Also disclosed is a method for preparing such a composition, as well as a composition prepared by the method.

The present invention concerns a cosmetic method for dyeing or making up keratin fibres, in particular eyelashes and/or eyebrows and preferably eyebrows, comprising the application, to the keratin fibres, of at least: a) A dyeing cosmetic composition A comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, one or more natural dye(s) chosen from the group consisting of neoflavonoids, gallic tannins and catechic tannins, and/or proanthocyanidins and the derivatives of same and the mixtures thereof, or preferably one or more plant extracts containing same, and advantageously an antioxidant, b) A revealing cosmetic composition B comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least one iron salt and/or one aluminium salt, in particular an iron gluconate or an iron sulphate, composition A being applied before or after composition B, and preferably before composition B.

A three-part method of cleaning a user's teeth and/or gums is disclosed. First, a user applies a tonic of essential oils to the user's teeth and/or gums by either brushing, rubbing, rinsing and/or flossing with the tonic thereby destroying harmful bacteria. Second, the user brushes with a toothpaste having nano-hydroxyapatite being particles of 50 nanometers or smaller. The nano-hydroxyapatite is absorbed into the surface opening inside dentinal tubules of the teeth. Third, the user seeds their mouth with an oral probiotic having beneficial bacteria. The third step must come after both the first and second steps.
