Cheap Organic Skin Care Treatments That Work
Often, the main ingredients in those expensive engineered beauty products are simple, affordable and easy to use at home. Here’re some ideas for cheap organic skin care treatments that work.
Coffee Grounds are an All Natural Anti Cellulite Treatment
Coffee grounds make an excellent exfoliating and anti-cellulite treatment. Caffeine is a powerful stimulant and circulation booster, even when applied externally, which makes it a great organic skin care product. While cellulite is caused by many factors, coffee massage assists in relieving water retention thus diminishing the orange peel effect. Improved circulation results in noticeably toned, firm skin.
Coffee grounds can be used on one’s entire body and even face as a great exfoliating product while in the shower (the shower will be messy, though!). They are rubbed into wet skin like a regular exfoliating cream, until skin is slightly red. A coffee grounds massage should not hurt: it must be done gently.
While there is no magic bullet to get rid of cellulite — a healthy junk-free diet packed with fresh fruit and veg is essential, as well as exercise and proper hydration — a coffee grounds massage indeed helps, plus it creates an energetic, light-weight feeling in one’s entire body which is as addictive as a real cup of coffee!
Olive Oil: Perfect Organic Treatment for Damaged Hair Repair
Olive oil makes an ideal organic skin and hair treatment. Many Spanish ladies swear by it, and they are famous for their gorgeous raven manes. Their tip is to massage olive oil into hair and scalp before going to the beach, then comb hair into a trendy sleek ‘do. This creates perfect hair protection from sea water and sun rays.
Extra virgin cold-pressed olive oil (that’s the only kind of olive oil to be used on one’s hair) provides a wealth of antioxidants and Vitamin E that prevent skin and hair damage. Applied to dry hair a few minutes or hours before washing it works as an organic conditioner, making hair stronger and healthier-looking.
A quarter of a cup is enough for medium-length hair, warmed gently in the microwave, then rubbed into one’s hair and scalp. It’s a good idea to put on a shower cap and wrap one’s head in a towel for extra warmth. To wash the oil out, use a generous handful of any cheap shampoo, rinse, then wash again with one’s usual brand shampoo.
The Benefits of Vaseline as Organic Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer
Oh yes: petroleum jelly is organic all right. It belongs to the group of mineral oils which are produced by Mother Earth and are not chemically engineered by humans. It, too, belongs to the category of organic skin care treatments, mainly due to its ability to lock in moisture to condition skin from deep inside.
When applied, petroleum jelly creates a thin protective film over skin, and it’s this ability to completely isolate skin from the elements that’s responsible for petroleum jelly’s antibacterial and disinfectant properties. Bacteria simply can’t survive under the protective film of Vaseline, which makes it a cheap and effective treatment for small burns, sores and chipped lips. A favourite organic skin care product of stars from Doris Day (who used to smear it on her entire body before going to bed) to Tyra Banks, petroleum jelly is arguably the cheapest organic skin care product one can get for her money.
