What is your favourite "natural" beauty product find?

confusedmummy

You know all those products that the cosmetic companies will not tell you about. The things that produce a brilliant result at half the cost of manufactured cosmetics? The "secret" (or not so) natural products that are worth their weight in gold?

I have 2. Castor oil and coconut oil for hair. Castor oil is great for speeding up hair growth and quality and coconut oil makes hair so soft and healthy. Both extremely cheap.

What are yours?

Lemon for skin, salt and olive oil for exfoliating/moisturising, cider vinegar for hair, I have many more tips for cheap products that really work but they are not all natural, sometimes science wins;)

Almond oil (£1.69 for 250ml......lasts for ages) for removing my make-up and cleansing my skin.

My skin is now completely balanced, as it is no longer "stripped" by commercial cleansers, no more dry patches or that tight feeling and I only need very small amounts of day and night cream (for their firming powers!), so they last much longer too!

Olive oil and sugar mixed together makes a good body scrub.

I mostly used home made products ..I strongly believe in aloe vera products..Aloe Vera gel helps to clean my face and make it smooth and soft.

I use a lot of homemade things, my own scrubs, soap, cleansers, moisturiser etc. I love coconut oil and caster oil for hair, jojoba oil for my body, also oil and salt body scrub.
Instead of buying shaving gel/mousse/cream/whatever it's called, I use conditioner and it leaves my legs super soft and with no ingrown hairs.

How do you use the castor oil in your hair OP? Do you massage it into the roots and shampoo out? I'm interested in the idea of it speeding up hair growth!

'Neem' is really good for face masks. Its a herbal thing. Makes ur skins really soft and its meant to be good for spots and acne. Lemon is good for the hair too

Agree with the neem but not the lemon, it merely bleaches and thins the hair shaft so will eventually wreck it.

Fresh olives (picked straight from the tree and applied directly) are great for the skin. In reality I keep a small bottle of olive oil in my bathroom and rub into my skin after showering, the tiniest dab spread on the palms and then run over the hair is an excellent anti-frizz treatment.
