All-in-one products have gotten a bad rap in recent years. What seemed like such a perfect idea to achieve multiple goals with less products has lost appeal in recent years and for several reasons. Not all ingredients are ideal for all persons and one formula might not perform well on every part of your body. Just like we have different hair textures, we also have different skin care needs.
Now, it may seem overwhelming with all the choices available for every skin and hair type, and while many are often overcome with the selections, others find it freeing. A wider range in products gives each of us an opportunity to find what works. That can be great most of the time, but if you are inundated with products on your bathroom counter and under the sink you almost wish for a more simplistic approach to beauty.
Are there products that can be used on your body from head to toe?
Of course! One that comes to mind quickly would be natural oils. Natural oils (essential and carrier”> have been nourishing the hair and bodies for hundreds of years. Both are used in aromatherapy and their anti-bacteria, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties can treat common skin and hair ailments like psoriasis, dandruff, eczema, and hair loss.
As easy as it would be to create or even to buy a natural oil that would do wonders for the skin and hair, sometimes something more complex or less DIY is appreciated. Many curlies love whipping up concoctions in their kitchens and by all means that is great! However, with the convenience of products popping up on the isles of our favorite department store shelves or websites makes it a simple task to find items that can be assets to our tresses and skin. Here are a few popular products that curlies enjoy using on their strands and skin!
