CLINIC The secret to perfect glowing skin
How many of you have always envied those who can just wake up in the morning wash, get dressed, moisturize and hit the door?...well I know I have Now you can become those lucky individuals. For years women have been thriving for the natural look and I can tell you its been under our noses all this time. What is it?....water! Yes it’s true water really does clear up skin imperfections and gives the skin a glowing effect. Drinking an adequate amount of water daily is important for overall good health because water aids in digestion, circulation, absorption and even excretion. The fact is that skin is an organ, and just like any other part of the body. your skin is made up of cells. skin cells, like any other cell in the body, are made up of water. Without water, the organs will certainly not function properly or at their best.
CLINIC Home made lip balm Ingredients: bees wax, grape seed oil or almond oil, olive. The oil really depends on what scent you want you balm to have
Melt equal parts beeswax and oil of your choice in a small pan over the stove. Use a small amount (maybe a few tablespoons) of wax and oil. When the mixture is completely melted, pour it into a small glass or tin container. You can optionally add vitamin E at this last step (just after pulling it from the heat). Vitamin E is a natural preservative and excellent for the skin. Let the mixture cool to room temperature and then it is ready to use. use a small baby food jar that I have sterilized to store the lip balm. You can also check out reusable and recyclable tin containers at Mountain Rose Herbs. If you get brave and want to experiment you can customize your lip balm to your preferences. If you like harder lip balm then you can add a bit more wax, if you like your lip balm softer you can add a bit more oil. It is perfectly safe to keep re- melting the lip balm mixture until you get the consistency you like, just be sure that if you want to add vitamin E you do that after you have removed the mixture from the heat for the last time. Commercial lip balms usually are made with petroleum and other carcinogens. “Natural” lip balm can be very expensive; the above recipe is a great alternative without having t o skimp for quality.
