Only Natural...

We all know that beauty comes from within and no matter what we do to the exterior, if we're not treating our insides right, no amount of beauty treatments are going to help.

However, if you've been following a good diet and exercise regime you will have a good base from which to enhance the skin from the outside.

Only natural is about using natural products to help keep the outside healthy looking. Each month we will add a new treatment for you to try. Let us know how you get on. Have fun!

Milk, cucumber and mint cleanser...
(The ultimate natural beauty book - Josephine Fairley)

Wonderfully cooling and soothing on the skin.
10cm (2 inch) piece of cucumber
5 mint leaves
50ml (2floz) milk
2 drops of grapefruit seed extract (or 4 drops of tincture of benzoin) - you can usually buy this from a good health food store.

Peel the cucumber and chop it roughly. Remove the stalks and chop the mint leaves roughly.

Place the cucumber and mint in a blender or food processor with the milk and blend until smooth.

Pour the mixture into a pan and heat until simmering over a medium heat.

Simmer for a further 2 minutes and allow to cool. Strain through muslin (or a piece of kitchen paper).

Pour the liquid into a sterilised bottle and add the grapefruit seed extract.

Keep the cleanser in the fridge and use within a week.

Tips...

Delay premature greying by keeping your hair as healthy as possible. Drink plenty of water, fruit and vegetable juices. Fresh juice is full of antioxidants that help detoxify the body and protect the pigmented hairs that remain and so delay the onset of premature greying.

Hair Care...

Dull lifeless hair?
Add 1tsp of vinegar to a cup of warm water after shampooing. Leave the mixture on your hair and style as normal. This helps remove the build up of all the hair products you may use.
