My Beauty Routine - Oil Pulling and More Discussed in the Latest Coffee Talk Video!

Fashion & Beauty | July 21, 2015

OIl_pulling_beuty_rituals

 

I get a lot of questions from people asking what I do for beauty routines and so I did a short video demonstrating some of my habits and things I’ve tried recently.  I had a good laugh shooting this so I hope you like it too 🙂

 

I’ve read comments from you guys asking if I’ve ever heard about or done Oil Pulling and the answer is yes, I’ve been doing it for a while and I think it’s great. If you haven’t done it yet you should try it.  You’re going to want to do it consistently for at least 10 days to really see and feel a difference I think.  I get compliments about how healthy my gums look and I attribute it to this routine.

 

 
 

Oil Pulling – just 15-20 minutes a day (while you’re watching tv or reading).  When you’re done spit it in your garbage (won’t clog your sink).
Benefits of oil pulling 

  • Gets rid of plaque and bad bacteria in your mouth
  • Helps with stinky breath
  • Inflammation in your gums
*you can use any kind of healthy oil – I like coconut oil because it has a pleasant tastes best and contains  lauric acid that has antibacterial properties!
 
Thrive Market is doing a promo right now where new customers can get a free 15 oz jar of jar of coconut oil.  All you can to do it pay $1.95 shipping (you also get a free 30-day membership and a $15 gift card towards a future purchase).  If you’re already a member though don’t worry because existing members can just receive 10% off and get a new jar of coconut oil for super cheap still.

 

Gentle Exfoliation – I use a soft facial brush to gently scrub my face every day. (mine is vitagoods)
Benefits of facial exfoliation 

  • Helps shrink pores
  • Gets rid of blackheads
  • Improved blood circulation

 

Mud mask – I do this about twice a week (the one I like is ellavage). Cover your face, let it dry for about 10 minutes then rinse with warm water

Benefits of the detoxifying mask
  • Contains vitamins, minerals, fatty and amino acids
  • Helps soften skin to give it a more youthful appearance
  • Contains acai extract that helps even out skin tones

 

Botanical wraps – watch the video to watch how my experience went.  It was fun to do and smelled really good, it left my skin feeling smooth and hydrated but truthfully I don’t believe it does anything for changing your body composition. If you want to check it out yourself, these are the wraps I used.

    Zuzka, I’m curious about supplements and vitamins you use and if you have changed anything since starting the ketogenic diet?

      Sure! I go to get my hair done every 5 months to my buddy Jesse German and he takes care of it 🙂 I have no idea what color he uses, but I’ll ask him the next time I go for my tune up. It’s coming up in September.

    Ha ha, i just loved that video and showed my 11 year old daughter as she loves you too! Jesse at the end made me laugh!

    I tried oil pulling last year but used olive oil rather than coconut oil….i may try the oil pulling technique again using coconut oil as i did enjoy doing it!
