7 Ways to be a Natural Beauty

We don’t need tons of time —or harsh chemicals—to get shiny, healthy hair and smoother skin. Just steal these gentle and natural back-to-basics moves to start looking and feeling your best.

Embolden Your Skin to Greater Heights of Radiance: Slice a few grapes in half and rub the cut sides over clean skin. “The fruit acids are natural exfoliators,” explains Regine Berthelot, head aesthetician at the Caudalie Vinotherapie Spa at The Plaza in New York City. We highly recommend you try Yamerra's Natural Facial Serum ($20 : online at Yamerra.com).

Incredibly nutrient-rich, restorative and energizing; Yamerra's Natural Facial Serum (2oz)

Wake up tired, puffy eyes: With a chilled eye cream (store yours in the fridge). Apply it from the outer corners of your eyes toward your nose. This helps drain excess fluid in the area. We recommend a homemade blend of: 1 ounce Jojoba oil, 5 drops Chamomile essential oil, 5 drops Rose essential oil.

Make your own homeopathic blend at home and store in a cool place. You can store small amount for everyday use in a dropper botttle

Directions:

Combine essential oils with Jojoba oil and store in a one-ounce glass bottle with a dropper top. To Use: Apply 1 drop of the oil to your finger and gently smooth the oil beneath your eye and onto the area just beneath the brow bone. Do not apply oil directly to your eyelids.

Zap blemishes with two ingredients homeopaths have used for centuries: anti-inflammatory arnica and antibacterial tea tree oil. Find them at any Whole Foods Market. 

Stay protected by applying a moisturizer with premium Shea butter before sunscreen; studies show the ingredient decreases the effect of UV radiation on skin and may help prevent sunburns. We like Yamerra's Home Sweet Home Honey Vanilla Hair and Body Butter, highly recommended for the Fall Season ($12 online: Yamerra.com)

Soothing, moisturizing and healing: Yamerra.com (1$12)

Make a facial mask more effective by applying it right before you get out of a steamy bathroom, where steam from your shower opens pores so ingredients can penetrate. Smooth plain yogurt over your face after your shower, let it sit for about 10 minutes (sit somewhere where it can dry), then rinse your face. 

A plain yogurt mask will do wonders for your skin! So quick, easy and affordable.

Create tousled waves with this trick from stylist John Masters: dissolve 1 tablespoon sea salt in a spray bottle filled with 8 ounces warm spring water, then add 10 drops of organic lavender oil; shake well, then spritz on damp hair and let it air-dry.

Strengthen hair with a mayo mask (its cholesterol plumps the cuticle). Comb 1/2 cup mayo through wet hair, wait 15 minutes, and rinse with cool water.

Hope these tips help you as they have helped me! Love, 
Maryam

How To Get Smooth, Glowing Skin

Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, leaving your skin radiant and smooth. You can exfoliate all year round at least twice a month. Whether it's bikini season or you just want soft, clean skin, exfoliating your skin from head to toe will get you glowing.

Many beauties exfoliate their faces but do not exfoliate other body parts. As the weather heats up and you get bikini-ready, you should exfoliate all over. Exfoliation is also important before  when rejuvenating winter-weary skin.

Supplies: Exfoliating Scrub or cleanser, Loofah, body brush or exfoliating gloves, Pumice stone, Body Balm or cream.

COMING SOON TO YAMERRA.COM:
Eco-Luxury Honey Vanilla Body Scrub

Instructions:

• Before stepping into the shower, brush your dry skin .This will help remove the loose skin and prepare your skin for the exfoliating process. Begin with the soles of your feet, working your way up your body.
• Get into the shower and wet your body from head to toe. Don't exfoliate your skin if you are sunburned or have any open cuts or wounds.
• Use a pumice stone on your feet to eliminate rough spots and calluses.
• Apply your exfoliating cleanser to your loofah or gloves. Begin scrubbing your body in a circular motion starting with the bottoms of your feet and working your way up. When you reach the bikini area, don't scrub too hard because the skin is very sensitive.
• Be gentle on your face, particularly around your eyes and mouth. Use an exfoliating product especially formulated for the face, which is gentler than products designed to be used on the body.
• Don't forget about your hands. You want them to look and feel soft and smooth too!
• Rinse your body with lukewarm water, and follow with the coldest water you can stand. Apply a shower gel to soften your skin. 

After stepping out of the shower, apply a moisturizing body balm all over.

Any of Yamerra’s Shea Hair and Body blends are recommended. Find one here. Exfoliation is drying to the skin, so you must keep your skin hydrated.

RESCUE ME, ROSEMARY! by Maryam Moma

Fresh Rosemary Herb

Think back, focus on the history of your hair. Our hair takes an awful beating between heat styling, coloring, teasing, and all the other abuse we inflict on our helpless strands. Not only that, but our hair changes with age and usually for the worse, not the better. There isn’t much we can do against hormones and changes due to time taking its course, but we can sure do our best to keep a healthy scalp in order for healthy, abundant hair to grow in. I’ve got one secret weapon in my hair arsenal that can’t be beat: Rosemary.

I’ve been using rosemary oil on my scalp for months (since the winter set in), and it’s made a huge difference in my scalp, stopping itchiness and dryness in its tracks! Normally have a very dry scalp, but the rosemary oil keeps it supple and healthy. It amazes me how much this natural remedy has helped my hair! I put a few drops of rosemary oil in each parted section (4) of wet hair.I then massage through my entire scalp with my fingers… It takes maybe two minutes. You can pick up an organic rosemary oil from Whole Foods or any other natural foods store.

If you want to super charge your rosemary routine, pick up Yamerra's Rejuvenating Lemon Fire Bliss with healing rosemary  . After shampooing, saturate your hair with the oil, put on a shower cap, and hold a blow dryer over it for 5 minutes. Leave it on for an additional 15-30 minutes and then rinse out and style as usual. Or if your hair is in really bad shape, apply a small amount to the ends of your hair and leave it in as you style. You can also apply this to your scalp for maximum conditioning! If you’ve got dry, brittle, damaged hair, rosemary is an ingredient you definitely want to take advantage of for softer, stronger, and healthier hair.

Yamerra's Healing Lemon Fire Bliss Hair and Body butter is nutrient rich, includes Rosemary among other restorative herbs for scalp, hair and skin. SAVE big and use a product that has the ability to cater to you- Head-to-Toe!
