Being eco-conscious doesn’t mean that you can’t be beautiful. Some of the world’s most recognizable people in the world know this already — there is such a thing as organic beauty.

Going “green” in terms of beauty means lessening the use of products with harmful ingredients. While you may think doing this would make you look like a zombie, recognizable faces such as Angelina Jolie or Cameron Diaz seem to prove otherwise.

Naturally healthy hair — while you aren’t torturing your hair with product, it produces a natural oil that gives it a unique sheen and softness, and, according to studies, it might reduce the amount of ozone you breathe in.

Natural Deodorant - The bad thing about store-bought deodorants/anti-perspirants is that they contain harsh chemicals. The solution? Baking soda. Sprinkle a tad to a damp washcloth and apply it on your underarms — it should neutralize the smell and keep you cool all day!

Homemade Facials - Recognizable people like stars need to look beautiful all the time — you could, too — using honey, oatmeal, bananas and other household materials can make you a homemade facial treatment!

An instant glimpse, and the culture is instantaneously transmuted into a language that everyone just simply has to identify with — art.

Here’s my top ten.
