Here are a few examples of natural beauty recipes. The Internet is a source of many more:
Papaya Face Mask:- mash half a papaya with one whipped egg white, a teaspoon of honey and a tablespoon of natural - not pasturized - plain yoghurt.
Mix into a smooth mixture, take off your makeup and wash your face Rub the mixture onto your face and leave for five to ten minutes so that the papaya enzymes can work on your skin. Rinse off with luke warm water and then again with cool water. Eventually, pat your skin dry with a soft towel.
Herbal Vinegar Hair Rinse:- this natural beauty recipe will correct the pH balance of your hair. First wash and rinse your hair as usual, then rinse with an infusion, which you have made in advance as follows.
Soak two sprigs of rosemary and two sprigs of lavender in a jar of warm water. Leave it in the sun or a warm place for a few hours in order to allow the sprigs' essential oils to come out.

Herbal Bath Salts:- are very easy to make. First buy a sack of sea salt. Then whenever you want to use bath salts obtain whichever herb you think will do you good or smell nice and pound up a handful of it until it becomes a fine powder.
