Star Anise is a versatile spice with a variety of health benefits, including its ability to improve hair and skin health. This star-shaped spice is packed with antioxidants, which help to fight free radicals that can damage hair and skin cells, leading to premature aging and hair loss. It is also rich in Vitamin C, which is essential for collagen production, giving skin its elasticity and helping to keep hair strong and healthy. Incorporating Star Anise into your beauty routine can help to promote healthy hair growth, reduce the signs of aging, and soothe skin irritations.

Star Anise has a number of diverse applications in beauty, health and wellness. When it comes to hair care, Star Anise can be added to hair oils or brewed into a tea and used as a rinse for your hair after shampooing. This strengthens the hair, promotes hair growth, reduces hair fall, and improves scalp health. It can also be added to shampoos and conditioners to reduce dandruff and add shine to the hair.

In terms of skin care, Star Anise can be added to face masks to reduce inflammation, improve skin texture, and promote a glowing complexion. Adding Star Anise to soaps and toners helps prevent acne and other skin infections, reduces pore size and improves skin elasticity. You can also make a facial steam with Star Anise by adding it to a bowl of hot water and covering your head with a towel to allow the steam to penetrate your skin.

The idea of creating my own natural products was very overwhelming at first. I didn't know where to start, but they make it easy. I bought a few oils and butters and just followed the recipes that they gave. This process changed my life! These products make my hair and my skin feel great! And my soul feels great because I know that they're natural and they're good for me. I've gotten my daughter involved and we have a blast creating things together. I didn't expect this process to be so fun and rewarding. Thank you Mina!!! ❤️

Creating a hair growth oil using ashwagandha oil was incredibly easy. I just added equal parts ashwagandha, castor, argan and almond. It's a little heavy for me, but I only leave it on for 30 minutes before I shampoo my hair. I created it as a growth oil, but I love how soft yet strong it makes my hair feel.

I made that Almond Oil Dandruff Remedy that they have listed, and it legit worked! I've been buying blue shampoo for years, and it seems like it was causing more dandruff ☹️. The raw beauty dandruff remedy is legit though. 🔥🔥🔥

This is not the same oil that's at the beauty supply store. It looks different. It smells different. It feels different. My hair has NEVER felt this good! It makes me wonder what I've been buying from the beauty supply store all these years, bc it's certainly not pure oil. I love raw beauty products though. They're official!

Who knew that it was so easy to make your own stuff at home? If you're new to making your own products, it's a good idea to start with simple recipes and gradually work your way up to more complex formulas. That's what I've been doing. I started with the Rose Sugar Scrub. That was the very first product that I made. I'm trying to work my way up to creating a conditioner. I love that Mina helps us along the way. 5 stars!

That Almond Oil with Lemon Essential Oil... Game changer bro! I've been using it 2-3 times a week for a little over a month and my dark spots are fading like crazy. I highly recommend that anyone who wants a more even skin tone use that blend. It was really easy to make.
