Our bodies are primarily made of 90% water and we need H20 to stimulate the circulation of blood and to regulate our skin’s natural balance. If we don’t drink enough water not only will our bodies dehydrate, but our skin becomes unhealthy and dry. When your body is properly hydrated, you’ll look better and feel better, your body runs like a well oiled machine, your skin and complexion will be radiant and you feel at your best.

There is documented  research indicating that the main ingredient Beeswax,  is used as a remedy for dry hair, to help start and maintain dreadlocks. Beeswax contains moisturizing properties which can hydrate and soften dry hair. Beeswax can be used in its natural form or as a main ingredient found in hair pomades intended to thicken, strengthen and add moisture and shine to hair.


Spotlight On Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is excellent massage oil for the skin as well. It acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skins including dry skin. The benefit of coconut oil on the skin is comparable to that of mineral oil. Further, unlike mineral oil, there is no chance of having any adverse side effects on the skin with the application of coconut oil. Coconut oil therefore is a safe solution for preventing dryness and flaking of skin. It also delays wrinkles, and sagging of skin which normally become prominent with age. Coconut oil also helps in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other skin infections. Therefore coconut oil forms the basic ingredient of various body care products such as soaps, lotions, creams, etc., used for skin care.

Spotlight On Beeswax ~

Beeswax locks in moisture, fosters cells and protects skin from damaging environmental factors. Reports  also support that beeswax effectively “softens your skin and creates a long-lasting protective coating against the elements. It also is a naturally nourishing moisturizer as well as being anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-allergenic and a germicidal antioxidant.” According to Botanical.com, “Even after processing, beeswax still remains a biologically active product, retaining some anti-bacterial properties and also contains some vitamin A, which is necessary for normal cell development.” The Mayo Clinic recommends lip balm made from beeswax for chapped lip care and prevention.

Spotlight on Rosewood Essential Oil ~

Rosewood essential oil helps in energizing the skin cells and it is effective in tissue regeneration of the skin thereby, making the skin young and beautiful. Rosewood oil is good for all skin types. Application of rosewood oil on the face helps reduce the onset of blackheads, pimples, acne and boils on the face by controlling the amount of sebum secreted by the oil glands in the face. The molecules in rosewood oil promote tissue regeneration and leave the skin feeling clean, healthy, soft and glowing. Rosewood oil’s cell stimulation and tissue rejuvenating properties make it a suitable oil to treat wrinkled, aging and mature skin.

Anti-Aging Myths vs. The Evolution Of Natural Beauty

Everyday I see a new commercial or magazine ad related to anti-aging, creams, and serums, sprays, and baths, pills and tonics, etc. All these ads promise that by using those products you will be able to recapture your youth, smooth the fine lines and crow’s feet, and restore your skin’s elasticity.  But what is the real deal? There are no creams, serums or tonics that will reverse the very human process of aging.

We are all aging, we are all evolving, we all moving into different stages of our lives of which we become the mirror that reflects how we see ourselves, how we think, how we eat, how we socialize. The reality is that we do change and we get older and so does our skin. How can we embrace and love the person we see in that mirror? I feel that we are not really accepting the beauty of our uniqueness and individuality, I see men and women seeking and trying to replace their uniqueness with something else, looking into a mirror and wanting to look like an advertised artificial idea, or a scientific concept, and we buy into the myth that they can reverse a natural human process. News flash -There is a lot of money being made by big cosmetics companies that know that we do not want to grow older.

Spells For The Body Raw & Natural Skincare has created a growing line of products with one goal in mind, Reality. We will not promise to change you, your look, or make you younger. Spells For The Body Raw & Natural Skincare Products does promise to replenish, restore, re-hydrate, and remind you that your skin is unique to you. Your skin needs love, it needs H20, it needs care and once you start to love the skin you’re in, believe me, you will notice that aging is not a threat but an evolution of beauty, a beauty that is real and specific to you, your skin tone, your features, and skincare needs.

I believe that we can recapture our youth by naturally enhancing and satisfying the skin we have by nurturing it and providing our skin with what it needs, getting back to Nature.
