Oliviablog.com| How to make your skin beautiful naturally
Let’s get a few things straight right off the bat. We love
our skin care routines dearly. Nourishing our skin with aloe-rich serums and
herb-infused oils keeps our skin glowing. Finish off with some natural mineral
powder to perfect, and we’re feeling pretty good.
But when we wake up in the morning and look in the mirror,
we want to look refreshed and beautiful before we even start our beauty
rituals. Does this make us lazy?
Your health shows on your skin, so the healthier you are
internally, the more beautiful the exterior. It’s a win win. And when we talk
about health, we also mean stress levels and happiness.
Our skin shows those,
too.
So while we will never cease to slather ourselves with
lovely oils and use natural minerals to perfect our complexions, there are more
ways to enhance beauty naturally.
Here are some favorites:
1. Drink Water
Don’t roll your eyes. Maybe you knew this was coming, but it
has to be said. Dehydration makes wrinkles more apparent and keeps your body
from doing the things it needs to do.
Drink water slowly throughout the day, every day. If you try
to compensate by chugging a gallon of water after dinner, you won’t absorb it
all (and you’ll have to get up to go pee while you should be getting your
beauty sleep!).
If you drink beverages that make you dehydrated, such as
coffee and alcohol, hydrate before and after to negate the effects.
If you love
your morning coffee, I’m not saying you should give it up. You brew you! But
challenge yourself to drink a glass of water first thing in the morning, then
reward yourself with your joe.
The body uses water to cleanse. If we can’t flush them out
that way, they build up in other places or show up on our skin.
2. Sweat It Out
About 20% of the body’s elimination occurs through
perspiration. Keep things circulating by sweating. Sit in a sauna, exercise, or
do both!
Bikram yoga, cycling, or going for a jog are great ways to
work up a sweat.
Do whichever suits you! Make sure to wash your face before
working out, especially if you wear makeup. When you sweat, your pores open up
and invite whatever’s around to come hang out. A.k.a., your makeup, dirt, and
the other remnants of your day.
Shower right after you work out to avoid
reabsorbing everything you just sweat out.
Exercising also releases endorphins, and we know being happy
makes you that much more beautiful! Plus, getting your heart rate up will give
your cheeks some color, while keeping your heart healthy.

3. Brew Yourself a Bath
We’re pretty water-themed so far. But that’s how we
earthlings do it!
Taking a bath is uber relaxing, relieving the stress that
wears on your whole being, including your skin.
Take your bath to the next level by brewing a big, strong (I
like where this is going) pot of tea and adding it to the water.
Of course,
make sure the water isn’t too hot before you jump in (is this a necessary
disclaimer?).
This way, you can enjoy the benefits of herbs from head to
toe! Try the following teas in your bath:
- Chamomile
- Echinacea
- Fennel
- Yarrow
- Coffee
4. Beauty Minerals
Overall, eating a nutritious diet promotes good health and
good skin, but there are some nutrients that are especially beautifying.
Sulfur, though not usually included on nutrition labels or
thought of as an essential nutrient, is the fourth most abundant mineral in the
body and is vital to many of its processes.
Having enough sulfur in your body
keeps your hair and skin soft and smooth. Eggs, cruciferous vegetables such as
broccoli and cabbage, and radishes are healthy sources of sulfur.
Zinc is another mineral that will make you glow. Get your
zinc from seeds such as pumpkin, poppy, or sunflower seeds, spirulina, or
mussels.
5. Get Naked
Our good pal Kris Carr recommends going makeup-less one day
a week. This will give your pores a chance to breathe.
If going without makeup doesn’t sound fun to you, make sure
you use mineral makeup so your skin doesn’t absorb toxic chemicals.
6. Orange You Glad You Read This?
Dark orange foods high in beta carotene can actually warm
your complexion.
Winter is a great time for sweet potatoes and butternut
squash. Peaches, apricots, and carrots are also good options.
Vitamin A is fat soluble, so eat some healthy fat around the
same time to ensure maximum absorption.

carrot juice or drizzle some olive oil on a roasted sweet potato.
7. Whiten Teeth with… Charcoal?
You can use this black powder as a teeth whitening
treatment. Add it to your toothpaste or put it directly on your toothbrush (do
this over the sink to avoid a mess).
This treatment, a couple times a week,
will draw out impurities from your mouth and lift stains off your teeth for a
whiter smile!
If this totally freaks you out, try oil pulling.
8. Tone Your Tresses
Hair rinses are easy to make and can be used regularly to
nourish your scalp, soften, and add subtle color to your hair.
Brew a large pot
of tea, let it cool, then rinse your hair with it after you shampoo. Leave on
for 20 minutes and condition as usual.
Try these:
- Black tea or coffee to deepen color and add subtle reddish tones.
- Chamomile lightens hair and soothes the scalp.
- Rosemary cleans the hair.
Maybe adding an extra step to your shower routine doesn’t
sound too appealing. Another option is to simply add some ingredients to your
shampoo.
If you have brown hair, add cocoa powder and cinnamon to your shampoo
to deepen your color. You can add honey to your shampoo to lighten hair, but
make sure to wash it out thoroughly!
9. The Other Hair
We religiously condition our hair but mercilessly ignore our
eyelashes. What’s up with that? We’re here to promote equality for all hair.
Swipe a gentle oil or organic eye cream on the tips of your
eyelashes and over your eyebrows at night to keep them silky soft. This is
especially important if you haven’t yet switched to a natural mascara!
Make sure to keep your brows well shaped to frame your face.
If plucking isn’t your specialty, try waxing or threading to stay looking
gorgeously groomed.
10. Lady Lumps
According to Beauty by Nature, one of our favorites by
Brigitte Mars, French women have long used hydrotherapy to promote perky
breasts.
End showers with 30 seconds of cold water to stimulate circulation.
Increased circulation can help keep breasts firm. You can also alternate
between hot and cold, in 30 second increments, ending with cold, for extra
circulation.
11. Think Pretty
Just kidding… kind of. Thinking good thoughts and
maintaining positive thoughts and intentions will truly make you more
beautiful. Sadness wears on us, physically as well as emotionally.
Delight yourself by surrounding yourself with beautiful
things. Keep a vase of flowers in your room, diffuse delicious and relaxing
scents like neroli throughout your house, and adorn your house in decorations
that inspire and please you.
Wear comfortable clothing that makes you feel
confident, keep your spaces clean to prevent confusion and distress, and pay
attention to how the foods you eat make you feel.
