Beauty Tips Revealed & Winner Announced

Beauty Tips Revealed & Winner Announced

Those adorable furry paws belong to Miss Nellers! I’m delighted to share that after receiving over 180 entries for the Green Beaver products giveaway, we have a winner: Kim! She submitted her entry on April 26th:

“I stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and keeping active. I open my fridge not just for food but for natural skincare ingredients too! Sometimes I combine plain yogurt with coarse sugar for a refreshing facial scrub. Once a week, I treat my face with a ripe avocado as a hydrating mask. I also add milk and honey to my bath, and use the aloe gel from my plant for a facial mask weekly. All these methods leave my skin feeling fantastic without spending a fortune on chemical-laden products!”

Congratulations, Kim! I loved diving into all your responses and learning your beauty secrets—coconut oil, my favorite, topped the list for its versatility in everything from moisturizing hair to removing eye makeup. Plus, it’s delicious!

Here are some of the other comments I wanted to share. Thank you to everyone who participated! Don’t forget to sign up with your email for my weekly “dose of joy” e-newsletter for news about future giveaways, joyful updates, and health tips to brighten your life:

Amy: What works for me is water, sleep, avoiding sugar and alcohol, and treating yourself to a facial occasionally to boost your glow!

Melissa: I use coconut oil as a moisturizer for my face at night. By morning, my fine lines seem smoother thanks to all the moisture. It works wonders as a hair conditioner too. I learned about its benefits from your site, Joy!

Maya: After spending too much on skincare, I discovered simple and affordable solutions are best: coconut oil for moisture, tea tree oil for breakouts, and baby butt paste for irritations. Healthy skin starts with what you eat!

Tara Frey-Durston: Hi Joy! I love your blog, especially the video entries! My “Green Beauty Secret,” not so secret now, thanks to shared comments, is using coconut oil for everything. Living in harsh climates, it’s my go-to for restoring shine to my hair and skin, both topically and internally.

Kelly: Smiling can change everything, inside and out. Genuine smiles release beautifying endorphins, which are contagious!

Katie: My beauty secret is being mindful of what you consume and apply on your skin. Just like food, products affect you. I enjoy using coconut oil, turmeric, and avocado for skin and cooking. Foods like daikon radish, burdock root, and kombucha enhance beauty from within.

Tricia: I keep it simple with honey, sometimes mixed with castile lavender soap. For facials, I use eggs, avocado, and honey.

Jen: Drinking ample water, sleeping enough, eating clean, and exercising naturally leads to a glowing complexion!

Megan: Lavender oil is a staple for me; it’s safe for direct skin application. I also incorporate it into homemade bath bombs and use a lavender eye pillow to relax before sleep, ensuring beauty sleep.

Brena: My top beauty secret—smiling!

Tracy: My beauty routine includes hydrating green drinks and applying coconut oil to the driest areas. Works fabulously!
