Pores - Be - Gone

    Pores can be overwhelming to the face when they appear large and clogged, often giving the appearance of damaged and blemished skin.  It's a concern for many, but definitely an issue that can be tackled with simple remedies.  The pores become enlarged from various things; sun exposure, poor skin care, aging,  natural reactions from the environment, or oils produced by the skin, to name a few.  The two links below offer simple home remedies that you can use to shrink those pores and get the skin you're yearning for.  http://www.homeremedyshop.com/31-home-remedies-to-shrink-the-open-pores/ http://www.top10homeremedies.com/how-to/get-rid-clogged-pores.html

Amla Oil - Hair and Scalp Therapy

The oil is taken from the Indian gooseberry which is a tree native to India.  It offers special proponents and fatty acids that strengthens the hair, moisturizes and stimulates the scalp, elevators grays and dry strands, and encourages hair growth.    This is the only brand I've used, Dabur Amla shown below.  It does wonders for my coils.  My scalp can dry out easily, but this does the job, by simply doing a treatment once to twice monthly.  You can however use it more often, depending on your hair needs. My preference is to saturate my hair with the oil and apply a plastic cap for two to three hours.  I then follow the oil treatment up with a natural shampoo cleansing and deep conditioner.  This will assist with maintaining a healthy shine, as well as prevent breakage to my fragile ends.  Link on how to apply the oil and get the best effect: http://www.wikihow.com/Apply-Amla-Oil Here's a simple outline from Longing4length.com that lists the expected results

Grapeseed Oil

    So grapeseed oil is one of those items I frequently alternate off and on between coconut oil.  I'll pretty much grab whichever one I can pick up faster in my house.  My top favorite things to use grapeseed oil for would be my face.  I apply daily after I use blacksoap on my face.  It's perfect for applying to my hair before shampooing and conditioning.  Simply saturate the hair in the oil, and apply a shower cap for an hour, or as long as you choose- can't hurt.  You can also use it once you've cleansed your hair and scalp, as a routine hair oil.  This oil moisturizes the hair in addition to conditions and strenghtens those ragged ends.  Their is little to no smell, so it should not conflict with any other products you may use.  It's perfectly safe for children as well (hair and skin).  Apply the oil to dry skin daily, to heal dried and skin and cracked heels.  Moistuize the cuticles and nails to strenghten and help those nails grow too!  So that's
