Oil pulling 
Oil pulling is a 3,000-year-old Indian folk remedy that was discovered by chance. A gentler alternative to teeth whitening, it removes toxins and improves oral hygiene by fighting-off bacteria that causes teeth to stain. 
Steps: The method involves&nbsp;swishing an oil in your mouth, coconut oil is gaining ground, for 15-20 minutes and then spitting it. The logic is that the oil sticks to the oil in the membranes of bacteria &#8211; so, when you spit it out, you&#8217;re also naturally cleansing your mouth of the bad guys.
Apple cider vinegar 
Apple cider vinegar is a known disinfectant that has been used for centuries. The main active ingredient is acetic acid, which is effective in killing bacteria, which helps counteract and prevent future staining. Though it should be used in modest amounts as its acidic properties can, overtime, cause damage to the surface and structure of the teeth. 
Steps: Mix two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar with six ounces of water, then swish the solution for 30 seconds before rinsing with water and complete by brushing your teeth.
Baking powder 
This staple baking product does more than raise your bread. It is also popularly used for teeth cleaning and whitening. It contains anti-bacterial properties that help clean the teeth, though it wouldn&#8217;t help to protect them against cavities as much as fluoride would in toothpaste. 
Steps: Mix a tablespoon of baking soda with water to form a thick paste and use it to brush your teeth.
Activated charcoal powder 
Activated charcoal can absorb surface stains to some degree and improve bad breath, though daily use can cause tooth sensitivity due to its mildly abrasive properties. 
Steps: Activated charcoal can be purchased in powder or capsule form. It&#8217;s available over-the-counter or at your dentist&#8217;s to mix with water to form a paste.

A highlight at the bakery is the chocolate strawberry tart made with 70 percent single-origin chocolate from São Tomé, cashews and oats.

It can be a bit scary to imagine that many cosmetic products are comprised of different chemicals that have the potential of causing more harm than good. Though the minute amounts of chemicals used to produce skincare products are legal and safe. they can still cause some visible side effects, especially to those with sensitive skin.
Here are some of the most common ingredients in skincare products which are best to avoid:

<h3>2. Parabens</h3>
Two common anti-bacterial preservatives used in many skincare products. There have been recent findings of Parabens in breast tumours.
<h3>3. Formaldehyde</h3>
Similar to Parabens, Formaldehyde is an ingredient used as a preservative in cosmetic products. It is a colourless gas that is typically added with water to make formalin which has been found to cause irritation to the skin. 

Parabens and Formaldehyde are commonly found in shampoos, lotions, and facial cleansers.

<h3>4. Sodium lauryl suphate (SLS)</h3>
An ingredient used as an emulsifier to thicken cosmetic products. It creates a texture that is easy to apply and rinse off the skin. However, because this chemical is a harsh detergent, it is also known to cause redness, irritation, and dry skin. This chemical can result in skin issues such as dermatitis and dandruff, especially to those with sensitive skin.
SLS is commonly found in shaving cream, makeup remover, and bathing products
<h3>5. Triclosan</h3>
Similar to SLS, this ingredient is a harsh anti-bacterial agent that also acts as a cosmetic product preservative. It has been found to cause several allergies and is suspected to be linked with hormone disruption in the body.&nbsp;
Triclosan is commonly found in deodorant, hand soap, and shower gel.

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>6. Petrolatum</h3>
This mineral oil type is usually found in lip balms and moisturizers and it provides temporary relief to dry sky though it doesn&#8217;t really contain any moisturizing properties. Instead, it acts as a barrier to retain moisture but blocks the pores from absorbing moisture from other applications, thus preventing the skin from breathing and causing it to dry.
Petrolatum is commonly found in lip products, moisturizers, and sunscreen.
<h3>7. Coal tar</h3>
Unfortunately for women who love to play with lipsticks, this ingredient is likely found in most tinted lip products. Typically, the more vibrant the product, the more likely it is to contain this ingredient as it is used as a base to brighten the colours of cosmetics products. This ingredient can cause irritation resulting in acne and allergic breakouts.&nbsp;
 
Coal tar is commonly found in lipsticks, hair dyes, and lotions.

<h3>8. Hydroquinone</h3>
This ingredient acts as a skin-lightening agent to bleach skin. It helps with hyperpigmentation, such as acne scars, age spots, and freckles by reducing melanin — the cells that produce skin colour. However, over time, overuse of this harsh bleaching agent can cause skin damage that can result in blemishes and premature aging. 
Hydroquinone is commonly found in skin lighteners, facial moisturizers, and cleansers.
<h3>9. Synthetic Fragrances</h3>
Not limited to perfumes, synthetic fragrances can be found in any product with a pleasant scent to it. Typically, these scents are artificial and chemical-based. Natural scents with essential oils are better alternatives to avoid the side effects of synthetic fragrances which have been found to be correlated with respiratory issues and allergic skin reactions. 
 
Synthetic fragrances are commonly found in facial products, makeup, sunscreen, and bathing products.

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>10. Alcohol</h3>
<h3>Alcohol has been known to cause the skin to dry and flake. Although its use brings positive effects, prolonged use can damage the surface of the skin to dry and flake, disrupting the skin&#8217;s renewal cycle. 
 
Alcohol is commonly found in toners, aftershave, and lotions.&nbsp;

Hydrate, Protect & Style: A guide to Tabitha James Kraan’s Organic Hair Care

Live Zero in Sai Ying Pun is the city&#8217;s first packaging-free, zero-waste store
On the 1st of February 2018, a bright little shop on the quieter side of High Street opened its doors to the public. Little did passers-by know that it was a brave pioneer in the 852 scene, as the territory&#8217;s&nbsp;first, zero-waste, bulk-buy shop.
The goal? To begin a movement that changes the way people purchase their necessities, returning us to how we humans were prior to plastic.&nbsp;

It&#8217;s not easy to go plastic-free in Hong Kong. Scant legislation on&nbsp;product packaging and waste management has prevented the development of a &#8216;mature waste market&#8217; like that of nearby Japan. However, what with the emergence of <a href="https://www.edgar.hk/">Edgar</a> in Tsim Sha Tsui, and now&nbsp;Live Zero&nbsp;in Sai Ying Pun, things are looking up. Maybe Hong Kong&#8217;s landfills won&#8217;t <a href="http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20170427-hong-kong-has-a-monumental-waste-problem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explode in 2020</a> after all, as experts have predicted. Or it can even be as simple as having clean waters to swim in and trash-free beaches to enjoy.
Millennial 25-year-old interior designer Tamsin Thornburrow is behind the small business, which stocks a range of products from foodstuffs to personal care items. The entrepreneur has spent the last year researching brands and suppliers to feature on Live Zero&#8217;s shelves. Customers can come in with their own empty containers and fill them up with what they need, purchase pretty recyclable ones, or use whatever others have donated and left free-for-the-taking on the table by the door.&nbsp;

Thornburrow studied&nbsp;landscape architecture and previously worked for a furniture company and a homeware retailer. At 22, she launched Thorn and Burrow, a home decor shop specialising in textiles. It was there she noticed a significant appetite for reusable packaging, when sales for her stocked S&#8217;well&nbsp;stainless steel water bottles picked up.&nbsp;
The young activist-entrepreneur then opened the first iteration of Live Zero in PMQ, Central. Then, after gleaning advice from similar setup&nbsp;<a href="https://www.beunpackaged.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Unpackaged</a> in London, she decided to dive headfirst and lease the space on High Street for a full-on eco-friendly venture.

&#8220;[Zero waste] is about limiting yourself to what you need,&#8221; says&nbsp;Thornburrow, whose latest project has gotten a lot of attention and support from the community and media alike. &#8220;We’re made to feel we need [so much] stuff,&#8221; she says. But do we, really?

8 Hong Kong farms to check out for all your green needs

Aveda&#8217;s newest service thickens and colours with only plant-based products
<figure style="width: 940px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full" src="https://arsovasalon-arsovasalon.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/invati%E2%84%A2-exfoliating-shampoo.jpg" width="940" height="403"><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Ummm&#8230; how?</figcaption></figure>
If you thought contouring strictly belonged to the territory of make-up artists, you were wrong.&nbsp;Aveda&#8217;s global artistic director for hair color, Ian Michael Black,&nbsp;came up with a way to translate the makeup technique into hair art using strategic colour placement. &#8220;Eclipting&#8221; is the new buzz word in the beauty world, after years of &#8220;balayage&#8221; domination.&nbsp;
We know&nbsp;– there are so many concepts to grasp when it comes to this new trend. Let&#8217;s start by slowing down and taking it apart piece by piece.
Step 1: Thickening with Invati Advanced
Aveda&#8217;s thickening + colour/highlights service is a new&nbsp;body-boosting hair treatment&nbsp;designed to contour and alter the shape of your hair. The first part lifts and volumizes thinning, lanky tresses for maximum fullness using the award-winning Invati Advanced™&nbsp;line, which powers the process via three products that promise to reduce hair loss by 53%.&nbsp;
Price: The&nbsp;Invati Treatment for Thinning Hair starts at HK$500
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full" src="https://www.aveda.co.uk/media/export/cms/Site_Refreshes/FY18/FY18_P1_refresh/P1_HP_InvatiAdv_Trio_Mobile.jpg" width="768" height="500">
Step 2:&nbsp;Eclipting –&nbsp;Colouring your way to fuller-looking hair
The second part achieves&nbsp;optical illusions by way of &#8216;eclipting.&#8217; The technique makes thinning hair appear fuller through &#8216;hair contouring&#8217;: incorporating&nbsp;balayage techniques to effect gradients (although eclipting uses starker contrasts for a more distinct change).
Black&#8217;s method keeps the root area a little darker to &#8220;make hair look more solid at the scalp,&#8221; he says. &#8220;It works well with the darker-root trend right now.&#8221;
Strategic highlights are then placed: finer through the top and chunkier underneath. &#8220;This gives hair a bulkier look overall,&#8221; according to Black.&nbsp;Finally, the ends shouldn&#8217;t be lighter than the rest of the hair as bleached ends look especially thin.
&#8220;But nothing makes hair look better than being shiny and conditioned,&#8221; warns Black, so keep those locks healthy! Remember: chemicals at the minimum, hence Aveda&#8217;s success as a company that sticks to naturally-derived ingredients.

The Hong Kong experience
Among Aveda&#8217;s several <a href="http://www.aveda.com.hk/locations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hong Kong locations</a>, we decided to check out their Lifestyle Salon &amp; Spa at The Loop in Central. You can enter via a separate door from the building lobby; skip the spa and salon on the first two floors to get to the colouring station on the third.&nbsp;
Since you&#8217;re going to be in here for a good three hours, best make yourself comfy with complimentary tea and settle in with some reading material. If your eyes need a break, there&#8217;s a streetview to Wellington Street below, or the mirror to check on your <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alleunghair/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">colorist&#8217;s</a> progress.&nbsp;

A colour assesment begins the session, followed by&nbsp;a soothing head and scalp massage which releases any tension or pre-colour worries you may have. If you need lightening, the bleaching for highlights goes first to add depth, followed by a thorough shampooing and conditioning. The&nbsp;toning&nbsp;stage brings in the colour application, and finally a&nbsp;treatment&nbsp;to offset anydrying or damage.&nbsp;
What do you think?
