Olive Oil - Natural Beauty Remedies
Olive Oil can be used for many different beauty recipes and natural remedies. Here are some ideas to use olive oil in your beauty care regimen.
Men: Shave with it. It's less drying than shaving cream filled with alcohol and preservatives.
Hair: If your hair is dry, dry, dry, then do an oil treatment with olive oil.
Baldness: Some people believe rubbing olive oil on your head every day prevents baldness. My grandfather did this for years and was bald as he could possibly be, so I'm not so sure this one works.
Manicure: Use a few drops of olive oil in warm water for a wonderful at-home manicure.
Lip Balm: Beeswax and olive oil melted and poured into a small tin makes wonderful lip balm that will keep your lips soft and smooth.
Bath: A few drops of olive oil added to your bath water is the best skin softener you can use.
Eczema: Try olive oil on your eczema to see if it helps soothe your dry, flaking skin.
Salt Scrub: Mix it with salt and rub it on your skin.
Dry feet: Cover your feet with olive oil before bed. Be sure to put clean socks on over them to help the oil soak in.
Eye Makeup Remover: Olive oil is excellent for removing mascara, even better than petroleum jelly or baby oil and will be beneficial to the skin around your eyes.

Benefits and Uses of Sunflower Oil in your Beauty Recipes
Sunflower Oil is a popular ingredient in many skin products (over the counter and homemade). Should you include Sunflower Oil in your homemade skin care recipes? Find out more about the benefits of Sunflower Oil below.
Sunflower Oil - From Your Shower To The Table
When it comes to food, natural sunflower oil is an excellent oil of choice. It is light in taste, odorless, and rich in health essential fatty acids. However this oil is also sensitive to heat so you may want to exclude sunflower oil from baking or frying to receive it's maximum nutritional value. It can used with healthful herbs and spices as an excellent salad dressing and works great in any other "cold" recipes.
In skin care products, sunflower is one of the favorite of softening emollients. It is rich in vitamins A, D, and especially in vitamin E and essential fatty acids. Sunflower oil has a light texture and is easily absorbed by skin, making it excellent for use in lotions, creams, massage oils, and other topical applications.
For many soapmakers, sunflower oil is the moisturizing oil of choice in soap recipes. Being high in linoleic fatty acid it can make a gentle skin softening soap, but the only downside is those linoleic acids also comes with a shorter shelf life than many other oils. That's why it is important that sunflower oil is balanced with other oils in proportions so that the benefits can be felt without increasing the likelihood of spoilage in soaps or any other cosmetic applications.
Use of natural preservatives such as additional vitamin E, rosemary extract, or grapefruit extract also helps recipes with higher amounts of sunflower oil to slow down the oxidation process which helps the overall product last significantly longer. Sunflower oil also comes in a "high oleic" formula that gives the oil an extended shelf life for cosmetic applications, although the benefits may feel somewhat different since it's essential fatty acid composition becomes slightly similar to olive oil at that point.

Benefits and Uses of Tea Tree Oil in your Beauty Recipes
Tee Tree Oil is said to be a very effective ingredient for your skin and hair. Should you include Tea Tree Oil in your homemade skin care recipes? Find out more about the benefits of Tea Tree Oil below.
The Miracles Of Tea Tree Oil For Skin And Hair Care
By: Kevin Pederson
Tea tree, MELALEUCA ALTERNIFOLIA, native to Australia, is a tree or shrub with needle like leaves similar in appearance to cypress with heads of sessile pale flowers. The popular tea tree oil is derived from this tree. The aborigines of Australia have been known to have used the tea tree oil to treat a range of ailments from colds, sores to acne and even whooping cough.
Extensively used in aromatherapy, the leaves when crushed release essential oils of varying amounts and constituents. The oil is so potent that it can be diluted up to many times its volume and it still manages to retain its effectiveness all the same. Although the benefits of tea tree oil are numerous, for beauty treatments, it’s been found effective in skin and hair care. The following sections describe the uses of Tea Tree Oil for skin care and hair care.
Tea tree oil for skin care
Tea tree oil has been used effectively to treat acne, abscess, athlete's foot, blisters, burns, cold sores, insect bites, oily skin, rashes, spots, warts and wounds. You can use tea tree oil to cure sunburns, diaper rash, toenail infections and problems of smelly feet.
Tea tree oil for hair care
Add a few drops of Tea tree oil to your regular shampoo to treat hair problems like persistent dandruff, itchy-scalp and even prevent head-lice. Massage it in, leave it on for 5-7 minutes and rinse off. Adding a few drops in pet shampoo/bath helps keep tics and rashes at bay.
Other benefits of tea tree oilFed-up with allopathic medicines? Packets of antibiotics that have gone down your throat seem to be of no use? The only things you find they have lightened are your pockets? Well, don't panic, help is at hand, Tea Tree oil can be used to treat a variety of medical problems. A great remedy to soothe your sinuses; dab a drop of tea tree oil around your nose can help clear up blocked sinuses.
Add a few drops in a steam bath or vaporizer and inhale, a great relief for persistent colds and cough. Regular use of tea tree oil has been found to be effective in treating Asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, cough, sinusitis and even tuberculosis.
Tea tree oil is a great general disinfectant and can be effectively used to treat genito-urinary tract infections such as thrush, vaginitis, cystitis and pruitis.
Tea tree oil has properties that act as a immune booster. It helps equip the body to fight off a host of infections. Using tea tree oil is particularly effective if the body is already in a weakened condition due to illness, stress or prolonged treatment-involving antibiotics that lead to a reduction of the body's natural resistance.
Using tea tree oil prior to a surgical operation or for those suffering from long-drawn debilitating illness has been found to be beneficial. The anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties have seen tea tree oil being used extensively in soaps, toothpastes, deodorants, disinfectants, gargles, germicides, aftershaves and colognes. Tea tree oil is safe to use, as it is non-toxic and non-irritant.
Although tea tree oil has no known side effects, some individuals may be sensitive to it. This calls for consideration of the strength of tea tree oil and should never be used undiluted on the body and particularly on sensitive areas.
