This is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. EMPOWERED BEAUTY: YOUR GUIDE TO NATURAL SKIN AND SELF CARE Hello Beautiful and thank you for downloading your Empowered Beauty 5 Day Challenge! I know a few things about skin care. These are my before and after photos of what my skin used to look like. My acne started when I was 14 and only went away a few years ago after I completely cleaned up my diet and switched to natural skin care products even though I had tried EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT you can imagine before that. The photo on the left is from 2001. I was 28, had 2 kids, was doing my MA in English and Comparative Literature and this was the face I had to walk out with everyday. You can see my acne on my forehead, chin, cheeks--all over really. Except no-one really saw it like that because I had it covered up with about 6 inches of heavy foundation and concealer every day. But if it was a hot day, as that day was, the makeup would slide right off because my complexion was just SO oily. Yup. www.danadinnawi.com These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. And my face looked like that since I was about 14 when my acne first started and it's the face I had up until about 4 years ago. The second photo is me last year. I still have my freckles but my acne is completely gone. I don't need to use heavy foundation any more--just a little bit of tinted moisturiser, eyeliner, mascara and lipgloss. And not every day. Most days I don’t put anything on my face at all. My name is Dana Dinnawi and I am a holistic health and wellness lifestyle coach. I want to empower you to balance your hormones naturally and get out of the cycle of yo-yo dieting. I want you to understand--and not just follow blindly---why and how food works for or against your body. I want you to take back control of your body and health because when you do that, you take back control of your life and when THAT happens, you can create a guilt-free lifestyle that fills you up every. single. day. And the most important pieces for you are weight loss; energy; focus and CONFIDENCE in your clothes and how you look. Yes, you want to LOOK AND feel good. And while my nutrition programs get results for weight loss, losing inches, and regaining energy and focus, it was a natural transition for me to create a guide that focuses on creating beauty from the inside out—through your skin. I have personally experienced the trauma, (yes trauma), of bad skin and how that can shake your confidence. My acne just wouldn’t budge no matter what I tried, or what new medication my new dermatologist gave me or what new cream or procedure (and there were some very severe procedures) to get rid of the acne and to reduce the scarring. It all worked but with very short-term results. Nothing was sustainable and nothing gave me back my confidence. I could NEVER leave the house without a heavy layer of foundation to cover my insecurity. Right now I have a very different complexion—no more acne, no more trauma, no more daily foundation to go out and much more confidence. And I want to show you how to do that too. www.danadinnawi.com These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. I created this challenge to show you how to restore and rebalance your skin from within—because, as I’ve personally experienced, that’s where skin is REALLY restored, not by using topical chemical toxins that only add to your skin’s burden. My skin improved dramatically after I changed what I ate, but the real transformation happened when I also changed my commercial products and prioritized self care. And restoring your skin’s balance isn’t just for acne. It’s for any skin issue you may be experiencing—wrinkles, sagging skin, dark spots, or a basic lack of “life”. We only get one shot at life—where we feel energetic, and confident in our body and skin. Which means . we have to make the most of the time we have. You feel you're ready for change. You’re ready to feel better in yourself. And you’re ready to try something new. That’s what this Empowered Beauty challenge is all about. Let’s get started! Dana www.danadinnawi.com These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Skin Deep Did you know that the average woman uses up to 12 products per day containing anywhere up to 168 toxic ingredients, making one of our most coveted routines – our morning and evening facial washing rituals – one of the most dangerous if we don’t use the right products? That's because your skin is a “breathable” organ. Up to 60% of what you apply topically on your skin will be absorbed into your bloodstream within 26 seconds. 26 seconds. That's faster than absorption through digestion. Most cosmetic companies do NOT list their ingredients, aka toxic chemicals, because they are not required to do so. And several of these toxic chemicals are linked to a host of problems including: allergies, skin rashes, cancer, headaches, fertility and reproductive issues, birth defects, hormone inhibitors, and more. Fortunately, heightened awareness and potential dangers have caused consumers to take a closer look at what they put on their skin and demand safer alternatives. Take a look at your favorite products and see if you find some of these toxic chemicals listed: • Parabens – often found in deodorants and moisturizers, parabens are hormone inhibitors and believed to accelerate tumor growth • Artificial fragrance and color – may trigger allergies, asthma, and some colors contain lead and harmful dyes • Toulene – found in nail polish, hair color products, and some fragrances, this chemical is linked to kidney and liver damage, which may affect fetal growth • Sodium Lauryl Sulfate/Sodium Laureth Sulfate – a foaming agent found in shampoos and body/facial washes, it dries out the skin and is linked to eczema, hair loss, rashes, and dry and scaly skin. • Formaldehyde – used as a preservative, formaldehyde is known by several different names and should be avoided at all costs, as the side effects are numerous • PEG’s – found in numerous skin and personal care products, this is anti-freeze and should be used in for your car, not your skin! • Paraffin/Mineral Oil/Petrolatum – clogs pores, causing toxic build-up • Phthalates – found in plastics, it is a known hormone disruptor www.danadinnawi.com These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. • Triclosan – used in anti-bacterial products, it is a pesticide, harmful to the environment, and a suspected carcinogenic Of course, there are more, but you get the point. You can look up what’s in your skin care products by visiting one of my favorite sites: http://www.ewg.org If you wouldn’t EAT it, it doesn’t belong on your SKIN. But WHAT you DO eat is equally as important if not more more so when it comes to the quality of your skin. Your Gut and Your Skin Skin issues are definitely not skin-deep. Skin is the largest organ in our body, and it reflects the condition inside our body. The best way to relieve skin problems is to fix the root cause so that they can be taken care of once and for all. And the root cause (as with all chronic conditions) lies in your gut. Your skin is also the largest detoxifying organ in your body. It is your first line of defense! The minute you ingest something of a chemical nature or an allergen or experience a stressful situation, your skin reacts by breaking out by trying to expel the toxins, whether those we consider real poisons or the ones emitted by our stress hormones. This is when your skin is telling you that you are out of balance, that you are doing things that are not serving you, that it is not the time to cover it all up with the fanciest concealers, but instead it is time to undergo a major clean-up. These are some possible causes of skin conditions: • Poor digestion and absorption • Not enough "good" bacteria (gut flora) in the digestive tract • Overgrowth of candida yeast • Leaky gut • Cold sores -immune system is trying to fight off internal infection • Rash or hives = allergic reaction to food or medications • Yellowish skin tone = problem with liver www.danadinnawi.com These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. • Vitamin A deficiency produces skin congestion through over-keratinization of skin cells • Vitamin A and zinc deficiencies lead to lowered ability to fight infection • Lack of friendly bacteria in the digestive tract leads to lowered ability to fight infection If you who want that youthful, glowing skin that’s a reflection of the healthy you, of healthy intestines, of healthy and unclogged lymphatic system (your body’s garbage disposal system), you need to start with a cleanse and apply the following: Remove or limit all sources of wheat, dairy, sugar, processed oils, processed foods, caffeine, alcohol and soy.

  • Oil Cleansing for Naturally Perfect Skin
    Oil Cleansing for Naturally Perfect Skin wellnessmama.com/7569/skin-oil-cleansing/ I’ve posted many natural living and natural beauty ideas before, and this is one of the most simple and effective natural beauty tips I’ve ever found. I admit, I was skeptical before I first tried this, since my skin is naturally oily and I wasn’t sure it would work for me. I had also had very acne prone skin when I was younger, and was afraid that a method like this would bring back the acne… I was wrong! What is Oil Cleansing? Though it sounds somewhat crazy at first, the idea of using natural oils to cleanse the skin gently actually makes a lot of sense. The basic idea of oil cleansing is to use natural oils in specific combination to cleanse the skin and naturally balance the skin’s natural oils. This produces much more nourished and moisturized skin that traditional soap and detergent based facial cleaners. As the website dedicated to the oil cleansing method explains: “The basic concept of this skin care and cleansing method is that the oil used to massage your skin will dissolve the oil that has hardened with impurities and found itself stuck in your pores. The steam will open your pores, allowing the oil to be easily removed. Should you need it, the smallest drop of the same oil formula patted over damp skin will provide the necessary lubrication to keep your skin from over- compensating in oil production.” Even Acne.org explains the benefits of oil cleansing: “Fact: Oil dissolves oil.

Vol. 7, No. 4, 2019, pp. 110-115. doi: 10.11648/j.ajac.20190704.11 Received : January 26, 2019; Accepted : July 17, 2019; Published : July 30, 2019 Abstract: This study reports the characterization of oil from Castor (Ricinus Communius L) seed oil. The biocosmetic potential of the castor oil was evaluated for hair through physico-chemical characterization. The various physicochemical parameters (iodine value, pH value, specific gravity, refractive index, peroxide value, etc) were tested in accordance with American standard testing method specifications and compared with argan oil. Accordingly, the parameters tested comply with some journals dealing with cosmetics. Biocosmetic has high potential as a raw material for synthetic cosmetics or blend stock substitution for cosmetics without any modification. The advantage of castor oil over other oils (sunflower, olive, soy bean, corn) would lie in the oil price. Keywords: Caster Oil, Castor Beans, Biocosmetic, Nonedible Oil, Soxhlet Extractor, Argan Oil During the last century, synthetic substitutes have become 1.

  • Argan Oil, Murumuru Butter, Safflower
    Yep, The Oil Cleansing Method REALLY Works (really!) By: Stephanie Pelczar How can OIL cleanse skin? ​ ​ Short answer: When you rub oil onto your skin, it pulls the sebum and dirt out of your pores, leaving behind clean, moisturized skin. BUT the type of oil you use matters! Not all oils have the same properties, and some will work better on certain types of skin than others. It depends on the comedogenic rating of the oil. Comedogenic- what is that? Comedogenic means that it causes comedones- or acne/clogs pores instead of cleansing pores. The comedogenic scale rates oils from 0-5, zero being noncomedogenic (won’t clog pores), up to 5. While highly moisturizing, oils with a comedogenic rating of 5 can be counterproductive to use for skin cleansing purposes if you have acne-prone skin. Here are some oils/butters and their comedogenic rating: ZERO, 0: Argan oil, Murumuru Butter, Safflower Oil (high linolenic), Shea Butter, Sunflower Seed Oil, Tucuma Butter, Hemp Seed Oil, Kokum Butter, Mango Butter, Poppy Seed Oil, Red Raspberry Seed Oil, Watermelon seed oil, ONE, 1: Babassu Oil, Castor Oil, Cucumber Seed Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Neem Oil, Milk Thistle, Perilla Oil, Pomegranate Oil, Rosehip Oil, Sea Buckthorn Oil, Guava Seed Oil, Calendula Oil, Kiwi Seed Oil, Maracuja/Passion Fruit Seed Oil TWO, 2: Sweet Almond Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Andiroba Oil, Coconut Oil (Virgin), Evening Primrose Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Hazelnut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Olive Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Sesame Oil, Borage Oil, Tamanu Oil THREE, 3: Macadamia nut oil, Avocado oil, Chia seed Oil, FOUR, 4: Cocoa Butter, Coconut Oil (Unfractionated), Flaxseed Oil, Cupuacu Butter, Palm Oil FIVE, 5: SoyBean OIl, Wheat Germ Oil How do you perform the oil cleansing method on your face once you have the right oils for your skin type? Place a few drops of the oil/oil blend onto the palm of your hand or on your fingertip.

  • THE HOME APOTHECARY Home Crafted Recipes Using Herbs and Essential Oils by Jacki Ritz I’M Jackie, a Thirtysomething Mother of Two and Wife of an Army Veteran
    THE HOME APOTHECARY Home Crafted Recipes Using Herbs and Essential Oils By Jacki Ritz I’m Jackie, a thirtysomething mother of two and wife of an Army Veteran. I’m the headmistress behind The Paleo Mama website and author of Everyday Natural: Living a Pure and Simple Life Is Not As Complicated As You Think 1. My journey into crafting my own herbal recipes started when I was pregnant with my first child nearly 11 years ago. I remember reading the ingredients for the first time on my sunscreen bottle and then searching online for what “oxybenzone” could do to my unborn baby. Then I found out that my hair dye had lead in it, my body wash had known carcinogens in it, and in my deodorant was aluminum, which is a known hormone disruptor. So I purged my drawers and dresser tops of these dangerous products and started making my own. Not only did I discover that it was fun to create homemade products for my health, my home, and my children, but it was also so much cheaper, and I was saving money! This passion into getting my hands dirty with ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, cacao butter, bentonite clay, essential oils and herbs, led me to the desire to learn more about these beautiful gifts of the earth through having my own herbal garden, dabbling into permaculture principles, attending plant and mushroom walks, and, eventually, through attending herbal medicine school to become a trained herbalist. I am confident that once you make your first batch of homemade body butter, or create a nightly ritual of sipping on my Golden Milk latte, you will fall in love with the art of herbal medicine making.

  • DIY Beauty Transcript
    My name's Brittany Lynch, and I will be teaching you how to make your own all-natural beauty products today. I'm really looking forward to hosting today's class simply because I wish it was around when I first started. I know that often when people think about making their own beauty products, they think it's a simple following a recipe. The problem is following recipes can be limiting and recipes really are best used as a guideline. Knowing how to modify the recipe in order to get the end-results that you want for your skin or your hair or your health benefits is really important, whether you want to make it for personal use or to sell and use as a way to grow a business, I think this is information that you're going to be really appreciative of having after you've gone through these video trainings. It's information that I just wish I had and I wish it was put into a clear, concise presentation like this. I'm going to do my best to really kind of blow you out of the water in terms of over-delivering here. Let's go ahead and get started. How to make your own, all-natural beauty products The first thing I want to do is I just want to talk about what you can expect to learn from this course. The first thing that I think is really important is my goal is to really help you understand the ingredients that go into common DIYbeauty recipes and how to make substitutions and alterations based on your skin type and the ingredients that you have available.
