10 Natural Ways to Get Beautiful Right Now - By Katrine van Wyk
Looking your best doesn't have to be expensive or unnatural. Here are 10 easy ways to get beautiful, naturally, right now:
1. Dry-skin brush
Use a bristled brush and stroke your skin while still dry a few mornings a week before you shower. This simple morning routine increases circulation of lymph and blood and removes dead skin cells! You’ll get glowing, smooth and touch-worthy skin, guaranteed.
2. Sauna
Sweating is good for us and a dry sauna helps the body excrete toxins. The skin is one of the body’s elimination organs and when we allow it to breath by removing dead cells (dry skin brush) and sweat it can do its job a lot better.
3. Exercise
Get the blood flowing with some kind of exercise of your choice. It will bring color to your skin and the increased amount of endorphins and confidence looks good on you! Include some exercises like Pilates or yoga for good posture. Hold your head high, be present and smile – you are beautiful!
4. Have sex
After an orgasm your body gets flooded with the feel-good hormone endorphin and growth hormones that make you look and feel young. That’s right – these hormones help wipe out damage from sun and stress. The deep breathing you experience during sex also increases your oxygen intake and decreases stress. So go forth!
5. Green Juice
A green juice is like a loaded liquid multi vitamin! Cucumber is hydrating, especially for your skin, and the greens are alkalizing and aid the body’s detoxification process. Try this as your one-a-day multi and see what happens.
6. Lather your skin with oils *AND GOOD SKINCARE:
Avoid the toxic perfumes, parabens and additives and lather your skin up with 100% pure oils like *coconut, *jojoba, argan oil and Shea butter. Jojoba oil is especially great for oily skin as it help balance out the skins natural occurring oils. *Avocado is full of vitamins, Olive is full of anti-oxidants, Sunflower & Safflower don't clog up your pores as heavier oils may.  Evening Primrose Oil is great for balancing, and Rosehip Oil is reknowned for rejuvenating and healing scarred, damaged skin.  All these *oils are used in Tease Botanix skincare products, are cold-pressed/unprocessed to retain natural goodness.
7. Get a shower filter
Our body absorbs what we put on it –  and that goes for the water we bath and shower in too! There is added chlorine in all our tap water today. Chlorine dries out the skin and can even cause rashes and itchiness. Get a shower filter that filters out chlorine and other chemicals from you water. Your skin will thank you!
8. Eat fat and make an oil change
We need good fats to maintain a skin that’s well hydrated - that stays plump, dewy and wrinkle free. Eat avocados, salmon, chia seeds, sardines and coconut oil and ditch the processed oils (canola, sunflower, corn, soy etc.) – they are much more likely to oxidize and cause inflammation in the body – and is therefore not a beatifying food at all.
9. Eat the rainbow
Fruit and vegetables with bright colors are also high in antioxidants that help fight free radicals in out body. Free radicals are a main source of aging for our skin and body, so beat it at the cause with natural foods, not with fillers and expensive topical magic potions.
10. Cut the sugar
By now you’ve probably heard that sugar is toxic and can lead to a range of chronic diseases. But it also causes inflammation, which make you age faster, cause wrinkles and even acne. Stick to fruits and sweet vegetables as your main sources of sweetness. (Bonus: you’ll get all those good antioxidants in too!)

*All excellent tips & advice that are inexpensive to do, or change, that will make a huge difference.  My question to you ... Will you start now, or after New Years .. hmmm??

Hydrate... drink at least 8 glasses of water daily to avoid dehydration. Water clears toxins from our bodies, stops it from drying out and help to plump up cells.  Too much water can be taxing on kidneys though, so be mindful of thinking too much is a good thing.

Vitamins ... a deficiency in vitamin B, C and E can lead to premature wrinkles.  Orange fruits and vegetables are full of vitamin A that promotes repair of the skin and prevents the build-up of dead, pore clogging cells. Wholegrain, nuts, fish and dairy products are good sources of vitamin B & E as well as oils. Vitamin C helps prevent the pigment clumping that the sun turns into age spots and can be found in fruits & veges.  Plus Vitamin C helps the oil-secreting glands function properly to keep your skin from drying out.

Anti-oxidants ... foods containing anti-oxidants will boost the immune system, fight infections and heal scars. Manuka honey, dark berries, green tea, and even red wine and dark chocolate (high in cocoa not milk) are great food sources of anti-oxidants.  Anti-oxidants can also reduce the aging process by fighting against toxins (free-radicals) within the body.

Oils ... our skin needs a boost of good (unsaturated) oils.  Oils are crucial to our diet to protect our cells and boost the condition of our skin and as a bonus lower our cholesterol and protect our heart. Olive oil, fish oil, avocado, sunflower oil, nuts & seeds contain good fats and will boost the condition of your skin and promote skin elasticity.

Collagen ... the body needs collagen for to help retain the structure of our skin tissue and protects against cell damage. Natural collagen can be found in spinach, kale (seaweed), almonds and asparagus.

Tease Botanix ... in our products we use alot of the oils, vitamins and anti-oxidants listed above - applying such luscious ingredients topically is only one part of the process ... but its a start.  :-)
