I love all these ideas!
Im def one to try to do the most natural thing and am getting better all the time with finding natural remedies.
I love raw, unfiltered African shea butter. Its a great moisturizer for dry months in the winter for me. Way better than lotion crap.lol I use it on my feet and put socks on after I give myself a pedi. Good to sleep in too, next morning theyre super soft. Now some will say they dont care for the scent of shea butter, but I dont think there is much of scent, and its not offending to me. I will def be trying coconut oil/butter.
I love taking half a lemon and throwing it in a footbath and soaking my feet for about 10 mins then rubbing them down with either sea salt or sugar. The acidity helps rid the feet of dead skin and helps to soften calluses, bleaches/whitens toe nails too! Of course before all of this I go over any sort of rough spots on my feet with me ped-egg.
When i want a relaxing bath that will moisturize I use either raw honey, almond oil, or milk. Or all three plus a few drops of lavender essential oil or eucalyptus oil.
I love to make a moisturizing and exfoliaiting mask by mixing honey and sugar together and leaving on my face for abt 15-20mins. Banana is supposed to be great for a mositurizing mask, but Ive only done this twice. Actually all kinds of fruit can be used in a mask. Ill be trying the ground rice though when I get a new blender. lol
Milk helps calms redness from irritation and sunburns. Feels very soothing!
Cold green tea bags for puffy eyes, feels very nice too!
Apple cider vinegar as a toner after I wash my makeup off. Apple cider vinegar has LOTS of health benefits, just google it. Ide like to get in the habit again of drinking warm water with it mixed in every am because its soo beneficial. My great great grandmother did and I believe she lived to be 101 or so and looked great into her old age too.
I use shea butter or almond oil on my lips to relieve chapiness. Use sugar and drop or 2 of water to exfoliate dead skin off lips, makes nice n rosy red too.
I think thats about it! Cant wait to try the other ideas![]()
