Beauty Answer: It is true that there are makeup removers that contain pollutants that can be quite harmful to your skin. Therefore, a natural method would be wise to keep skin safe and healthy. Olive oil is an Eco-friendly product that can be used to remove cosmetics. Scared that olive oil will fail to remove “tougher” makeup products? Have no fear because olive oil can remove lipstick, eye liner and even mascara which we all know can be a toughie at times.
We have talked a lot about the use of natural products when it comes to skin as well as haircare. There is a reason why our grannies used shea butter and passed the torch and beauty tip down to us. Shea butter is an all natural product that comes with numerous benefits.
Shea Butter has natural antibacterial properties that make it great for preventing stretch marks, wound healing and it can also be used as an anti-aging treatment for skin. With so many products on the market right now that are chalk full of chemicals that can irritate our skin, shea butter is a refreshing alternative. Nevertheless, do not just think that this jewel of nature can only do wonders for your skin. Shea butter also can work its magic on your hair, but we’ll discuss more on that in a future post.
