A few months ago we asked you, our followers, to share your top organic beauty tips. The responses we got were so interesting that we thought we would share some of our favourites in a blog post. So here they are; some brilliant, organic beauty tips from you!
Organic Beauty Tips From You, Our Followers
Lucie says...
"Cut a circle of muslin out (use a dinner plate to draw around, then cut). Place any of the following on the muslin; oats, dried lavender, dry rose petals, dry marigold flowers. Pull edges of muslin up, tie with ribbon or string. Place in your bath to improve your skin and smell great."
Hannah Jayne says...
"Grapeseed Oil is honestly my holy grail for natural nourishing skincare. I use it to moisturise my sensitive skin every day. You can even use it to remove make-up on delicate areas like your eyes. A gift from nature, I highly recommend trying it out."
Beverly says...
"Cold teabags on the eyes take any puffiness down and give your eyes a fresh feel. Plus I drink a freshly squeezed lemon in boiled water that has cooled in a jug, three times a day."
Sue says...
"Make your own Basil toner using three tablespoons of dried basil and a cup of boiling water. Crush up the leaves and pour over the water, leave to cool then strain out the leaves and put into a small spray bottle. Use to spritz skin after cleansing or keep in the fridge to refresh your face in summer!"
Debbie says...
"I mix Extra Virgin Olive Oil with a little sea salt. It's great as an exfoliater for my face."
Ali says...
"I have almond oil to remove make up, especially eye make up. It's very gentle and effective."
Maria says...
"I use Turmeric for my skin to get a clear, glowing skin tone. It works wonders!"
Cate says...
"I use olive oil for removing makeup and keeping my skin soft and tea tree oil for fungal infections and spots."
Hannah Louise says...
"Use an avocado crushed up and mixed with lemon and honey and mushed into a paste. If you apply this before bed your face will be beautiful and radiant! Obviously make sure you wash it off before you go to sleep."
Caroline says...
"My favourite natural skincare treatment is making my own geranium mask from oatmeal, water, honey and a few drops of geranium oil. It smells amazing and makes my skin feel great."
Sandra says...
"I make my own lip balm using beeswax, Shea butter and coconut oil."
Emily says...
"I use Vitamin E oil to make my eyelashes look longer and it’s great for moisturising."
Chloe Leanne says...
"I put tin foil in the freezer overnight and take it out in the morning, applying it to the eyes and face for a refreshing glow, to reduce puffiness and to reduce spot brake out - it closes pours. Easy, cost effective and great result every time!"
Petra says...
"If you get a bit too much sun, let's say on your shoulders, neck or back, apply a layer of natural yoghurt and leave it on for about 20 minutes. It draws out the heat, moisturises and prevents sunburn. Well that's my natural skincare secret, only it's not a secret anymore!"
Kelly says...
"As I suffer with acne, my favourite remedy is using ice (in a towel) when I know I’m about to get a spot. This stops the pain and brings down the swelling. It also gets rid of spots quickly!"
Juju says...
"I make my own skin spray. I use rose petals, which I boil down in a little water and add rose oil. It smells amazing and it's perfect for spritzing before applying makeup."
Rebecca says...
"Coconut oil does pretty much everything. It's a great hair conditioner, body moisturiser and cuticle moisture. Plus it sorts out dry cracked heels. The list is endless!"
