Argan Oil - 'liquid gold'

Known as 'liquid gold', argan oil is an incredible organic product found in the country of Morocco. Let me tell you, this oil is God sent. It can be used for every thing that is necessary for health and beauty purposes such as:

• Skin Moisturizer
• Hair Conditioner
• Anti-aging
• Dry Skin Conditions
• Acne
• Pregnancy
• Lip Moisturizer
• Etc.

When applied to the skin, pure Argan oil can prove to be both healing and anti-aging. Argan oil is commonly used as a skin moisturizer to hydrate and soften the skin. It is a non-greasy and a non-irritating product  that can be easily applied to the skin.

I have been using Argan oil for about an year, and I already see a great change in my skin. I suffer from major dry skin condition, which leaves my skin flaky and itchy. However, with the Argan oil my skin has been relieved and glowing ever since.  

The best thing about Argan oil is that is can be used in its pure form. One bottle of Argan oil is very resourceful and can be used for all these benefits. This 'liquid gold' will change the way you live your 

life.

The Argan oil that has changed my view around is Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil. Just one drop of this product will change the glow on your face. 

It is created by supermodel Josie Maran who has concentrated mostly on perfecting this oil and its benefits to the public. 

Josie Maran's 100% Pure Argan Oil is a subversive beauty booster which will immediately amaze you with its ability to moisturize, hydrate and soften your skin.

This product can be bought at any Sephora store nearby or online.

Natural remedies for that nasty odour

 

 
Let's face it: A nasty body odor isn't going to make you the life of ANY party. However, the deodorant use has gone up tremendously , BUT nothing seems to work.
There are many home remedies for body odor that you can use to keep yourself smelling like a rose.

1. Wipe vinegar or hydrogen peroxide onto your underarms during the day to cut down the number of odor causing bacteria.
2. Dust baking soda on any odor troubled part of your body. This powder absorbs moisture, and also kills odor causing bacteria. 
3. Shave regularly under your arms. Underarm hair can increase body odor because it traps sweat and bacteria.
4. Apply tea-tree oil to troubled areas, as long as it doesn’t irritate your skin. This oil, from an Australian tree, kills bacteria and also has a pleasant scent.
5. A citrus fruit like lemon changes the pH level of your skin, making it more acidic. All bacteria have a hard time surviving in a highly acidic environment. Just rub on some lemon and pat dry. 

Another way of getting rid of the odor is to eat the right kind of food.

1.  Eat plenty of spinach, chard and kale. Green, leafy vegetables are rich in chlorophyll, which has a strong deodorizing effect in your body.
2.  Eating white meat, such as chicken or fish, instead of red meat might produce less body odor.

If your body odor still continues despite the good hygiene and proper diet, your problem might just be CLOGGED PORES.
When your skin can't properly eliminate the body waste, bad body odor is the result.  All you need to do is gently dry brush your skin before your shower.

Now go out and odor-free yourself :)
