5 helpful natural home & beauty products every woman should have on hand

Sure, you could go out and buy chemical-y household cleaners, or the latest and greatest (and often very expensive) facial treatments. Or, you could stock up on a few natural home and beauty products, which, in most instances, will do the trick in a healthier, cheaper way.

Natural products can even save you when you’re in a jam, especially if you know all the uses for them. Having natural products on hand is helpful, whether you’re trying to live a more natural lifestyle or you ran out of your usual cleaning spray and need a substitute in a pinch. Because hey, maybe you don’t want to wash your clothes with tea tree oil every day, but it’s nice to know you can.

1. 1. 1. tea tree oil – Tea tree oil is great to have on hand as a natural acne treatment. But it can do so much more. This potent product will help get rid of almost any fungal infection, making it a great go-to for athlete’s foot and even ringworm. It can also fight dandruff, heal dry skin, and even freshen your laundry.
2. 1. 1. coconut oil – By now, you’ve probably heard all about the many benefits of coconut oil. But just in case you needed a friendly reminder, here’s that info again. You can use coconut oil as a makeup remover. It also makes an excellent body moisturizer, hair mask, chap stick, and can even be added (quite deliciously) to coffee and smoothies.
3. 1. 1. natural deodorant – If the thought of swapping out your go-to antiperspirant for an all-natural version makes you perspire in and of itself, take a breath. Antiperspirants, which are classified as over-the-counter drugs, inhibit a normal bodily function, example – sweating – using their active ingredient, aluminum salts. On the other hand, natural deodorants are typically made without aluminum. They’re designed to keep you smelling fresh for hours on end with bacteria-sopping ingredients, including familiar favorites like baking soda. So, yes, you may still sweat a bit after swiping on your favorite aluminum-free formula (because, again, deodorant doesn’t equal antiperspirant), but no, you shouldn’t smell sour after going green.
4. 1. 1. FemiClear – As women, our vaginal health is an important part of our overall well-being, and contrary to popular belief, talking about your vaginal health doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. In fact, we all experience issues down there from time to time, and it’s almost always completely and totally normal. FemiClear is here to help with a product that both treats vaginal yeast infections and gives you the confidence to be your best self. This will be my first choice when looking for something to help a yeast infection.
5. 1. 1. apple cider vinegar – OK, if you’ve yet to add apple cider vinegar to your life, now’s the time to do it. Apple cider vinegar is antimicrobial, antibacterial and antiseptic, helping to balance pH. It can be used as to clear skin from bacteria, and buildup from hair.

Whether you are cleaning your house or using these products for yourself, they are all natural.  I feel like we should be moving toward all natural and cut out the chemicals. Let’s make a healthier lifestyle for yourself.
