Post by: KATHY SKINNER in non-tox, beauty, aging
As we age, our bodies and minds evolve, requiring a more mindful approach to health and beauty. Lowering your toxic load is a vital step towards slowing down the aging process and enhancing overall well-being. 
Here are five natural, non-toxic beauty hacks that will help you live a healthier, happier, younger longer.

With the links you find on this page, I do receive a small commision at no additional cost to you.  The commision helps to support this website of information for you. Some items have extra savings for you as well, so take a look around at my Favorite Products & DIY Supplies page.
 
1. Choose Clean Beauty Products
Why It Matters:
Conventional beauty products often contain harmful chemicals like parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances, which can disrupt hormones, cause health problems and accelerate aging.
Hack:
Switch to clean beauty brands that prioritize natural ingredients. Look for labels that say "paraben-free," "phthalate-free," and "fragrance-free." 
Tip:
HoneyBee Gardens is where I purchase all my cosmetics. I admit I use very little, mostly eye make up so I don't have those sleepy eyes, sometime blush and lipstick. And the nail polish is amazing!   Use this LINK to checkout their high-quality, non-toxic products and get 15% off your first purchase.
For other beauty products, I either make my own or use ones I've listed on my Personal Care page

2. Hydrate with Natural Oils
Why It Matters:
As we age, our skin tends to lose moisture more quickly, leading to dryness and wrinkles.
Hack:
Incorporate natural oils into your skincare routine. Oils like sweet almond, jojoba, and fractionated coconut oil are excellent for hydrating and nourishing the skin. They are rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, which help to combat free radicals and maintain skin elasticity.
Tip:
Apply a few drops of your chosen oil to your face and neck every night after cleansing. You can also add these oils to your body lotion for an all-over glow.
**DIY Recipe:**
Radiance Facial Serum
In a 30ml (about 1 oz) bottle with dropper top put in 
  • 20 drops Yarrow Pom essential oil blend
  • 20 drops Frankincense essential oil 
  • 20 drops Copaiba essential oil
  • 4 drops Blue Tansey essential oil
  • 24 drops Rose Touch 
  • Top with Fractionated Coconut Oil
Put on top and roll between palms to blend. Let it sit for 24 hours for the oils to fully synergize. 
Use a few drops on your face and neck morning and before bed for deeply nourished skin.

3. Detoxify Your Diet
Why It Matters:
What you put into your body is just as important as what you put on your skin. A diet high in processed foods and low in nutrients can increase your toxic load and accelerate aging.
Hack:
Focus on a diet rich in organic fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Foods like berries, leafy greens, salmon, and avocados are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support skin health and overall vitality.
Tip:
Incorporate detoxifying foods such as lemon, turmeric, and ginger into your diet. These can help to flush out toxins and improve digestion.
**DIY Recipe:**
Detoxifying Green Smoothie    
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 1 small apple
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 cup water
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Enjoy this refreshing smoothie to boost your detox efforts.

 

4. Practice Mindful Skincare
Why It Matters:
Stress and anxiety can have a significant impact on your skin, leading to premature aging and other skin issues.
Hack:
Create a skincare routine that doubles as a mindfulness practice. Use this time to relax and unwind. Gentle facial massages can stimulate blood flow and promote a healthy glow. Incorporating essential oils like lavender or chamomile into your routine can also help to reduce stress.
Tip:
Consider adding a gua sha, jade roller or even back of a spoon to your skincare regimen. These tools can help to reduce puffiness, improve circulation, and give your skin a more youthful appearance.
**DIY Recipe:**
Relaxing Facial Oil
  • 1 tablespoon sweet almond oil
  • 5 drops of lavender essential oil
  • 5 drops of chamomile essential oil
Mix ingredients in a small bottle. Use a few drops to massage your face, focusing on areas of tension, to promote relaxation and a glowing complexion.
 

5. Embrace Natural Beauty Enhancements
 Why It Matters:
Many beauty treatments, such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, can be harsh on the skin and may introduce toxins.
Hack:
Explore natural beauty enhancements like DIY face masks and scrubs made from ingredients you can find in your kitchen. Honey, yogurt, oatmeal, and avocado make excellent bases for nourishing face masks that gently exfoliate and hydrate the skin.
Tip:
For a simple, natural exfoliant, mix equal parts of brown sugar and honey. Gently massage it onto your face in circular motions, then rinse with warm water for soft, glowing skin.
**DIY Recipe:**
Rejuvenating Face Mask
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon oatmeal
  • 3 drops of tea tree essential oil
Mix all ingredients to form a paste. Apply to your face and leave on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing with warm water. This mask will help to exfoliate, hydrate, and rejuvenate your skin.
 
 
Lowering your toxic load doesn't have to be complicated. By choosing clean beauty products, nourishing your skin with natural oils, detoxifying your diet, practicing mindful skincare, and embracing natural beauty enhancements, you can slow down the aging process and live healthier, happier, younger longer. Embrace these hacks and let your natural beauty shine through, reflecting your inner vitality and well-being.

Blessings for Health, Joy & Laughter,
