Rose’s Pure Beauty Guide

Homemade Skincare Recipes Nature is the newest trend in skin and hair care. For too many years we all have been putting toxic chemicals on our skin, and in our bodies, that build up and make us feel tired and sick. Whether we eat chemicals or if they seep though our pores, people are finally catching on that natural is better. In spite of the new trends, don’t be fooled by just any label that say “all-natural” because most of them aren’t as natural as they claim to be, and many come with a big price tag attached too. Fortunately, making beauty products yourself isn’t too difficult to do. So if you want beauty products that you know are natural and are also inexpensive, just make them yourself! I created this guide to help you create products that will improve your skin rather than harming it. But this guide is about much more then just external beauty. Women have been passing down beauty recipes and tips like these from generation to generation for thousands of years. When women take time to primp themselves, chemicals release from the brain that are very de-stressing and anti-aging for the whole body. Let’s join together in teaching the lost art of relaxation, beauty, and self-care to our daughters. You absolutely deserve to take time for yourself! In love and service,

Beauty Rest Be Beautifully Rested

Getting the proper amount of sleep is one of the best kept beauty secrets. During this important time, our bodies go to work with cleansing and repairing, ESPECIALLY for our skin! If we do not get a good quality amount of sleep and rest, our skin is the first place we see it. The key to proper sleep and rest is the quality, not just the quantity. A tip to achieving good quality sleep is to make sure you are in a totally dark room with blackout curtains or an eye mask at night so that your brain can produce the antiaging antioxidant called melatonin. Your bedroom at night should be dark enough that you can’t see your hand in front of your face. Rest is just as important as sleep. Taking time to rest helps to quiet the mind and allow the physical body to rejuvenate. Take some quiet time everyday, even if it’s only for a few minutes, to listen to music, read, or take a short nap for half an hour to an hour if you are sleepy. If you are tired but cannot fall asleep, then simply rest your mind and body by lying down and emptying your mind of thoughts.

FaLL PumPkin mask & scRuB Fun anytime of year!

The fall season is all about change. As the leaves change color and fall from their branches, it is a good idea to ‘fall out’ of your old skincare habits and make subtle changes to help you look and feel your best as the days grow shorter. Because your skin secrets a lower quantity of natural oils during this season than in the warm summer months, you are bound to experience some dryness. Replenishing your skin’s natural moisture will keep it soft and help prevent chapping. My favorite fall skincare ingredient is pumpkin. Not only is it high in vitamin A, C, zinc and antioxidants but practically all varieties of the fruit have wonderful moisturizing properties.

Pumpkin Face Mask 1 Tbs raw (undertreated) honey 2 Tbs raw pumpkin, mashed in a food processor or www.BuyTheMagicBlender.com (raw has more vitamins & enzymes, but cooked pumpkin can be substituted) Mix well and apply all over your face. Leave for about 10–15 minutes before washing off.

Pumpkin Body Scrub ½ C raw pumpkin, pureed ½ C brown sugar Mix well and apply to your body using gentle, circular motions. Then rinse off with warm water.

Homemade PRotectiVe HaiR tReatment News Flash! Sun Can Help Nourish Your Hair!

What? How can that be? Go to the beach and relax while your hair receives the nourishment it needs.

Ingredients: Several tablespoons natural oil like Jojoba, olive or camellia oil Natural shampoo Sun!

1. At home or right at the beach apply several tablespoons of natural oil to dry hair, working from the ends towards the roots. Jojoba oil makes a good choice because it closely resembles the scalp’s natural oil. You can also try olive or camellia oil.

2. Comb through your hair to distribute the oil 3. Braid or wrap your hair in a secure bun for the rest of the day and relax in the sun while your hair receives a nourishing treatment. When you return home, apply a natural shampoo before wetting your hair to wash out the oil. This allows the shampoo to break down the oil more effectively and keeps water from sliding off slick hair.

Reduce Facial Wrinkles While You Sleep – by as much as 20%! Most people don’t know this, but 20% of the wrinkles on your face are causes by sleeping! This about it, if you sleep on your side or on your stomach you are causing your skin to crease at certain places, and even worse, this can cause one side of your face to wrinkle more than the other. It sounds nuts, but I promise it’s true. I can usually tell just by looking at someone which side they sleep more on. And it’s not just your face that will have more wrinkles from sleeping on your side – this causes more wrinkles on your chest as well. One breast will fold over and create lines where it is creased on your chest. So what can you do to prevent these unnecessary lines? Sleep on your back. Seriously, that’s it. Just get into the habit of sleeping on your back! Using an ergonomically correct foam pillow can make this easier to do if you’re not already in the habit, but it might take you a few weeks to get used to it.
