Every woman wants to be well-groomed and look impressive. How to be, if at the same time there is no possibility to regularly spend large sums on salon procedures and expensive creams? There is an exit!
Most of the expensive cosmetic purchases can be replaced with your own hand-made preparations. The result from their application will not be worse, because they will contain only natural components. And you will spend no time for cooking them, rather than going shopping for creams and masks.
Of course, there are cosmetic products that are difficult or almost impossible to do by yourself - for example, decorative cosmetics. But they can also be saved at the expense of quality. When choosing, pay attention to the composition, not the price. First and foremost, the price of cosmetics depends on the funds spent on the advertising campaign and on the loud name of the manufacturer.So, let's start in order.
Hair. When choosing a shampoo, pay attention to the composition. As a rule, in the composition of cheap and expensive shampoos, there is laureth sulfate, thanks to which the shampoo foams and rinses the hair. This substance affects the quality of shampoo much more than the useful additives that we are informed about in advertising. Plant extracts, oils and other tempting products in the composition are listed at the very end of the list. This means that their number is very small, so the effect of them is unlikely to be effective.
Instead of overpaying for a drop of nutrients in a more expensive shampoo, you can before the head wash to make an oil wrap for the hair. Add 2-3 drops of essential oils to the olive oil and apply this mixture to the hair and scalp. Cover your hair with a film, wrap it on top with a towel and hold it for about an hour. This procedure will strengthen the hair, make them well-groomed and shiny.
If desired, you can make shampoo yourself. Here are a few recipes:
- Rye bread pour boiling water and wash the hair with the resulting gruel.
- Mix the egg yolk with castor oil.
- Dilute with cold water a mixture of 100 g of henna and 2 teaspoons of mustard.
Body. Instead of buying the scrubs in the store, prepare them yourself. A mixture of salt with olive oil, coffee grounds, shredded oat flakes, filled with boiling water - there are many recipes, and all of them will cost much less than beautiful tubes from cosmetic departments.
The best means for softening and giving elasticity to the skin of the body is olive oil. If you add a few drops of essential oils, the application process will turn into an aromatherapy session. Essential oils of citrus fruits help to get rid of cellulite; rosemary, ylang-ylang and rose oil will help get rid of stretch marks, and the addition of geranium and lavender oils will strengthen the skin of the breast. A bottle of essential oil will last for several years, so this purchase will be much more budgetary than regular purchase of body creams.
Arms. The best means for softening the skin of the hands and healing the cracks does not necessarily have to cost thousands. Before you wash the dishes with hot water, put on your hands vegetable oil and put on rubber or latex gloves. If you do this regularly, the effect will be better than applying an expensive hand cream. It is also very useful to put lemon juice on your hands, it will not only soften and lighten your hands, but will also strengthen your nails.
A well-groomed face and hands, shiny healthy hair and elastic skin - are quite achievable with any income and at any opportunity.
