Coconut oil is known to be an effective moisturizer to prevent dryness and delay the appearance of wrinkles. It also has healing qualities to help with skin conditions such as psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema.
As a makeup artist, I am frequently asked, “Is this natural?” Most cosmetics have binders that help keep products from spoiling. They are not necessarily harmful; they help to prevent bacteria from forming. If you want 100% natural, try and make it yourself like I do. Its fun, cost efficient, and healthy.
My favorite items to make at home are lip & cheek stain. I use two simple, organic ingredients, which are safe to ingest. Using 1 tablespoon of organic melted coconut oil and 1 tablespoon of organic beet powder, mix these together until you have reached a nice, even consistency let sit for 10 min then stir and apply. That’s it…quick and simple. Apply to your lips and cheeks for a natural glow and pop of color. Any vegan powder with a lot pigment will work, so give it a try and have fun experimenting with color and different oils like organic olive oil.
If you like the results, explore other beauty tricks you can make at home with coconut oil such as eye liner and body scrubs. You can enjoy making your own vegan, soy free, gluten free & dairy free makeup without binders. Packaging is easy to find on www.amazon.com. It is fun, easy and good enough to eat!
