A couple of years ago my husband and I decided to adopt a more natural and Eco- Friendly approach in our household and life. This meant changing most of our cleaning supplies, pet supplies and daily beauty/grooming essentials to avoid products that contain harsh and toxic chemicals.
Something that has helped us create self awareness about the products we use in our day to day lifestyles is reading product labels. This has encouraged us to shift towards natural products, free of harsh chemicals, and not tested on animals.
Honestly, now that we have information literally at our fingertips, it is easy to research, compare products and even order them at the comfort of your home.
Since this is a beauty blog I'm only going to share beauty products that I use in my daily routine.
- Extremely moisturizing, it will keep your skin hydrated and also create a protective barrier from the elements.
- Anti-bacterial and anti-fungi. I use it for anything from mosquito bites, cuts, burn and pimples.
- Great as a deep conditioning hair treatment.
- Natural makeup remover.
I have been using coconut oil every single day for years. Its uses are endless in cooking, as a makeup remover, and my all time favorite is as a body moisturizer and deep hair conditioning treatment.
Coconut oil has been demonstrated to have anti-flamatory, analgesic as well as anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties which makes it a great treatment for minor cuts, burns, insect bites and pimples.
