BEAUTY By Sheila Taney, RN, MSN

he heart of the summer is here and now is the time we want to look our best from head to toe. Many commercial beauty products are harmful for our skin and the environment. Homemade beauty products are cheap, easy to make and good for you and the environment. Here are some tips to feel good inside and out, naturally.

Drink at least eight glasses of water a day and even more if you will be outside or exercising. De-puff eyes by putting a wet tea bag in the refrigerator for ten minutes and then placing under eye area. Make a homemade body scrub out of sea salt or turbino sugar and some olive oil. Purify your face by making an avocado or honey mask. Chlorine and ocean water can dry out the hair, so moisturize your hair with olive oil. File your nails and paint with a natural nail polish or leave bare. Eat lots of local, in-season fruits and vegetables.

Refresh your feet by soaking in Epsom salt, water and essential oil. Eat food high in Vitamin E, which helps skin to maintain a healthy glow. Eat carrots to give you a sunny glow. Recipes can be found on natural beauty websites or in books. Involve your children by letting them pretend they are scientists by mixing the ingredients. Teach them what you are doing and that you are protecting your skin and the earth at the same time. Sheila Taney has two children and resides in Cherry Hill. She is passionate about teaching her children and others how they can participate in saving the environment.
