For dry, chapped lips – Put a little coconut oil in your navel and follow it with some on your lips. Do this 2-3x a day for a few days and watch the improvement unfold! No more chapped lips! Bottom line: Coconut oil is not only good for consuming but excellent for improving your skin’s suppleness!
My favorite natural product for 2011 – by far is Silver Shield with Aqua SolTechnology. We picked up the cosmetic gel from a local herb cottage when we were looking for a safe, natural antibiotic. We removed the neosporins and alike from our medicine cabinet and needed a suitable replacement. This is it!! Perhaps costly as compared to the alternatives but wins in the faster healing process, it is safe – no harmful ingredients and backed by research (no bad reports)...just to name a few of the benefits. After talking to a friend about this product, she told me that her family consumes the silver shield liquid version in their water and that she gives her 2 year old the product by a medicine dropper daily. The next time I went to the cottage I purchased the liquid and started adding a capful to .75l of water daily.
The second runner up (a very close first) - Arnica Gel. We use this for bumps and bruises and it also helps with muscle soreness. It comes in a tube that costs about $8. It seems to last awhile! A little goes a long way.
My favorite new membership for 2011 – Nature’s Sunshine membership is free with your first $40 purchase and thereafter you receive 20% off for every purchase that is at least $40. Purchasing the two silver shield products qualifies you for the discount each and every time. They have many other great products. (I am not affiliated with them.) Besides I don't know what happens after the first year. I haven't gotten that far yet. But, for right now - I'm happily taking the discounts for two products that have helped my family heal faster.
