Harlem women are known for their natural beauty, but maintaining this gift requires some effort and ambition. One of their secrets is natural skincare solutions. If you want to follow the footsteps of the most beautiful women in Harlem and have beautiful skin, learn more about these efficient natural skincare solutions.
Shea Butter
Shea butter is one of the most acclaimed natural ingredients you can use to take care of your skin and hair. This natural ingredient can be found in myriad body care products and cosmetics. Shea butter does wonders for the skin due to its moisturizing property.
Shea butter contains linoleic, oleic palmitic acids as well as fatty acids. It is easily absorbed in the skin, and it nourishes and hydrates it very well. Moreover, shea butter is also used in medical creams and lotions due to its ability to repair the skin or help with managing irritations, wounds, and eczema. Also, it is a terrific weapon against wrinkles.
You can use this butter as body lotion, hand or face cream or combine it with different other care products such as oils or shampoo.
It will make your skin feel as soft as silk and it also has a very pleasant nutty scent. There are numerous types of natural shea butter you can buy online or in shops. If you want to enjoy the full benefits of shea butter, it’s recommended to opt for organic products.
Avocado
Avocado is not only a superfood that can boost your health with its highly nutritious content. In terms of skincare, this yummy ingredient can help you keep your skin young and healthy due to its high content of vitamins E, C, A, and antioxidants.
If you want a completely natural anti-aging solution for your skin, regular avocado masks are the perfect choice. You need a ripe avocado to be able to make your own mask. After you mash it, simply add a little bit of olive oil and there you have it – your homemade facial mask. Apply it once or twice a week and remove it after 10-15 minutes.
Honey & Banana
A banana and honey facial mask is another good way of maintaining your skin healthy. This recipe is suitable for all ages and skin types. Bananas are rich in A, E and B vitamins which are vital for the skin and they also contain healthy acids that can promote exfoliation. Honey is also packed with healthy ingredients: magnesium, potassium, calcium, Vitamin B, zinc, iron, and enzymes.
Mash a ripe banana and mix it with honey. It takes as little as 2 minutes to prepare this mask. Then, apply it and leave it on for at least 10 minutes. Your skin will feel soft and revitalized.
Coconut Butter
Yes, coconut is a popular ingredient used in all sorts of foods, but due to its nourishing abilities, it is also an efficient skincare product. Coconut butter contains saturated fats, fatty acids (linoleic, oleic, palmitic and lauric acids among others). It has antibacterial capacities and can successfully help tackle skin issues such as cellulitis, acne or problems related to a skin infection.
Coconut butter smells great, is 100% natural and, unlike other popular natural solutions, it is cheap and easy to find in any shop that sells cosmetic products.
A final piece of advice
Last but not the least, if you care for your skin, try by all means to avoid contact with commercial cleaning products. They are packed with chemicals, some of which can be quite harmful to your skin. Try to use natural solutions to clean your house as well. Baking soda and vinegar are great cleaners. Salt, for example, is excellent at keeping unwanted insects at a distance. You can find out more about this on seedsandmore.net
