Get a gorgeous glow with natural ingredients like herbs for healthy glowing skin. Natural ingredients are rich in nutrients that can feed and nourish the skin for an ageless glow.
Many people have been conditioned to believe that lab-created products are better for their skin but that couldn't be further from the truth. Products with harmful chemicals and long ingredient lists can burden the body and even accelerate aging. Want to know a little secret? The skin loves natural ingredients it can recognize and utilize. The simpler the better.
Holistic beauty is healthier
The skin has Langerhans cells that are involved in immune surveillance and unhealthy ingredients can put the body into overdrive. So why not nourish your skin, hair, and nails with effective natural ingredients found right in your kitchen?
In a holistic beauty routine the kitchen can be an amazing place to find ingredients for skin glowing treatments. Each one can gently and effectively enhance your beauty while supporting your health. The extra bonus is that you can eat them too!
Holistic beauty inside and out
Creating your own beauty recipes is a wonderful way to become self-reliant and confident in caring for your health and beauty.
As a certified nutritionist, licensed cosmetologist and holistic beauty expert, I am passionate about teaching individuals how to use natural ingredients for radiant beauty and better health.
