The Benefits Of Skin Care & Beauty Routines
By Jo Watt
Let’s dive in to skin care and beauty routines and why caring for our body is super important.
First of all putting time and energy into your appearance isn’t about being superficial or vain. It’s a way of honouring and nurturing your body in a way that is loving and caring.
Beauty Rituals are not only mood boosting and empowering, but it helps instil confidence in yourself and sparks individuality and gives you a sense of pride.

Here are 5 Things I Love to Use In My Beauty Routine.
Clay Face Mask – Personally I like to use natural clay masks that I make myself with Bentonite (or Kaolin) Clay with either activated charcoal or Matcha Green Tea Powder with some water and essential oils. Its detoxifying and its helps clean the impurities from your face.
Essential Oil Aromatic Dressing – I like to use coconut oil with a combination of my favourite essential oils and massage all over my skin.
Sugar Scrub for Exfoliation – This is great to help get rid of dead skin and exfoliate. Simply use sugar, coconut oil and essential oils.
Foot Spa – I love using Epsom Salts, Sea Salt, Warm Water & Essential Oils to detoxify and cleanse my feet. If you have a bath tub you can also do this practice.
Coconut & Essential Oils Hair Oil – I find my hair is really dry and unmanageable after I wash it so I like to put coconut oil in my hair after I wash it to nourish my scalp and smooth my dry hair.
There are loads of DIY recipes on Pinterest or Google for you to find that suits you.
