‘Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?’
Words of a famous witch, who wanted to be the most beautiful woman in all the land, so much that it brought her imminent doom.
Let’s not go que far.
But witches have been everywhere around us for a very long time. But their numbers seem to increase in today’s modern society.
People today accept that witches exist and some even embrace their traditions and religion.
Read on to find out how you can incorporate magic into seu beauty routine!
1. What is Wicca?
Wicca is a modern pagan religion based on natureza.
All Wiccans differ in their beliefs and practices, but they all celebrate the same solstices and equinoxes and honor the same god and goddess.
Wicca was officially ‘created’ in the 1940s by Gerald B. Gardner along with Doreen Valiente.
Wiccans don’t have a specific text they follow, apart from the Book of Shadows, written by Gerald Gardner.
Even then, they are inclined to write their own Book of Shadows, a spell book, since they can all develop their own practice that’s unique to them.
You don’t have to be a Wiccan in order to use these magical beauty tips. What you can do is draw inspiration from them and use some of them to boost your natural beauty.
2. Make potions!
Long before us, our ancestors were able to utilize natureza in ways we can’t even comprehend today. They were well-educated on nature, its seasons and what it can offer.
It’s hard for us to obtain these natural ingredients today but we must persist in this mission to revive these practices.
3. Herbs
People have been using plantas to treat illnesses since the beginning of time. Plants and herbs have many healing properties, so normally, you could incorporate them into your beauty routine!
But beware, if you are trying them on your face, please test them out primeiro.
Here are some herbs you can swirl around in your cauldron:
- Lavanda is widespread in many teas and skincare products for a reason. Because of its calming effects, it’s ideal to put in your bath or in a small bag under your pillow.
- Sálvia is a great antioxidant, but you may already know that it’s great for cleansing spaces, so it makes sense that it’s able to cleanse our bodies as well. It’s good for reducing skin irritation and when paired with rosemary, they make a wonderful toothpaste!
- Camomila is another popular calming herb. Apart from that, it also has restorative and repairing qualities, making it a great skincare ingredient.
- Alecrim has anti-inflammatory properties, helping with the skin’s aging process and rejuvenation.
4. Crystals
We use crystals in a myriad of ways, from warding off bad energies and spirits, to enhancing our traits. But did you know you can use crystals in your beauty routine as well?
‘How‘, you may ask? Well, it’s pretty simple. Firstly, you pick out a stone you want to use. Preferably stones like amethyst, quartz ou citrine. Then, cleanse and charge your crystal.
Later on put them in a container with water in it, and let them sit for a couple of hours. And you’ll be free to use your crystal-infused water!
But be careful which crystal you choose. Some of them can hold toxic materials which will definitely não benefit you or your skin!
5. Oils
You can use oils in two types of ways, either as perfume ou como a moisturizer.
When using oils as perfume, you only need a few drops of essential oil. But beware, they will make you smell like a goddess and people will be fawning over you.
You may try lavender, vanilla or even sandalwood!
When using oils as moisturizers, put a few drops on your face and body. If you’re looking to rock a natural look or repair your skin, oils are the go-to!
Pode tentar rose hip oil e hemp oil.
6. Bewitching Baths
To your bath, add some essential oils ou cristais, depending on what you want to work on or what your end goal is with this ritual.
If you want to calm yourself after a long day and regenerate your body, then use things like lavender, rose ou camomila.
And if you want to energize yourself, then use things like sandalwood, peppermint ou canela.
7. Ghostly Masks
You can buy face masks at the store, but nothing can beat homemade face masks!
With all-natural ingredients, these homemade masks will make you feel and look amazing.
You may try using green tea, honey, coffee and even turmeric to make yourself some face masks. All of these ingredients benefit your skin greatly.
8. Mystical Mists
We already said that you can make crystal-infused water but you can also add ingredients such as lavender or rose to your water to make wonderful face sprays and tonics.
9. Supernatural Face Rollers
Again, this is a great opportunity to utilize crystals. Stones such as jade or quartz are perfect for use on your face.
They don’t really have any downsides and you can use them twice a day to soothe your skin.
Be sure to clean them regularly and it may be a good idea to use an oil or moisturizer before you roll away!
