Use the peels in our beauty routine

Hello everyone, I hope you are well. Today I'm back with you for a new article. As you know, using natural products, products found in your kitchen, is a timeless trend. To stay healthy you need to eat 5 fruits and vegetables a day, but what happens to the peels of these consumed fruits🤔? To avoid waste while getting a makeover 😌, I bring you some benefits of certain peels from our daily life for general health. 

Nature has everything we need for our well-being. With evolution, we are quickly replacing the so-called “archaic” tips of our grandmothers for more “modern and efficient” solutions. Are they really? Full of chemicals, these solutions are often harmful in the long term. In this article, find a natural and effective alternative with the peels of our fruits.

Yes, onions don’t just add flavor to our dishes! Well before I continue, have you ever wondered about the health benefits of onions 🤔? I assure you that, for me, it was while writing this article that I asked myself the question 😅. But hey, it's never too late to learn 😇. Onion has many health benefits. It contains vitamin C which fights against oxidative stress. It contributes to the health of gums and teeth, regulates cholesterol levels, maintains heart health, helps fight helicobacter pylori, promotes good digestion. The peelings, for their part, fight water retention, help burn fat, eliminate toxins. 

For the skin, the peel of an onion can help keep it young and provide a fresh complexion. It is rich in quercetin and flavonoids, two elements that fight inflammation. It can therefore help relieve acne. In addition, it contains sulfur which is a mineral with anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. It also helps to regulate excess sebum, protects against external aggressions, promotes the production of collagen, helps with healing and cleanses. A real skin treat 😁! 

On hair it stimulates growth, fights against hair loss, strengthens, gives shine, soothes the skin, eliminates dandruff and limits the appearance of white hair. 

You can use the peels as a final water for your hair, in masks, reduce them to powder or herbal tea to benefit from the aforementioned benefits ☺️. 

To quote Antoine de Lavoisier, mathematician and chemist from the 18th century, “nothing is lost, everything is transformed”, certainly he was talking about his scientific theories and experiments 😅, but we can apply it to our care (hair or skin) in order to maximize our objectives (as well as our wallet 😁). Before throwing away the peelings and bark of your products, take a look on the web to make sure that they cannot be used for other purposes. Because the products you use, whether in powders, in oils (vegetable or essential), as an ingredient for your cooking/pastry, for your herbal teas/herbal teas, they may contain peels that you didn't even suspect 😅. 

That's all for this article, I hope you liked it and that you enjoyed discovering how to recycle your peels. Remember that to use them in your DIY, your products must be ORGANIC and that you should always consult your doctor before starting a treatment if you suffer from certain illnesses that I mentioned in this article. As usual, I am waiting for your feedback and opinions in the comments or on the blog's networks. I will see you very soon for a new article, until then, take care of yourself ❤️.

See you soon 💋
