Natural & Organic Bath Time Secrets

For the woman concerned about her exposure to chemicals, a non-toxic, organic beauty regimen starts with fruits, vegetables, and plants. It is from these sources that essential oils, vitamins, and minerals are extracted to help tone, firm, soften, and slow aging of the skin. They are used to combat free radicals in the environment, which oxidize the skin. Let's take a look at some natural lotions, moisturizers, and other items that will improve your natural bath & body routine.

The following ingredients can be used to make homemade beauty products that are perfect for bath time:

Oranges
The peels of orange and lemon placed directly into bath water along with orange flower, comfrey leaves, chamomile, and almond meal make a soak that is loaded with the powerful antioxidant, vitamin C.

Peaches
Coupled with benzoin, coconut or almond oil, and orange oil peaches are the star ingredient of organic lotion.

Avocados
The vitamin E present in avocados improves the look and feel of skin when used as a face mask.

Shea and Cocoa butter
These butters have a knack for moisturizing the skin and providing density to any bar of soap.

Essential oils
Essential oils give natural products their fragrance and cleansing properties. Ranging from lavendar to tea tree, essential oils are good antifungals, antibacterials, and some improve your mood.
