If youβve been looking for beauty tips and remedies, perhaps youβve been looking for the latest and greatest chemical mixtures made up by scientists in labs, tested to perfection, and mass-produced for store shelves. Thereβs no denying that some modern products work like a charm, but instead of looking forward, why not look back for a change? There are ancient beauty techniques that have been tried and true for thousands of yearsβbeloved by both ancient civilizations and modern women for their rejuvenating effects. These tips are especially good for hijabi women who wear instant hijabs with inner caps, and who want all-natural, halal ways to improve their skin and hair health.
Β
Yoghurt and Olive Oil
The ancient Greeks loved this one, and you will too. Combine yoghurt and olive oil (and honey if you want) and lather it onto your face and hair. Use it as a quick wash, or leave it on as a mask. The lactic acid in the yoghurt cleans your pores, and the olive oil hydrates, rejuvenates, and enhances your natural facial oils. This combination helps give your skin a natural, glowing look, which is perfect for women wearingΒ scarvesΒ or shawls, ensuring you feel confident and radiant, even when fully covered.
Β
Argan Oil
Argan oil was (and is) beloved by Moroccans for its rich vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fatty acids. The makeup of argan oil is great for hair and skin. It soothes and calms your skin and is great for irritation. It also gives a remarkable shine to hair, which is perfect for those who wear a ready to wear hijab or slip on hijab withΒ under cap, as it can keep hair healthy even under the layers.
Β
Coconut Oil
Used first by Indians, and now beloved around the world, coconut oil is hydrating, moisturizes the skin and hair, and instills them with nutrients. It also leaves a wonderful shine in your hair, making it a must-have for women wearing a neutral color or plain chiffon hijab. Coconut oil also makes a wonderful, natural, irritant-free makeup remover, which is especially useful for the modern muslim woman.
Β
Sea Salt
Many cultures use sea salt products as an antiseptic, all-natural exfoliant. Sea salt scrubs are great at removing dead skin and refreshing your complexion. Regular exfoliation helps maintain glowing skin, which adds to a polished and radiant appearance, especially when wearing your black hijab, ensuring you look fresh and confident. As a muslim female, it's important to feel comfortable in your beauty routine while maintaining modesty, which makes sea salt an ideal option.
Β
Sugar Waxing
Ancient Egyptians loved a good sugar wax. They would combine sugar, lemon juice, natural oils, and molasses, let it harden on the skin, and pull it off to remove hair and dead skin. This freshens the skin, is gentler than waxing, and is less likely to cause ingrown hairs. It is also great for maintaining smooth skin when wearing aΒ printed hijab from a top hijab brand like Bokitta.
Β
Clay Masks
Clay masks are beloved around the world for their moisturizing effects. They rejuvenate and breathe new life into the skin, filling it with nutrients and leaving it smooth and supple. Dead Sea clay masks were (and are) especially highly prized. Their high salt content gives them amazing rejuvenating properties, making them perfect for refreshing and revitalizing your skin. This ensures a glowing complexion that complements instant hijab styles that frame the face, allowing you to look and feel your best.
Β
Milk Curd
Possibly the weirdest entry on this list, but if it works, it works. Ancient peoples would sometimes combine milk curd with lemon juice as a hair wash. Try it out! Soak and wash your hair in it. With repeated use, it leaves your hair silky and smooth, and it protects your hair from damage caused by wearing scarves or an instant hijab with attached inner cap. Itβs an inexpensive and effective way to achieve smooth hair.
