Water is one of nature's best gifts for beauty. Not only can we wash our skin, hair and teeth with it, but it also helps us on the inside. Water flushes out waste and toxins from the body that can cause skin problems. Water also helps hydrate the skin by providing hydration to skin tissues. Drinking water helps with weight, as it has no calories and suppresses hunger. Drinking water helps prevent dehydration, which can dry out the skin and cause chapped lips. - Fruits and vegetables can help maintain health and beauty.Jupiterimages/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
A well-balanced diet is essential to maintain health and beauty. Citrus fruits can help skin by replacing collagen, which is not produced as frequently as we get older. Eating foods with garlic is beneficial, because garlic helps reduce wrinkles. Carrots are rich in Vitamin A, which can help protect skin from the damaging effects of ultraviolet light. Apples are 'nature's toothbrush' and can stimulate hair growth. - Exercise is a free way to stay young and good looking.Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images
Exercising is a natural way to preserve our looks. Thirty minutes of exercise a day keeps us slim, trim and healthy. It also helps us sleep better at night, which makes us look refreshed. Exercise helps maintain weight, and people who are overweight do not usually look or feel their best. Exercise can also keep skin firm and tight, which is especially important when dieting. Best of all, exercise is a completely free way to maintain beauty. - Sugar cubes can be used to make an exfoliating scrub.Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
There are things found in nature that can be used as beauty products. Baking soda mixed with water and a drop of peppermint oil can be used to clean teeth. Sugar can be used as a skin exfoliate by mixing a half-cup with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of any extract to add scent. (Be careful in the shower, though, as olive oil can make the tub slippery!) You can also use the scrub on the face and lips to remove dead skin. A slice of cool cucumber on each eyelid can reduce puffiness.
