How to Be a Natural Beauty with Herbs
Ever wonder what makes some people look so radiant? If you ask someone who has wonderful skin or shiny hair, chances are they are the types of people who take care of themselves.
Not only that, but they are likely using
beauty
products that are made from natural ingredients or that include herbs and botanicals. I take this one step further and use simple herbal preparations on my skin and hair to help make my outward appearance look healthier.
What that basically amounts to is I make a tea out of the herbs I choose. Then, I either pour it over my head after I shampoo and condition as a hair rinse, add it to bath water, or just put some of the strong tea on a wash cloth while I'm in the shower. This helps keep my skin and hair looking beautiful and healthy.
I'll give you a list of herbs and what they do in terms of the hair and the skin. You can keep these herbs separate or combine them any way that you like.

Dried herb (if using more than one herb, make sure the total amount is 1 tablespoon)
2 Cups boiling water
Strainer if not using tea bags
Large dish or mug for the water
Herbs You Can Use
1
Choose one of the herbs from the list.
2
Decide if you need to control a skin or hair problem such as sensitive skin or dandruff.
3
Use the steps outlined below to prepare a strong tea to use for your hair or skin.
