5 BENEFITS OF AVOCADO BUTTER

Hello Nature lovers,
How glorious is it to be alive today? I am glad to be here, hope you are too.
Listen! I know from personal experience how great Raw Shea Butter is, but I also know that it could be sometimes tricky to work with. So I thought maybe we should point out an alternative for those who can't get past these difficulties.
My choice will be AVOCADO BUTTER

5 BENEFITS OF AVOCADO BUTTER

  1. Avocado Butter moisturizes damaged skin caused by sun or wind, and general chapping. 
  2. Raw Avocado Butter can be a little heavy and greasy but it exhibits good spread-ability on the skin, making it ideal, in small quantity, as a Massage Butter or body balm, and it can be added to soap, creams, lotions, lip balms, body butters, hair pomades, bath bombs and more.
  3. Avocado Butter provides excellent moisture for dry or damaged skin
  4. This butter is rich in vitamins and amino acids
  5. Avocado Butter is a very good alternative to Shea butter.
Please feel free to tell us more about Avocado Butter, your contribution is valuable.

NATURAL SOLUTIONS TO DARK CIRCLES AROUND EYE AREA.

Almond nuts as skin lightening agent
ALMOND NUTS
Keeping it simple and natural is my motto in everything I do, especially when it comes to make-ups. I am not a fan of heavily made-up face. I wear the barest minimum and to be able to do that your skin needs to be almost perfect. With a little bit of effort, it is achievable.

With flawless skin your need for heavy make-ups will be greatly reduced, so will be the stress of make-up application. Think about it; you’ll spend less time getting ready in the morning. You won’t have to keep dashing to the ladies to touch up your make-up every so often. You’ll have no worries of your clothes getting stained from the different colours on your face. And you can get into bed at night without the hassle of scraping make-ups off your face.
Okay, I know we all have our facial imperfections and hiding them seems the easiest option. But some skin problems are better treated than hidden. Take the shadows under the eyes (that dark circle surrounding the eye area) for example. This is a popular reason why many ladies wear concealers as part of their make-up routine. But it conceals, like the name suggests, not clear the dark shadows.

If you really want to get rid of those dark circles, first you need to stop these habits: 
  1. Not sleeping enough (Try to get at least 7 hours of sleep at night)
  2. Exposing your skin to the sun (Sun is good for you but use Moisturizers with good SPF)
  3. Not drinking enough water (Drink lots of water for great skin and good health)
  4. Bad diets (Get all the necessary vitamins and nutrients by eating a balanced diet)
  5. Rubbing eyes (Absolute no-no. Try to cure whatever is making you rub your eyes)

The above mentioned habits are basically to prevent Dark circle around the eyes, but how do you clear the dark circles you already have? My answer is DO IT THE NATURAL WAY.

There are many amazing natural Ingredients you can use to clear dark shadows and other skin discolorations, here are some:
Aloe Vera Gel of Ruka's Place
ALOE VERA GEL
Sweet Almond Oil- This delicate oil has skin lightening properties. Gently use your index finger to dab Sweet Almond Oil around the eye area twice daily. The shadows will gradually fade.

Instant Pearl Powder- Used by women in Asia for centuries for skin whitening. Instant Pearl Powder stops aging process by fighting free radicals on the skin. Use by itself, mix with water, or milk, or raw egg, and apply to eye area for dramatic fading of dark circles.

Turmeric powder- This spice is an antioxidant, popular among the Southeast Asians for Skin brightening. Get your hands on some and mix with yoghurt or buttermilk and apply to your eye area.

Aloe Vera Gel- Hydrates and heals skin. A good way is to mix  Aloe vera Gel with any of the other ingredients for amazing treatment of your eye area.

Green Tea- It contains huge amount of Vitamin C which helps in fighting many skin discoloration and helps lightening of the skin.
Camwood Powder from Ruka's Place
CAMWOOD POWDER

LEMON FRUITS
Ruka's Place Castor Oil
RUKA'S PLACE CASTOR OIL
Camwood Powder- This African herb treats many skin problems, dark spot happens to be one of them. Make a face mud by mixing  Camwood Powder with Rosewater and use on the eye area twice daily.

Potatoes- Treating your skin with this will stimulate collagen and elastin because Potatoes contains many Vitamins and nutrients for making your skin glow. Grate peeled potatoes, mash them and apply to the affected area.

Cucumber- Like the potatoes, cucumber is also full of nutrients and antioxidant necessary for skin lightening. To use on eye area follow same method as the potatoes or mix with the potatoes for stronger force.

Lemon- Many swear by this, myself included, that application of the juice of lemon to the dark areas works. Use by itself or mix with any of the other ingredients.

Castor Oil- A natural rich emollient, with amazing ability to penetrate the outer layer of the epidermis. Regular use of Castor Oil in your skincare routine will help fade dark spots.
You can mix two or more of these ingredients together or use one at a time to determine the potency and find the one that works best for you.

There are so many more, just do a little bit of digging and you’ll uncover a world of treasure of ingredients for natural beauty.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR NATURAL SKINCARE IN IRELAND?

Then may I be bold and suggest you make it yourself? Hold on a minute; don’t shake your head yet. There are so many benefits in doing so.
I am all about Natural Beauty.
Making your skincare products right in your own kitchen is not that difficult, just log on to rukasplace to get your Raw Ingredients and Recipes, and you are good to go. In less than 10 minutes you can have a really safe and completely natural skincare product in your hands. To make it even easier there are millions of Natural skincare recipes on the internet, especially on YouTube.



List of Categories of Beauty Ingredients available at Ruka's Place
Ireland's Beauty Ingredients store

Are you aware that making your own natural skincare products is cheaper than buying? It is my darling. So you will not only get the many benefits by making it yourself but you also get to save some money. I don’t know about you but I have absolutely no problem in saving some extra coins.


The skincare products market is getting really huge, especially the natural and organic skincare products, they are expensive. But most of us don’t mind if they can deliver what they promised. I am telling you today that you don’t need to spend that much money, just make it yourself. It works.
I know for certain that there are some ingredients that are natural but some skin may not like them. That is another advantage of making your own skincare products, instead of standing at beauty stores checking the list of ingredients, some you may not even understand. Why not make yours with ingredients you know and happy with? Saves time and headaches.
DIY Whipped Shea Butter ( Amazing Moisturizer)


Many people are suffering from some skin problems that are caused by harmful ingredients in their skincare products. The skin is the largest organ in our body; shouldn't we treat it with more respect? Many products deliver result but at what expense? Damaging your body in the process, so you treat small issue to generate bigger ones? All that is unnecessary if you make your skincare products yourself. You will get flawless skin at no expense to your general well-being.

Making it yourself also means absolutely no need to worry about preservatives. For example raw cocoa butter will last for years, so if you mix with Almond oil, it will last for years also. This mixture maybe too hard for some, so they may introduce water based ingredients like Aloe Vera juice. Immediately this is introduced the mixture’s days are numbered. My solution to this is to make as little quantity as possible, probably quantity to last you for maybe 2 weeks. 
HOMEMADE Camwood Body Scrub
I still get a high when I see people’s faces as soon as I present them with my skincare products as gifts. The genuine pleasure on their faces is a joy to watch. Especially when they go ‘You made this for me?’ it is amazing. You won’t understand until you try it. Please do.

Don’t forget your joy is not limited to how people feel when they receive the skincare gifts from you. But your own pride in seeing what you made. It is exhilarating.

Finally one of the most important joy of making your own skincare products is the chance of you stumbling upon a recipe that might change the world (skincare world) Many have done it, so why not you? It might be your key to financial freedom, an opportunity to become your own boss. Remember that saying ‘Necessity is the father of invention’.

Go out there and invent my hearties!!!!!!

1 medium egg

How- Get yourself a small bowl and mix ½ teaspoon of Pearl Powder with the egg. Clean your face thoroughly and apply, leave on for about 30 minutes, then rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water. Do this at least twice a week.
OR
Substitute the egg white with milk and form paste. And basically do same thing.

2-MID-AGERS - Anti- aging Pearl Powder Mask

The problems here are numerous; Age spots, Wrinkles, Dark circle around eyes, Acne, Blemishes, Sun damages, ah! The list is endless.

You’ll need
Pearl Powder (I trust you’ll be careful where you get it from)
Aloe Vera juice
Camwood Powder (optional but highly recommended)
Witch Hazel

How- Mix ½ teaspoon of Pearl Powder with 1 teaspoon of Aloe Vera juice and 1 teaspoon of Witch Hazel. Please if you are going to add camwood Powder (a pinch is more than enough) increase the aloe Vera juice to form a slightly thick mixture. Apply to a clean make-up free face and neck and leave for twenty minutes, wash off with warm water.

3-OLDIES-Moisturizing Pearl Powder Mask 
 Dryness, Age spots, Wrinkles, Sagging skin, etc.

4 ESSENTIAL RAW BODY BUTTERS

Hi Everyone,
I just want to quickly tell you about these 4 must have Raw Body Butters. They are great ingredients to have when making your Skincare and Haircare Products. Enjoy.

RAW SHEA BUTTER



RAW SHEA BUTTER-www.rukasplace.com


Organic Shea Butter is known for its skin softening and moisture retaining ability.  Raw Shea Butter is also known for its benefits in promoting healthy hair and scalp. 

Thinking of Homemade Body Butter the first ingredient that comes to mind will most likely be Shea Butter, before considering the oil to add, flavour, fragrance and so on.

Most Natural skincare products use Raw Shea Butter as a base; making Shea Butter an essential ingredient in a lot of DIY skincare products.

We will talk more later on this Butter.



RAW MANGO BUTTER

MANGO BUTTER-www.rukasplace.com


Raw Mango butter is also very useful in Homemade skincare products; it has a high level of unsaponifiable fats and is also high in antioxidants. 

A good Raw Body Butter for DIY Hair-care products because of its high level of fats and emolliency.

It is very similar to Cocoa Butter because it has a high content of Stearic Acid.

Many people prefer this Natural Body Butter to Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter because it is softer in texture and easy to mix when making products.

  



RAW COCOA BUTTER

RAW COCOA BUTTER- www.rukasplace.com



Raw Cocoa Butter is one of the most stable fats known, a wonderful Natural Body Butter to use as a base in making DIY Beauty Products.

Cocoa Butter is essential because it contains natural antioxidants that prevent rancidity, apart from its numerous benefits to the skin.




.


RAW AVOCADO BUTTER

RAW AVOCADO BUTTER-www.rukasplace.com

Raw Avocado butter is very effective in soap making and skin-care products. Very essential when making Home-made face creams, Natural anti-aging Products, DIY Sunscreen Remedies.
This Raw Body Butter is a little heavy and greasy but a little go a long way as it has good spread- ability on the skin. Avocado Butter moisturizes damaged skin caused by sun or wind, and general chapping. 

Raw Avocado Butter is a good alternative to Shea Butter as it is softer and without the strong earthy aroma of Unrefined Shea Butter.
