H&M organic beauty

H&M has a new line of beauty products with organic ingredients. The line includes liquid soap, lotion and body scrub in many fragrances.

I have not seen the products to see if they have the dreaded sulfates and parabens, but I'm glad to see more organic beauty products at good prices. They will be available in March.

Beauty products from the kitchen

While it is very convenient (and shopping is always fun and therapeutic) to simply buy personal care products from a shop, even when you are buying something with claims like all-natural, organic, no preservatives added, etc., you still are not sure what you are really buying.

In many cases, you have no choice but to buy products off the shelf and the key is to read the ingredients list carefully and buy only reputed brands. However, some personal care products can be made in your kitchen using products that are already in your pantry.

Gelila, a model, shows three different products in this video.

1. How to use olive oil (an antioxidant) as a moisturizer and to nourish your hair.
   
2. Use baking soda to make an exfoliant.
3. How to make a toner for oily skin using apple cider vinegar and garlic.
