10 Best Organic Oils For Beautiful Skin And Hair

1. Sweet almond oil

This oil possesses high vitamin content, including vitamins A and E, as well as several of the B vitamins. Sweet almond oil hydrates the skin, replenishing lost moisture and soothing any mild skin irritation you may have. It also possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it an effective topical ointment for certain skin irritations, such as eczema and bruises, as well as dry skin.

2. Tea tree oil


If you suffer from acne, this oil will help solve your problem. Because this oil can kill bacteria, applying a 5 percent tea tree oil treatment daily will get rid of any pimples and acne, as well as prevent acne scarring.

3. Jojoba oil

This oil stands out from all the others for a reason: Jojoba oil is the only oil that closely resembles human sebum, an oily substance naturally produced by the oil glands below the skin surface, so its uses and benefits to the skin and hair are high. Therefore, women with oily skin and dry scalps benefit the most from this oil, which helps regulate the epidermis' natural production of oil. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, it also assists in healing wounds, treats skin infections and other skin afflictions, and even slows the aging of skin. It also reduces skin inflammation and fights acne.

4. Argan oil

Rich with vitamin A, E, antioxidants, omega-6 fatty acids, and linoleum acid, this oil is great for promoting healthy, beautiful skin, hair, and nails. It's non-greasy, non-irritating, and easily observable, making for an excellent natural moisturizer.

5. Coconut oil

There's a reason why there's such a craze over this oil in the beauty and health world, as well as its title as a "miracle oil." High in saturated fats, capric, caprylic, and lauric acid, proteins, and vitamin E, this anti-bacterial oil treats acne, dry skin, dandruff, stretch marks, dark circles, prevents wrinkles, and makes for an excellent moisturizer. Coconut oil also works great as a makeup remover, sunscreen, leave-in hair conditioner, and whitening toothpaste. Yes, you read that right. So add this amazing oil to your list of must-haves.

6. Grapeseed oil

This oil is a natural astringent. It contains linoleic acid, which has healing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a great treatment for acne-prone skin.

7. Rosehip seed oil

This oil is full of vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids that are known to correct dark spots and hydrate dry, itchy skin, all while reducing scars and fine lines. Because it contains vitamin C and lycopene to rejuvenate skin and help maintain elasticity, it makes for a great remedy for stretch marks. If you're an expectant mother, this one is for you.

8. Chamomile oil

The main component of this oil is azulene, which helps calm the skin. It's key for treating psoriasis, spider veins, acne scars, eczema, and sunburns.

9. Olive oil


Besides making for an excellent cooking oil and salad dressing, this oil has been used as a beauty treatment for centuries. This antioxidant rich oil makes for an excellent moisturizer, improves skin elasticity, fights free radicals, and facilitates skin healing, while reducing under-eye wrinkles, treating dry, flaky scalp or dandruff, and frizzy hair or split ends.

10. Avocado oil

This oil comes with an assortment of vitamins and nutrients, which make for an excellent moisturizer for dry, sensitive skin. Rubbing down with this oil gives you the same omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants that you get from eating this yummy fruit.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
