top 5 natural beauty tips for summer
Skin and hair care is always evolving. The weather is also changing as we move into the final months of 2020. With makeup taking a back seat and skin and hair care coming to the forefront, natural beauty tips are all any beauty maven is buzzing about these days. With each season comes its own set of concerns, so we list out the .
Natural Salicylic Acid Exfoliation.
Salicylic acid is one of the best skin exfoliators as it effectively treats acne, removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores. This amazing exfoliating agent is also present in grapefruit. Grapefruits are also rich in vitamin A and C and are easily available in the market. Creating a scrub with the membrane of this fruit will help get rid of acne on your face and even breakouts that occur on your back and chest.
Tip: Cut up a grapefruit and keep the pith and membrane aside. Add the membrane and pith to a blender along with half cup sugar and three tablespoons almond oil. Blend for 45 seconds and then transfer the mix to a jar. Use it twice a week.
Baking Soda Cleanse.
Baking soda is another kitchen ingredient that makes for a stellar cleanser. Half a teaspoon of it can be added to your face wash to make for a more thorough cleanse and avoid any bacteria from causing further breakouts. The same hack can also be used to make your shampoo lather much better and thoroughly cleanse your scalp, although you must follow up with a conditioner.
Tip: A pinch of baking soda on your toothpaste and toothbrush can help clean and whiten teeth. Just use this hack once in a week or less.
Coconut Oil Massage.
Massaging your body from head to toe with coconut oil will do you a lot of good. You are already aware of its benefits for hair. Your skin will be saved from dryness if you massage it with coconut oil regularly before a bath. This will also help with muscle and joint pain.
Tip: Apply coconut oil to the soles of your feet before you go to bed, to get a relaxing slumber.
Sea Salt Hair Scrub.
If you are suffering from dandruff that won’t go away, a natural hair scrub can work wonders in banishing this condition. Sea salt can exfoliate dandruff and flakes on your scalp while soothing it. It is also loaded with essential minerals that can be good for your scalp in moderation.
Part your hair and sprinkle sea salt on the exposed scalp areas. Massage the salt into your scalp with damp fingers. Once you’ve covered all the itchy areas, proceed to wash your hair with a shampoo and conditioner. You will feel relieved instantly.
Tip: Do this immediately before a hair wash and don’t skip conditioner.
Tea Tree Oil Infused Moisturiser.
Tea tree oil is a popular acne-fighting ingredient that many swear by. If you already have a good moisturiser that works for your skin type, but you need some extra help to treat that acne, mix some tea tree oil with it before applying it on your skin.
Tea tree oil can instantly make your regular moisturiser a fierce acne-fighter. Take a pea-sized amount of your moisturiser on the top of your palm and add a drop of tea tree oil to it. Mix it with your finger and apply it to your face.
Tip: You could even dab tea tree oil directly on the acne lesion.
