    April 2, 2010 by lbittenbender

    In honor of Earth month, Adonis Beauty Expert, Shonna Dent, j0433167shares the following Earth Friendly skin care and beauty tips.

    1. Want Not Waste Not - Use only 1 pump of cleanser, moisturizer, serum, etc. Most of the time, that is all you need, using more often times causes you to waste your product and can also cause skin irritation. Conserve the product you have. Less if often times MORE.

    2. Rejuvenating Toner/Spritzer: Take an old hairspray bottle of other spray bottle and add 4 oz of warm water, then add 5 drops of your favorite essential oil, shake it up and you have an amazing and refreshing spritzer to help hydrate and tone your skin! Some oils to consider for Spring: Orange or Neroli, Lemon, Lemongrass, Lavender combined with Patchouli, Jasmine combined with Orange.

    3. Hydrate Those Lips - Try exfoliating your lips with a mixture of Oatmeal and warm milk. Then take some honey, and put it on your lips, remove the honey after 10 minutes by just licking it off!

    4. Want more volume without having to purchase more hair products? This trick will not only give your hair a boost, but will also increase the oxygen flow to your face and give you a nice glow!! Take a paddle brush or large hair brush of any kind. On dry hair, start to brush your hair like normal, then begin to brush your hair to one side (for 3 minutes), then to the other side (for 3 minutes), then lean forward a bit and brush your hair, all the way from the base of your neck line, forward (for 3 minutes). You can then brush it back in place!!

    5. Shaving Tip: Try shaving your legs with baby oil instead of the expensive shaving gels or creams. Just remember that it can make your tub or shower slick!

    6. Earth Friendly Hand and Foot Treatment: Take 1 cup of Brown Sugar, mix it with 8 oz of Canola oil and you have an amazing scrub that is natural and works so much better than a lot of other products that cost much more and have harmful ingredients in them!

    ** The most important tip is to Reduce the amount of product you use, Reuse all of the products and tools that you can, and Recycle all of your product containers! Shopping for products at businesses that promote recycling is a good indication that they are caring for you and the environment.

    We, at Adonis Aesthetics, highly promote recycling! From our business supplies to the products we use!
