The healing properties of flowers, plants, and fruits have
been known since early times. Natural beauty methods evolved through centuries
of observation, trial and error. Many cultures treasured the healing properties
of plants so deeply that they believed the plants to have magical powers as
well.
A sign of the importance attached to plants in ancient
societies is that they were often buried alongside people in their tombs.
The opening up of trade routes brought new plants and
foodstuffs to different people. Knowledge of how to use new plants was spread
by word of mouth over great distances, and recipes that have been handed down
through the years are still with us today.
Manufacturers of modern cosmetics are also aware of the
advantage of using natural ingredients. Manufacturers, however, include
chemical preservatives to lengthen the shelf life of their products. In some
cases, these chemicals mask the benefits of the natural ingredients, resulting
in a cosmetic with only small quantities of active properties.
Therefore, creating your own natural beauty preparations gives
you the full benefit of undiluted amounts of nature’s ingredients.
Discovering the vitamins, minerals and enzymes found in
natural ingredients and learning to put them to good use in beauty preparations
will open a new world of possibilities for new ways to cleanse, nourish, and
rejuvenate your skin and hair. In addition, producing an individual range,
whether it is for yourself, or for your family and friends, is very rewarding.
