Embrace a global skincare routine with the world’s best natural beauty secrets, like yogurt, turmeric, coffee grounds, and the iconic Bulgarian Rose Water.

At Mazillo skincare, we believe the essence of natural beauty has two parts: feeling confident in your beautifully bare skin, and harnessing the power of nature’s best ingredients. That’s why all our natural beauty products are inspired by our homeland, Bulgaria, a land rich in ancient remedies and unique ingredients that contribute to healthy skin.

…but that doesn't mean we're not curious about the skincare secrets hidden in other corners of the globe. 

We’ve travelled around the world (*ahem* the internet), to unveil the best natural beauty secrets around the world. From a morning coffee in Costa Rica, to a creamy Yogurt in Greece, here are our top natural beauty secrets from around the world.

7 Natural Beauty Secrets From Around the World

1. From Costa Rica: Coffee Grounds

Wake up and smell the coffee…in your skincare routine! Costa Ricans swear by coffee grounds for their natural exfoliating prowess. Rich in antioxidants, these grounds remove dead skin cells and leave skin smooth and rejuvenated. 

2. From India: Turmeric

In Indian beauty rituals, this sunshine-coloured spice shines. With anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, turmeric is said to reduce acne and contribute to a natural golden glow.

3. From Greece: Yogurt

Greek yogurt isn’t just a healthy snack, it’s a natural beauty secret too. Greek women embrace yogurt for its moisturising and exfoliating properties. It contains lactic acid, believed to gently exfoliate the skin, and the creamy texture helps the skin smooth and hydrated.

4. China: Green Tea

This refreshing beverage features in Chinese beauty traditions for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Research even suggests the plant polyphenols found in green tea are valuable in preventing UV damage (although it should never replace SPF!).

5. West Africa:  Shea Butter

Derived from the nuts of the shea tree, shea butter is a staple in West African beauty routines. It deeply moisturises the skin, reduces inflammation, and is believed to promote skin elasticity.

6. Mexico: Aloe Vera

Today, Aloe Vera is a holiday essential, well known for treating sunburn mishaps. This is thanks to the Aztecs. Known for its healing and soothing properties, aloe vera has long been used in Mexico for healing and hydrating the skin and reducing inflammation.

7. Bulgaria: Rose Water

Now for our favourite (we’re only slightly biased!): Bulgarian Rose Water. Grown in the Valley of Roses, a region just south of the Balkan Mountains, the Bulgarian rose has come to be the symbol of Bulgaria. It was brought to the rest of Europe to admire its beauty, and quickly became natural beauty essential for protecting the skin, fighting acne, and contributing to a healthy, youthful complexion.
