But what you put <strong>on<\/strong> your body is just as important as what you put <strong>in<\/strong> your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent data shows that women use an average of 16 products on their face alone and 12 products on their body per day. That often amounts to over 250 chemicals per day! If there are more than 12,000 chemicals approved for use in these cosmetics and personal care products, how many of these are actually safe? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than simply promoting a brand, the \u201cnatural, clean beauty\u201d movement supports the use of familiar everyday ingredients in personal care products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since beauty starts from within, be sure to eat a variety of foods high in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/Antioxidants\/\">antioxidants<\/a><\/strong>, omega-3 fatty acids, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/13-essential-vitamins\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"vitamins (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">vitamins<\/a> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/15-essential-minerals-for-body\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"minerals (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">minerals<\/a><\/span>.&nbsp; To make up for any dietary shortages, consider some of these<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/Beauty-Care\/\">natural beauty supplements and products.<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/Beauty-Care\/\"> <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to carefully read labels on beauty care\nproducts. Use the following as a guide.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Natural\nBeauty Secrets for Skin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for products that contain raw pineapple and kiwi. These\nhave natural protease enzymes that help break down proteins to slough off dead\nskin and give you a vibrant, fresh look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Papaya fruit contains enzymes to cleanse skin while hydrating and moisturizing. Rubbing the peel on your face removes dead cells and nourishes the underlying layers, combating the signs of aging. Applying the pulp under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/best-eye-supplement\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"eyes (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">eyes<\/a> can help with dark under-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/vision-health-lutein\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"eye (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">eye<\/a> circles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honey has antibacterial properties and antioxidants that\nopen pores, cleanse the skin and moisturize for an amazing glow. Tip: try honey\nwith lemon juice to fully cleanse and hydrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, alpha hydroxy acid and malic acid, which are good for cleansing, exfoliating and toning for a pure, balanced complexion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Natural Beauty Secrets for Hair<\/strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/beauty-care\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\"    src=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/beauty-secrets-CTA-2-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1150\" style=\"width:512px;height:268px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/beauty-secrets-CTA-2-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/beauty-secrets-CTA-2-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/beauty-secrets-CTA-2-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/beauty-secrets-CTA-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Castor oil contains <a aria-label=\"vitamins (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/vitamins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vitamins<\/a>, antioxidants and ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid that helps with inflammation. Applying this to your scalp can help nourish hair follicles and increase circulation to the scalp, encouraging hair growth and overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coconut oil is rich in proteins, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/vitamins\/e-vitamins\">E vitamins<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/Essential-Fatty-Acids\/\">essential fatty acids<\/a> that help protect strands from environmental damage and prevent breakage and split ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Goji Berry contains essential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/minerals\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"minerals (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">minerals<\/a>, carotenoids, amino acids (building blocks of protein) and vitamins.

Adding this to\nyour brushing routine prevents bacteria and removes stains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOil pulling\u201d consists of rinsing the mouth with certain\noils such as coconut, sunflower or sesame oil. Not only will this help remove\nbacteria and debris you may have missed brushing, but it will also help remove\nstains and whiten your teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Natural\nBeauty Secrets for Strong, Healthy Nails <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Flaxseed oil provides minerals, antioxidants and fatty acids to promote growth and strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/top-10-herbs-for-body-mind\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Olive (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Olive<\/a> oil combined with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/herbs\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"lemon (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">lemon<\/a> helps remove stains, and because lemons are loaded with vitamin C, this combination also protects nails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jojoba oil acts as a natural preservative and healing agent to strengthen nail beds and fully revitalize nails, providing strength and length.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While many of us look at ingredients on food labels, few of us scrutinize ingredients in beauty products.
