6 Ways Apple Cider Vinegar Will Change Your Beauty Routine - BeautyOfASite

6 Ways Apple Cider Vinegar Will Change Your Beauty Routine

June 15, 2016

 

Hello there bath and beauty lovers! We are taking you to the kitchen this week to tell you about a bath and body staple that’s been hiding in your pantry. Sure you can use apple cider vinegar in sauces and salad dressings, but there is way more to this vinegar. Apple cider vinegar is made through a double fermentation process that reduces down to some pretty powerfully preserved nutrients. Apple cider vinegar is rich in potassium, malic acid, calcium, acetic acid, and a whole slew of vitamins (A, B1, B2, B6, C and E to be precise) that are great for the body. Check out the tips below to see how you can use apple cider vinegar:

 

1. Detoxify your Skin

The nutrient rich formula of apple cider vinegar draws out toxins on the skin surface. Use a cotton swab to dab the vinegar on your face and rinse thoroughly.

2. Reduce Age Spots

Apple cider vinegar contains hydroxyl acids that are great for removing dead skin cells. Reduce again spot by apply vinegar to the skin twice a week and let it sit on the skin surface for 30 minutes before rinses for a proper treatment.

3. Get Rid of Acne

Another benefit of apple cider vinegar is it is antibacterial, so it’s great at taking down difficult acne. Simply apply a mixture of one parts vinegar to two parts water to combat breakouts.

4. Give Hair a Healthy Shine

Boost your hair’s natural shine by mixing equal parts water and apple cider vinegar. Use this mixture once or twice a week to perk up your hair!

5. Fight and Correct Wrinkles

When diluted significantly with water, apple cider vinegar is great for fighting fine lines and wrinkles. Dab onto problem areas and let the vinegar sit for a few minutes then rinse off. Use over a 6 week period to see best results.

6. Soothe Sunburn

Nothing’s worse than a nasty sunburn. When you try to soak out your burn, add a cup of apple cider vinegar to the water for some added relief.

Make Your Own Tumeric Facial Scrub! - BeautyOfASite

Make Your Own Tumeric Facial Scrub!

June 10, 2016

 

The world of beauty is constantly changing thanks to a lively social media landscape of Instagram beauty queens and innovative vloggers. While some of the trends can be just that, trends (I’m looking at you spoon contour), the Beauty of a Site team is excited that treatments featuring natural ingredients has become a beauty DIY mainstay.

So what’s the superstar ingredient of the moment? Tumeric. Yes, we know this isn’t exactly a revelation to people familiar with holistic medicine, as turmeric is a traditional medicinal herb in India (and is also featured in delicious foods). Tumeric is actually a strong antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties and, oh yeah, it is also antibacterial (good-bye acne). That’s a pretty kick butt ingredient for a facial scrub in our books! However, if you have sensitive skin we recommend you avoid turmeric as it can irritate some skin types.

So add some spice to your facial routine by trying out this DIY Tumeric Facial Scrub. It’s a great scrub to try on a lazy Sunday when all you want is some rest and relaxation. We got the instructions below, so get to it for some absolutely glowing skin. Seriously, this stuff leaves your skin ridiculously smooth.

 

Ingredients:

 

  • 1/2 cup tumeric
  • 1/4 tablespoons chickpea flour (for extra buffing action)
  • 3 tablespoons cold pressed coconut oil (for moisture)
  • 2 tablespoons cane sugar (for exfoliation)
  • 2 tablespoons sea salt (for extra exfoliation)
  • 1 tablespoon vitamin e oil (to condition and protect skin)
  • 10 drops lemon essential oil (for a little skin-brightening action)

 

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. 

Remove all makeup and wash your face. Scoop out 1 tbsp of scrub and mix well with 1/2 tsp of water. Massage into skin in small circles and let sit for 20 minutes. Rinse well with lukewarm water and pat dry with a paper towel.

If used twice a week, scrub will last you about 2 months
