You do not have to pay for commercial cosmetic products to look your best. There are a number of natural beauty recipes you can make at home. In fact, many times the natural solution is healthier and more effective than the chemical-laden makeups you will find at the store.

Here is a great papaya enzyme facial mask that is one of the more popular natural beauty recipes. You will need the following ingredients: 1/2 cup mashed papaya, 1 whipped egg white, and 1 teaspoon of honey. For additional cooling or if you have sensitive skin, add a tablespoon of plain yogurt to your mixture.

Mix all of your ingredients together in a large bowl. Wash your skin before applying the facial mask mixture. Leave the mask on your face for approximately five to eight minutes, giving the papaya enzymes time to exfoliate your skin. Rinse off with warm water first, then with cooler water, patting dry when done.

For hair, this herbal vinegar rinse will restore your hair’s natural pH balance, clean off built up dirt and hair products, and reduce oily hair. Place 2 sprigs of rosemary and 2 sprigs of lavender in 2 cups of water in a clear glass jar. Let the jar sit out in the sun to steep for between two and four hours, then remove the herbs. Add one or two tablespoons of either apple cider vinegar or white vinegar to your water solution, then use the same way you would use shampoo.

Here is another great recipe to create a refreshing flower-based foot soak. For this one, you need sea salt, along with fresh sliced citrus of your choice (limes, lemons, oranges, etc.) and a handful of flower petals picked fresh from your garden. Fill a small basin with lukewarm water and add the salt, flower petals, and fruit slices. Soak your feet in the mixture for ten minutes, then rinse and pat to dry.

Finish off this treatment with the Sacred Glo lotion candle of your choice. The ingredients in our Sacred Glo Candles moisturize your feet and make them soft to the touch. All you do is burn the candle and use the lotion as a message oil once your feet are dry. It is by far one of the most luxuiriating experiences for you and your feet.
