Well start natural cosmetics

1. don't apply to his skin what we wouldn't eat!

Trust nature: raw products contain much more assets than the creams purchased in the trade, which will push your skin to produce less sebum and thus require ever more cream. a vicious circle that benefits the industry! Make your home masks at the moment, 1-2 times a week, using superfoods (clay, marine plasma, chlorella, honey, raw cocoa, banana).

2. not playing apprentice chemists... staying simple is the most effective!

as in food, limit the number of ingredients will allow you to make the most of their virtues (3 or 4 maximum, it is already very well!) for your oil mixtures, keep them fresh in an opaque glass bottle and add a few drops of vitamin e to avoid any risk of rancid. for aqueous mixtures, the grapefruit seed extract will serve as a natural preservative.

3. oils are the ideal cleaner

makeup, sebum, pollution... vegetable oils effectively prevent impurities: much more than a micellar water or a cleansing milk! They are even suitable for fatty skins. For example, hemp oil does not mouth pores and its composition is very close to human sebum. with bonus anti-inflammatory and soothing action. Mix it in your palm with a little isotonic flower or sea plasma. Emulsion, massage your face and remove with a washable cotton.

oils will also allow to moisturize the skin for the day and to prevent pollution and uv. remove the excess with a cotton imbibed with hydrolat or isotonic plasma.

for the night, it will be better to let your skin rest after cleaning.

4. save thanks to multi-use products

ricin oil is a small jewel for tired hair, fragile eyelashes, brittle nails, sparse eyebrows, dry feet. other all-in-one product, the liniment oleo-calcaire acts as a cleansing, body milk, moisturizing face, after-soleil care... it is ideal for sensitive, dehydrated or irritated skins (couperosis, eczema).

5. nourishing your skin from the inside remains the best solution!

cosmetics improve the quality of the epidermis, but can not act on the deep layers of the skin (dermal and hypodermis.) nutrition and micro-nutrition then take over!

well moisturize with filtered water, vegetable juice to the extractor, fresh coconut water or full of fruit remains the safest way to have a beautiful skin. regular microalgae treatments such as spirulina, chlorella and klamath will further promote the production of collagen and keratin thanks to their very complete intake of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and unsaturated fatty acids, to maintain a good hydration and contribute to the repair of the skin.
