I just finished a facial of 3 parts yogurt, 2 parts honey, 1 part lemon juice, and my skin feels AMAZING.
Next time I think I’ll try the honey and oat recipe. :)

Jessica ~ I’m really interested to hear about your experiences with emu oil, I’ve seen it for sale here often and always wondered how beneficial it is. I wish I could find more natural makeup too >.< its so hard.

Cherie ~ I’m thrilled that you got some results from the mask, my face always feels so fresh and soft after using it too ^^

I love this subject! I feel like I mentioned it before, but I’d like to advocate Emu Oil. Due to a medication I took, I have extremely dry skin - Emu Oil (refined, not rendered) moisturizes it wonderfully, and it doesn’t take much. Despite being oily, I don’t get the feeling of it being heavy. It was suggested to me by the owner of a small natural grocer in my hometown, but you can find it on the internet.

I have to say, good natural makeup is hard to find. I’d prefer to go without but have uneven skin. Even the id bare minerals makeup, which I loved, has parabens in it! Ugh!

Really though, it’s so interesting how they sell us beauty products, touting that it has tea extract or cucumber or avocado or whatever in it… It never seems to occur to us to cut out the junk and go straight to the all natural good stuff. For some reason we seem to think it won’t work without all the carefully formulated harsh chemicals, but our skin is actually better off without them.

Meriel ~ Yes, you’re right! Sodium Laureth Sulfate is another nasty one. I buy natural based Shampoos, as like you, I am too lazy to make my own. New Ways is a great brand!

Princesse de Porcelaine ~ Please feel free to email me your tips! I would love to share ideas with you. I agree that drinking lots of water is very important, so is getting enough sleep. I will cover these things as well in another part of this article!

Dear Princess Skye,

I am pleased that you are also a fan of natural beauty remedies! I almost only use natural products to take care of my body. I have so much tips I could share with you, if you’d like you could e-mail me and I’d share my favourite ones with you for the other articles of that genre that you plan on writing! In fact, the only not 100% natural products that I use are Lush products, and their products are very “green” too. But I’ll tell you the universal beauty remede: Drinking tons of water. Personally I drink 10 glass of water a day, plus two glass of water for each coffee or (which is very rare) glass of alcohol. Beauty starts on the inside, so taking care of what we eat and drink is primordial to achieve a beautiful skin!

that’s a very interesting topic, I only use natural cosmetics since I discovered what was damaging my hair… in fact in a lot of products there is sodium lauryl sulphate which is even harsher than sodium laureth sulfate, another tip is using something slightly sour like lemon or vinegar in water (a lot of water, maybe a tablespoon per liter) to rinse the hair, it makes it shine even more (but lemon can lighten the hair up, so be careful with that) I’m too lazy for homemade shampoos myself, but if you’re interested I was in a forum where they had lots of different recipes :)
