A New Natural Beauty Routine for Summer

Summer is the perfect time for a new natural beauty routine. This should include using natural ingredients, paying more attention to how you care for your skin and hair, and sticking to the routine on a daily basis. Here are some ideas for starting a brand new natural beauty routine for the summer season and the rest of the year.

Exfoliate Your Entire Body

Instead of just exfoliating your face, why not scrub your entire body? This is great to do as a new natural beauty routine, especially during the summer. Exfoliating helps to gently peel away any dead or dry skin, and help promote the regeneration of healthier skin. It will leave all your body feeling and looking refreshed, as well as being nice and soft to the touch.

To start with, you can use a body scrub of natural ingredients. I like to combine any type of sugar or sea salt with oil like olive oil or coconut oil, and add some of my favourite Doterra essential oils (Citrus Bliss, Sandalwood, Lavender) and store it in a jar. This is the easiest way to have a body exfoliator. You can also start using a dry brush and buff the skin with it. Dry brushing with a natural bristle brush has numerous health benefits, including helping to detoxify your body and reduce cellulite.

Rinse Your Hair With Apple Cider Vinegar

For your hair care routine, now is the perfect time to try some new natural products. One great product to use on your hair is apple cider vinegar. This just provides a simple rinse that will clean your hair and help to remove buildup or dandruff from your scalp. It can also add some shine to your hair. Dilute the vinegar with the same amount of water, then add it to your hair (avoiding the eye area), rinsing well in the shower. If you want a more fragrant scent, try adding a few drops of your favourite essential oils such as lavender or sandalwood.

Make a Yogurt and Oatmeal Mask

To start a new beauty routine, you don’t want to forget about your face. This is a good time to use a mask about once a week. You can make your own with just oatmeal and plain yogurt, providing all you need is to moisturize your skin. The oatmeal is also going to exfoliate it in a gentle way. Mix these ingredients together in a small bowl and rub the mask on your face, letting it sit for about 10 minutes. Rinse it off with cool water.

Make sure using sunscreen on your face is always a part of your beauty routine! This protects your skin from sun damage, as well as helping to keep away premature fine lines and wrinkles, which is often the result of too much sun without protection.

If you have a tendency to burn easily or get many sun spots, it may be another indication that your liver may need some extra nurturing. You can contact me for more information or Nutrition advice if you have tendencies toward sun spots or even melasma (pigmentation) to learn about taking on a new Nutrition Routine for beauty as well.

All the best feeling great during this summer season!

In health and love
