You need only search the internet to find a multitude of sites which can profess the health benefits of certain foods. However, these all focus on reaping the benefits through consumption. For this post, we are taking a different approach.
Exfoliation
If you are feeling the inner health benefits of nutritious foods, however, find that your exterior still resembles an unhealthier time, an exfoliation is just what you need. Take a small pot and mix plain greek style yogurt and honey until you create a thick paste. Apply this to your face and neck and leave to sit for around 10 to 15 minutes.
As the yogurt rests, the lactic acid it contains works to lift dead skin cells, and as you wash the mixture off with warm water, the fresh and healthier skin that was underneath is allowed to show.
Moisturize
Your skin usually does a good job of maintaining a sufficient level of moisture. However, if you regularly shave you are likely stripping away important oils along with your hair. Instead, visit a laser hair removal studio in Chicago which can remove the hair without the harshness of a razor. Once complete, maintaining the moisture in your now hairless skin is as easy as a trip to the vegetable store. Blend one or two avocados into a smooth cream and apply liberally. Avocados have a healthy dose of Vitamins A, E, and D, which make for a great moisturizer. Leave on for around 10 minutes before wiping off with a damp towel.
Hair
If you read the ingredient list on your shampoo bottle then you will quickly discover that your hair is subjected to a large number of chemicals just to keep it clean and healthy. To replace this with a natural agent, it's a two-part approach.
To clean your hair from oil and hair product build up, mix a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to around 8 ounces of water and use as a hair rinse to remove any leftover products or dirt from the environment.
To keep your hair healthy and free of split ends, pour a small amount of flax oil into the palm of your hands and then rub together. Touch this through your hair, concentrating on any split ends which you may have. Be sure not to overuse this tip as too much use can leave your hair looking and feeling oily.
Food is a great way to feel healthy and, as you have read above, is also a great way to help you look healthy too. The next time you reach for a chemical based beauty product, reach for fresh fruit and vegetables instead.
