, place a glass jar in it of the mixture of the bees wax and your oils. Now slowley marry the two, pour the borax in, keep mixing, stir briskly. Then pour lotion into a clean container with a lid, let cool.
The next recipe is a revitalizing body scrub from beauty expert, David Pollock, and it is extremely easy to make. Body scrubs today are so full of unnecessary perfumes, but this one smells naturally delicious!
-3 cups of Sea Salt (coarse or fine, its up to you!)
-3/4 cup of Sweet Almond Oil
-3-4 drops of Essential Oil (I suggest Peppermint or Spearmint)
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Use by massaging over
body to exfoliate rough, dead skin cells. Rinse well and
follow with moisturizer.
