My Beauty Routine - Oil Pulling and More Discussed in the Latest Coffee Talk Video!
Fashion & Beauty | July 21, 2015
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. Â You’re going to want to do it consistently for at least 10 days to really see and feel a difference I think. Â 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). Â 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
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 –Â 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
- 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.

I think that its great that you do oil pulling. I am a dental hygienist and I have had a few patients who actually practice oil pulling daily and I have seen a huge improvement in their oral health. I now tell patients to give it a try. I love coconut oil and think the health benefits of it are wonderful.

Loved this video, you are hilarious Zuzka! 🙂 Plus great beauty tips. I’ve also done the oil pulling, great for whitening the teeth as well. I haven’t tried the exfoliating brush before, but I have always wanted to. Gonna have to get me one of those bad boys!

I was in stitches at the end of the video hahaha! You’re so much fun :D.
I always have coconut oil about and decided to try oil pulling thing morning, it was disgusting at first but I soon got used to it and kind of liked it. Will definitely try doing this every morning.
How is your clothing line going Zuzka? I really want to have some sports wear screaming Warriorz! Hope you’ll have some tank tops and t-shirts like that again. 🙂

I don’t have many beauty rituals, but some staples I love are Pond’s cold cream, St. Ive’s apricot scrub (the original one), and coconut oil for hair. I am cheap when it comes to beauty rituals… Haha. Coconut oil is just excellent all around, it makes a great facial treatment as well.

And just to add, I think the best beauty ritual is to get daily exercise, eat fruits and vegetables, and to live happily, smile, and get some sunshine!
