Honey is one of nature’s best gifts to us! Both sweet and healing, this sticky substance has uses in the kitchen, medicine cabinet and beauty drawer. Not only does honey contain antioxidants, but it also hosts vitamins and minerals - making it a valued commodity for centuries.

Bath-Add a cup of organic honey to your bath water to take advantage of honey’s great hydrating benefits

Intensify Your Deep Conditioner-Just one tablespoon added to conditioner will intensify hydration.

Anti-Aging Mask-Whisk an egg white with a spoonful of organic honey (the darker the more antioxidants) and rub unto your face. Relax for 10 minutes then gently rinse honey mask off with warm water.

Sleep-Try a spoonful of honey before bed as a natural cure to insomnia or sleepless nights.

Prevent Infection-Rub a little honey on a cut to prevent infection.

Are there any other ways that you utilize honey? Please share with the Jane Carter Solution hair community…

Children suffer from dry scalp just like adults, especially if products are being used on their hair that strips its natural oils. The fix is easy with Jane Carter Solution products:

• Mist hair and scalp with water (water = moisture)
• Spritz Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner thoroughly onto hair, starting with ends and working your way up to the top of the head
• Apply Nourish & Shine (or Scalp Nourishing Serum) to scalp to retain the moisture; if their hair is in cornrows, make sure to regularly rehydrate the hair and scalp

As women, we are bombarded with messages that we are not beautiful enough just the way we are - we should pluck, contour, lose weight, wax, exfoliate, manicure, highlight, paint, flatten, inject and dress in haute couture to be “beautiful.” Ummmm, NOT. Beauty truly is a state of mind! The greatest beauty secret of all time is simply this – our attitude towards life is reflected in our face for all to see.

“I’ve never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful.” -uknown

Our attitude towards life is reflected in our face for all to see, “broadcast” to the world through our body expressions. Over time these attitudes etch their patterns on our face and in our manner, we begin to look exactly how we think and feel. Feeling good and being around authentic, positive, people can uplift you into a sense of overall well-being that radiate for all to see. Remind yourself DAILY that every cell of your mind, body, and soul is saturated, flooded and drenched in beauty, well-being, grace and love. Repeat as necessary.
The discovery of self is ongoing. Life keeps changing and we need to keep assessing how we live our lives and what we care about. It’s about being mindful of our lives – about feeling good in our skin, which is what feeling beautiful ultimately is all about!

Hair color fading and not sure what to do with those pesky grays?!?

Gray hairs are very resistant and sometimes can be very stubborn. Unfortunately, the grays tend to return long before it’s advisable to use another commercial hair color rinse or treatment; repeated use can fry your hair making it look very damaged and unhealthy. Luckily, there are natural ways to color your hair while moisturizing and cleansing it. Commercial hair dye and color treatment products can also be expensive; making and using a natural hair coloring rinse recipe can save you money.

Here’s a recipe for a coffee rinse that will add richness and shine to brown hair. This natural color enhancer can add dimension and depth to dark, curly hair:

• 1/2 cup triple strength black coffee (cold)
• 3 tbsp non-alkanized cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup leave in conditioner

Mix all ingredients together into a glass container. Wash and conditioner hair with Hydrating Invigorating Shampoo SLS Free and Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner, apply the coffee color rinse to your hair just as you would commercial hair dye and be sure to use gloves to avoid staining your hands. Start applying the hair color rinse to your roots first since that is where most people’s most stubborn gray hair is. After applying the hair color rinse to your hair, wrap your hair in a towel and allow the hair color rinse to set for about 25 minutes. Style as usual.

Love Your Hair,
