🌿High quality oils:
🍂Raphanus Sativus (Radish) Seed Extract- Daikon Seed extract oil is a very unique oil, grown in the western US, mainly Oregon. The product imparts a delicate slip with good absorption, and presents a sensory profile more closely associated with esters and silicone type emollients.

1️⃣ Autumn diet.
🌿 When there is dryness in the atmosphere, warm, moist meals are the most satisfying and nourishing for us. Soups, stews, one-pot meals, lightly cooked vegetables.
2️⃣ Sip some
🌿 Warm Water or Herbal Teas. Make yourself some herbal tea, for example drinking fresh ginger and lemon tea in the afternoon will not only wake you up but also keep your digestion healthy. Some good herbal teas for autumn: chamomile, elderflower, fennel, ginger, licorice, lemongrass, and marshmallow.
3️⃣ Eat Good Fats.
🌿 Healthy fats such as nuts and seeds are great for keeping your skin/hair moisturized from within. Eat more of oily fish, walnuts, almonds, brazil nuts, flax seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
4️⃣ Nourish Your Skin with Amazing Ghee.
🌿Ghee (clarified butter) is another excellent fat you should consider in cold weather. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins A, E, D and the essential fatty acids, it works miracles for the skin.
5️⃣ Give Yourself a Nice Massage.
🌿Massaging nourishes and tones your body, calms your mind and increases radiance of the skin.
Oils for massage: Body: sesame, olive, mustard, sunflower and almond. Hair: sesame, olive, coconut, argan, sunflower, almond and avocado. Face: rosehip, almond, argan, apricot kernel and sunflower.
6️⃣ Moisturize Your Hair.
🌿 Dry, dull and fly-away hair is a common problem in autumn and winter months.
7️⃣ Get Moving.
🌿Exercise is an effective stress-busters. Exercise also keeps your skin and hair glowing by boosting circulation and unblocking clogged pores. Any form of exercise is better than no exercise. Be it is walking, jogging, dancing, tai chi, yoga, or Pilates – have fun moving your body.

Hard water is water that has a high volume of “hard” minerals, specifically magnesium and calcium.

How Does Hard Water Affect My Hair?

🌿Hair that feels filmy, straw-like dull and limp, and ultimately less pliable
🌿Color-treated hair that fades quickly, leading to more frequent color treatments and further damage to hair
🌿Residual shampoo in your hair
🌿 Hair that’s hard to lather with shampoo
🌿Thinning hair and breakage caused by hard water
🌿Hair loss

How Does Hard Water Affect My Skin?

The most common effect of hard water on your skin is dryness. Much like with your hair, hard water makes it difficult to rinse away soap from the surface of your skin, leaving your skin dry and potentially irritated.

Hello Hello Monday!
⠀
Cannot believe we are so close to September already!
⠀
I don't like these "let's review how your summer was" things, but let's be honest: this is not what we were ready for 😏
⠀
And I am glad that modern social media allows us to run our business even when we all are stuck at home and lots of businesses simply cannot work!
⠀
I was able to launch my natural shampoo and conditioner bars sales during the quarantine and I can definitely say how successful it is!
⠀
Every moment, every day just look for opportunities, not for excuses 💪🏻
⠀
Have you had any luck these tough days so far?

Hello Monday!

Who is here for another portion of useful tips 🙋🏻‍♀️?!
⠀
Let's start our new week with a great, but so simple to use hair mask! If you suffer from hair loss, protein mask is what you really look for!

I am sure you have all the ingredients in your kitchen 👌🏻
⠀
Alrighty, that is what you need:
⠀
✔️ 1/2 avocado 🥑
✔️ 1 egg 🥚
✔️ 1 tea spoon of honey 🍯
✔️ 1 tablespoon of coconut oil 🥥
⠀
Mix all the ingredients and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

For better results rinse your hair with water (it might be greasy).

Next morning just wash it once again with your shampoo and conditioner bar (of course from ) 😁
