Herbal cures for late-summer beauty bothers

Applied topically, these fresh-picked gems repair the damage the season's elements cause to skin and hair for a young, radiant you, fast!

Reverse thinning hair with rosemary

The herb’s unique acids increase circulation to the scalp, delivering hair growth–encouraging nutrients to follicles for a fuller mane over time.

■ TRY IT! Simmer 1 Tbs. of fresh rosemary leaves and 1 cup of water in a saucepan for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and steep until cool. Strain liquid into a spray bottle and mist on scalp before bed nightly; rub into the scalp with fingertips. Store in the fridge for 7 days.

Fade wrinkles with basil

The same compound that gives basil its green color also stimulates skin-firming collagen production. And pairing it with hydrating coconut oil helps “fill in” creases to speed results.
