Here is the link to my Amazon store that has some of my favorite hair & skin products.
When I was growing up, I remember wishing I could have healthy, long hair. I wanted to figure out how I could make my hair super healthy. Healthy hair doesn't just depend on what you use on it, but even more importantly is what you choose to put in your mouth. The nutrients & hydration you get make a huge difference. I can give you tips and information on what I do but always listen to what your own body needs. I'm going to categorize what I do physically on the outside external & then internal to make it more simplified.

External... *First thing in the morning, I tip my head down and massage my whole scalp and all along my hair line with my fingertips and heels of hands. When I brush my hair, I start from the ends up, to lessen any breakage. I do tip my head down and brush from the back of the scalp down to the ends, flip up and brush again right side up, from scalp to ends. Brushing also cleans your scalp and a clean scalp allows your hair to grow healthier.

*When I wash my hair I really massage the shampoo in good with my fingertips on every part of my scalp. Always washing at least twice. Only purposely putting the shampoo on my scalp area as I don't want to dry my hair out.

*I do a deep hair treatment with my regular conditioner once a week with my regular conditioner & leave it on for at least 5 minutes. After I wash my hair, not purposely putting shampoo anywhere but where my scalp is as to not dry my hair out.

*Once or twice a month I do a deeper longer treatment, leaving it on as long as I can. Batana oil and a few drops each of peppermint & rosemary essential oil. Massage into hair and scalp. Leave on at least an hour, longer if you can. Wash your hair... it takes me 4-5 washes to get it out. Then I do my conditioner from the bottom of my scalp to the ends of my hair, avoiding the hair closest to my scalp as it gets more moisture naturally.

*I get my hair trimmed every three to four months. I rarely use a blow dryer or any heat on my hair. The curls in the picture on the left above were done by no heat curls. If I use a blow dryer, I use a Bioionic. For a limited time you can go to this link for 30% off. http://rwrd.io/_LVIT4R1?s

*Any time I feel my hair needs some extra moisture such as when I'm sitting out in the heat at my kids ballgames, I spray rose water on it. I use a lot of rose water and buy it by the gallon and refill my bottles.

NATURAL MAKEUP BODY PRODUCTS
NATURAL MAKEUP BODY PRODUCTS
This is me at 45, with my 1st grandchild. It took me awhile years ago to find a makeup that I would use. I don't wear a lot, but I refuse to use the junky chemical products that I believe shouldn't even be sold much less used. Click here to see the company that I trust...they have more than just makeup...they have nontoxic nail polish, body products, hair, face, etc. I love this company.... For natural skin care I also love these products & these products. Get the Yuka app to scan & check your products & food & drinks.

This is what I use for our handsoap...I just get the reusable foam pumps and do about 3/4 purified water and 1/4 Castile Soap... optional to add some drops of essential oils... You can also order Dr. Bronners straight from their site.

Here is what I am currently using on my face... In the morning, I use castor oil on my face & neck, then do my face tools. At night, I use safflower, almond, or rosehip carrier oil as my oil cleanse massaging it on my face & neck, put a hot wash cloth over my face until it cools down and then clean my face. Sometimes I will use my peppermint sugar soap on my face in the shower. Next I use a vitamin C night moisturizer. I also use the castor oil roller and roll it all around my eyes & on my eyelashes. Castor oil is safe for eyes, and in fact is used dry eyes, eye infections, cataracts, strengthens & helps hair grow including eyelashes & eyebrows, dark circles & under eye wrinkles.
If you are still using the toxic deodorants/anti-perspirants, please look here for some of the best natural you can get. I also spray magnesium oil on my armpits & stomach right before I go to sleep. This not only makes you not stink but increases your magnesium levels.
You can also do a manuka honey mask for anti-aging, leaving on as long as you can. This is supposed to be better than botox. Once or twice a week and maximum results seen doing consistently for three months.
My skin care coming soon :)
