My Favorite (Skin&Hair) Ingredients

By Carmel Tordesillas

Avocado

A super fruit! Contains abundant fatty acids help balance skin's moisture levels, and the antioxidant  vitamins A, C, and E protect skin from further damage. (For Face and Body)

 

Lemons         

The fruit acid loosens dead skin cells. Other citrus fruits include oranges, grapefruit, limes. (For Hair, Face, Body, Nails)

 

 

Milk               

The legendary Cleopatra treat! The lactic acid in milk serves as a gentle skin exfoliant, while its natural fat content acts as a body moisturizer. (For Hair, Face, Body)

 

Eggs               

Not just for breakfast! Its high protein content helps improve hair's resilience and luster. Its also    

 natural face mask. (For Hair yolk, Face –White only)


Apple Cider Vinegar         

Or any other white distiled vinegar. Its high acid content makes skin inhospitable to blemish-causing bacteria. (Hair, Face, Body can you beleive?)

  

Cucumber     

Rela and refresh. It is mostly water, but it also contains ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and caffeic acid – these nutrients help soothe skin irritations and reduce swelling. (Eyes, Face)

 

 

Olive oil        

High in antioxidants, including vitamin E. Antioxidants are nutritional power houses that protect against age-accelerating free radicals. (Hair, Face, Body)

 

Strawberry    

Rich in alpha-hydroxy acid, a great little substance that helps us slough off dead skin cells so that new, youthful skin is revealed. (Eyes, Hair, Face, Body, Teeth)
