In recent years there has been a rise in the interest in more natural, simple beauty products. As people have begun to question whether all the chemicals in our skin and hair products are necessary, companies have been gradually releasing more ‘minimal’ and ‘natural’ ranges. However, many of these still contain many chemicals, and there are so many completely natural items that have amazing benefits for hair or skin. Here are some to try.
Olive Oil
The thought of putting olive oil on your skin and hair might not sound particularly appealing, but it’s a product that has been used for centuries to moisturize and care for skin and hair, and it’s known to improve scalp health and help hair grow stronger.
Aloe Vera Gel
If you have an aloe plant around then this is perfect as you can take the gel in its purest form. If not, then many health and wellbeing stores will sell this gel which can be used as an anti-inflammatory skin product.
Coconut Oil
If you have very dry skin or hair, then coconut oil is your best friend. It’s 100% natural and is known for being intensely moisturizing and replenishing. You may need to melt it in your hands or with a warm bowl of water, and then it can be massaged into thirsty hair or delicate skin for soft, silky results.
