Natural/ Organic Living  Part 1 - Change to natural products in your beauty and everyday regime for your GOOD!

9/2/2016

I have been trying to move towards organic or natural ways to solve most of my everyday problems and routine. I am just at the start point of the long way to change to an organic/natural living completely. But nevertheless its better to change now than never! So why do you have to change to natural living and what are the easy ways to start?

Natural products are always better for you internally and externally. They do not cause any serious side effects. Its good for the environment too, you will not be creating any non degradable garbage to the earth! Your bit of help to a greener environment. Its cheaper sometimes compared to expensive chemical products for your problems. No harm in trying natural way before you decide on anything! There are many more reason to move to Natural products! 

Start small with changing a thing or two in your everyday regime, be it beauty products or eatables or home products. Make the change and see how you feel about it. If you are in Bangalore, you will already know about the plastic ban here. Initially it was very difficult to segregate garbage and carry our own cloth bags to supermarkets. But now I'm sure you will love the feel of carrying cloth bags to shops, understanding how much plastics you use by segregating your home waste and trying to reduce it. So change is difficult at the start, but you will understand that the change is for your good! 

When you look back, you would love these changes you made years back and feel good about yourself. Be a role model for the next generation to have a greener environment around them.

Natural Toner for all types of skin problems:
​
Are you using the expensive alcohol laded toners to help you come out of your skin problems? Or are you thinking to start using toners in your CTM routine?

Apple Cider Vinegar is the cheaper option and a natural product so that the skin doesn't have to absorb any chemicals. Buy the purest raw form (undistilled) of ACV from the store. Look for the word - "With the Mother". ACV provide natural alpha hydroxy acids and maintains the natural pH levels of your skin. It helps removing dead skin and improving acne marks too.

Mix in 1 part ACV with 2 parts distilled water to create your own DIY natural toner and store it in a clean spray bottle. Dampen a cotton ball or swab and swipe across the face after cleansing. Leave it for 2 mins and then go ahead with your normal moisturizer.

How to use Tea tree Oil for acne, dandruff, warts and other infections
PictureMedicinal Benefits of tea tree oil
Essential Oils!! It's everywhere now... such a huge rage for these mini bottles of aromatic oils. Are they worth all the buzz??? Yes, may be. The first oil we'll talk about is the much raved Tea Tree Oil. 

"Tea tree oil is an essential oil that has been obtained by steam distillation of the leaves of the melaleuca alternifolia, a plant native to Australia."

Tea Tree Oil helps to cure skin ailments, scalp issues and other medicinal benefits. It can also be used to clean household and remove ticks too. Tea tree Oil has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. So it soothes the skin or scalp, treating itchiness effectively. It has good moisturizing property too.

How I got rid of my warts - Wart Removal Home remedies

Natural way to remove facial warts
WARTS - hearing the name of it makes us get irritated and annoyed!! I have seen many people having warts on their neck, hands, feet and on their face too. I've heard it falls off after a few months or years by itself. But it's so irritating to touch or feel them on your skin... eeks!! I never had them until one day, when I woke up to see two small eruptions on my skin... and that too on my face!! God damn!! Never imagined this would happen even in my worst nightmares!!

Initially I convinced myself that they were just pimples which would vanish in few days. But no, they were baby warts in the developing stage. Got them near my lips.. I was very much worried about it all day. If it had come in any other area, I would have left them to exist and hide them forever. I started reading about warts and how to remove them.

Beauty benefits of Kasthuri Manjal/ Wild Turmeric

Kasthuri Manjal/ Wild Turmeric Beauty Benefits
Kasthuri Manjal is called as wild turmeric in english. It is part of the Curcuma genus - Zingiberaceae family. I think there are 5 types of turmeric available. The ones which we use in cooking, round ones used for pooja or the auspicious one, kasthuri manjal which is used only for cosmetic and medicinal preparation. I'm not sure of the rest of the varieties. This variety of turmeric is grown mostly in the South Asian Countries.

Wild turmeric is an important ingredient in any ayurvedic skin care product. It has anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory, anti-septic and anti-bacterial properties. The yellow pigment in the turmeric makes the skin brighter. It also helps in removing facial hair and pimple marks, when used for a longer time. Ladies used to apply turmeric paste on their body before taking bath ages before, to give a glow to their skin. This ritual is even now followed in marriage ceremonies in India. So how do we use it as a face pack?

Last time my mom came home, she felt my face was dull even after a facial at a nearby parlor :( This is why I'm not a parlor hitting girl!! She took the pains of searching kasthuri manjal in the market, and found a shop which sold the dried kasthuri manjal roots. She brought them home and grinded it coarsely in the mixer. Sieved it to make a fine powder and stored it for my later use. You can also buy 100% organic Kasthuri manjal powder available from some known brands.

Home made Spa Gift Package
Don't you think we deserve to have a Spa treatment every weekend, after an hectic week?? But Spa at a parlour is so damn pricey nowadays, that we can't afford them every week. Rather we can have a spa treatment at home and save the money for some shopping :P

Body scrubs are an essential step in any beauty regime, for proper exfoliation of the skin - removing dead cells and sun tan. They also have moisturizing properties added to them. We have listed a good collection of DIY Body Scrubs, posted by various bloggers out there. We found them very helpful and exciting to try it out. We have given the link to the original blogger's recipe for each of them to give them the due credits. :)  Just make sure to test it first by making a small batch, since some ingredients might not suit sensitive skin. But no harmful effects.. everything is natural!! For maximum benefit gently rub on the scrub on your body in circular motion, focusing on rough areas like knees, elbows and heels.

You can also make these scrubs at home, pack it beautifully with some charms & writings and gift it to your loved ones.
