Want a salon look for a fraction of the price? Try this at-home trick to get ultra-sexy beach hair. Fill a spray bottle with about 3 ounces water and add 3 teaspoons kosher or sea salt and a couple squirts of any hair gel, then shake it up. Spray it onto hair and scrunch to get that tousled beach look. The coarse salt clings to your strands and gives it sexy texture and volume.

Just because you can’t pronounce an ingredient that is included in your lotions doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad thing.  Case in point …Butyrospermum Parkii.  Sounds scary, doesn’t it?  It’s the formal name for Shea Butter, an ingredient extremely beneficial for your skin.  How about Tocopherol?  Sound like a chemical?  It’s not, it’s Vitamin E.  Ascorbic Acid, that certainly can’t be good for your skin.  Wrong again.  Ascorbic Acid is Vitamin C. 

 So just because you can’t pronounce an ingredient on a label doesn’t mean it’s not good for you.  Educate yourself (of which you doing are by reading this!) and become familiar with ingredients and their formal names.  Since your skin absorbs up to 94% of what’s put on it (and processes through your body, into your liver), you should know what what you are putting on it. 
 
Conversely, if you see the word Paraben on a label …walk away.  Parabens = Bad.  For more on Parabens and other toxins, visit out website.
