natural skin care


Many of us realize how important it is to be physically fit but fail to attach the same importance to our skin. Our skin is covered with millions of pores, hundreds of sebaceous glands and a huge number of sweat glands. The skin constantly eliminates toxins from the body through perspiration and helps in regulating the temperature of the body. In fact the pallor of the skin and the elasticity are indicators of internal health. Such an important organ surely deserves a little bit more care than the mere topical application of creams and lotions. A healthy skin is determined by our life styles, and also by what we eat and drink. Hence Natural skin care coupled with diet and exercise is very important.

There is no substitute for cleaning -- Twice or thrice a day for a dry skin and 4-5 times for an oily skin is sufficient. The cleaning agents can be in the form of soap or in the form of creams, lotions or gels. Fresh milk is considered to be a good natural cleanser. While cleaning, remember never to stretch or pull the skin. Always apply cleansers and creams in an upward motion and towards the ears. Repeat the procedure a couple of times taking care to leave the cleanser on the face for some time. A combination of milk, honey and oatmeal massaged into the skin is very effective. Remove all traces of cleanser by rinsing with water. In India, a mixture of rice flour with curd is often used to remove make up and open up the pores.

Natural skin care is not complete without us using a skin freshener or a toner. Strictly speaking a toner or an astringent ensure that the acid alkali balance is not affected. If you have a dry skin go in for a non-alcoholic freshener and if your skin is oily, an alcohol and water base would be efficient. Lavender oil mixed with distilled water works wonders on all skin types. The malic acid in apple juice is an excellent exfoliator.

Very often it is found that skin looks dull and lifeless. This is because of accumulated dirt, sebum and dead skin. Facemasks are used to rejuvenate the skin. Clay and fullers earth contain aluminum silicate, which not only removes the excess oil, but also helps in removing the dead cells. Some clays like kaolin absorb the toxins also and is best suited for oily skins. Oatmeal coupled with bran is a good dead cell peeler. Rich in vitamin B and E, this combination works wonders for the skin. You do not have to go to a beauty parlor to apply these face packs, there are some inexpensive options that you can do at home. Indians tend to use masks made from cucumber, curd and lemon juice. This has a double effect of cleansing and bleaching.

Natural skin care is easier than it is often made out to be. Lettuce leaves sprinkled with lemon juice and dipped in olive oil have an invigorating effect
when they are kept on the cheeks for some time. In fact, the extracts and pulp of many fruits can be used as effective masks. A mixture of orange rind and the ubiquitous curd is an extremely wonderful exfoliating agent. The mixture can be used on any type of skin. The results may vary from person to person.

The use of Moisturizers in natural skin care cannot be undermined for they guard the skin against the natural element of heat and cold. A combination of lavender essential oil, hazelnut oil and chamomile pure essential oil in the right proportion is a good moisturizer for any skin. This combination is vital for natural skin care as it soothes stressed out skin. In India, the juice of cucumber and buttermilk is used to soften and lighten skin.

The use of sunscreen in the form of lotions and creams cannot be emphasized enough. The ultraviolet radiation from sunlight (especially in tropical countries like India), causes damage to the skin. A sunscreen with an SPF of over 15 applied at least 10 minutes before you go out blocks most of the UVR.

So if you want to have a healthy skin, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, reduce stress, sleep well and eat healthy. As you age, the production of hormones and oil in the body slows down. Use external applications judiciously and rejuvenate your skin. Remember organic fruits and vegetables vitalize the body; sour cream and yogurt contain lactic acid (a natural alpha hydroxy acid) which helps in exfoliation. Organic honey is good for any type of skin and fresh aloe Vera gel hydrates, detoxifies and revitalizes. Natural skin care is not as difficult as is often made out to be.

Homemade Skin Care Recipes: Honey & Wheatgerm Facial Mask

Exfoliating your skin is an important step in skin care maintenance. By removing dead skin cells, you reveal the newer, softer skin beneath. This easy homemade

Ingredients:
-2 TBSP Honey
-2 TBSP Wheatgerm (untoasted preferable)In a bowl, mix together honey and wheatgerm. Place in airtight container. This recipe makes about 3 to 4 applications.

To Use:
Before applying the Honey & Wheatgerm Facial Mask, either steam your face or use directly after a warm shower to open your pores and allow the mask to do its magic!
To steam your face, pour almost boiling water into a bowl. Hold your face about 12 to 18 inches over the bowl and drape a towel over your head, covering yourself and the bowl. Steam your face for about 5 to 10 minutes.
To use the Honey & Wheatgerm Facial Mask, scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together to make the Honey & Wheatgerm Mask pliable. Gently rub mixture onto face and throat. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with hot water to remove the entire mask. Follow with toner and moisturizer.

Shelf Life
As with any homemade natural skin care recipe, this mask has a shelf life of about a week. Although honey is an antibacterial, water may leak into the pot if it's kept in the bathroom. That's why the container is so important.
I like the little pots found at the personal care/travel section in my local super store. The newer airline regulations about what can and cannot be taken on the plane have spawned regulation-friendly containers. They are perfect for the small amount of personal skin care recipes that I create!

Why these ingredients?
Honey is an incredibly versatile food. Not only is it a fantastic emollient that attracts and retains moisture, but honey is also packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids which help you maintain healthy skin. In addition, honey also has antibacterial properties. Personally, I prefer to use local honey from local producers. It keeps costs down as well has helps support local honey bee keepers. skin care recipe can be whipped up quickly using ingredients most of us keep in the kitchen.

At Home Homemade Skin Care

Caring for skin and keeping it soft and supple doesn't have to be expensive. In fact, one can find everything needed for beautiful, soft, radiant skin right in the kitchen! Many over the counter skin care products contain these natural ingredients mentioned below in this article. Why not save some money and just go straight to the source?

Homemade Skin Care - Facial Scrub

Sugar scrubs and facial scrubs sell anywhere from a few dollars to as much as $50 in some of your high end stores, but women don't have to spend a small fortune for a jar of scrub.

To make your own facial scrub, simply mix granulated sugar, yes, the kind you can buy at the store, with enough whole milk to form a paste. Once you have a paste, you can use this sugar scrub on your face and neck, just like the high priced over the counter skin care facial scrubs, by gently rubbing the mixture in circular motions on your face and neck, and then rinsing thoroughly.

Homemade Skin Care - Fruit Skin Conditioner

Fruit can be a wonderful skin conditioner for dry skin. Take about half of an avocado and about half a banana and mash it together with a little bit of olive oil to make it moist, and you have a perfect conditioning mask for dry skin. Simply smooth the mashed mixture onto your face and neck and let it sit for about 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

If skin is very oily or has dark spots, a mixture of lemon juice, milk, and enough flour to make a light paste and then spread the mixture on the trouble spots. Let it sit for 1-3 minutes and then rinse thoroughly.

If the spots are very dark, using pure lemon juice can help reduce the dark spots, sun spots or age spots. Nothing can remove them completely and it won't happen over night, but using citric acid, such as what is found in lemon or lime juice, can help reduce skin spots over time.

Personal Skin Care: You Can Do Everything on your Own

When it comes to personal skin care there is a lot for you to keep in mind. After all, not everybody is lucky enough to have perfect skin without having to do a thing. Luckily, skin care is one area of the health and beauty industries that has become very popular as of late. If you are hoping to restore your skin to its natural beauty, you will want to consider several things.

First off, personal skin care has a lot to do with the products that you are using. There are hundreds of skin care products on the market for you to choose from. Of course, not all of them are going to be right for your skin care situation. But at the same time, you should be able to find plenty that are more than helpful.

Before you consider what your personal skin care regimen should entail, you need to outline your goals. In other words, what problems are you having with your skin? As you can imagine, taking care of dry skin is much different than treating acne. If you treat everything in the same manner, you will find out soon enough that you are not making a lot of headway.

Where can you shop for personal skin care products? Basically speaking, your local drug store should have a large selection. If this does not suit your needs, go to a beauty supply store in your area or search online and see what they have to offer. As long as you look around at the different establishments, you will find plenty of stores that sell the skin care products that you want to buy. Of course, shopping around can also work to your advantage financially as well. After all, if you can save money by shopping at one store instead of another, you might as well do so.
