No Cosmetic Surgery Beauty Products

I saw Dr. Youn on the Tamara Hall show, and found out that he is a believer in using “natural” methods for long term beauty regimens. He does sell beauty products, which I am happy to inform you he
reports to be “cruelty-free”.

I share his website with you because at HairBlues we try to help you find good beauty products.

Celebrating Native American Beauty

November is a time of year where many holidays are celebrated from various cultures. With that said, this is also Native American Heritage Month. I am happy to bring you information about Native American Beauty companies.

Here’s an excerpt from Womens Health website about these beauty products.
The majority of these Indigenous and Native American makeup, skincare, and body care brands, there’s a focus on ingredients found directly in nature and sustainable practices to harvest those ingredients and package the products. Utilizing natural herbs, oils, and extracts (like sage, tea tree, and lavender) is key for Indigenous communities, who live in communion with the land they’re on and incorporate nature into many of the medicinal practices that have been in their families for centuries. Many of the products are handmade by the founders, too.

Read the details at the link below for a list of these sustainable beauty products.

Benefits of Hand Massage with Carrier & Essential Oils

News you can use 🙂

Have you thought about using your essential oils to massage your hands? Recently I decided to see how using this option benefits your “well-being” care.

Here is what I learned from an article at the Healthline website:

  • better mood
  • reduced hand pain
  • less anxiety
  • improved sleep
  • greater grip strength

See additional details at the link below.
https://www.healthline.com/health/pain-relief/the-many-benefits-of-a-hand-massage-and-how-to-do-it-yourself#benefits

Treat yourself to watching the 5 minute hand massage demonstrations at the videos below. You will not be disappointed.

Healthline has detailed guidelines for which carrier and essential oils to use. In addition, I want to remind you always use a carrier oil (for example, fractionated coconut oil, olive oil) to dilute essential oils. Learn more about essential oils dilution at this link: https://hairblues.me/2022/07/04/an-essential-oil-dilution-lesson/
