Natural Skin Care Treatments
Beginning Your Own
Regimen
Preparing your own organic natural skin treatments using common
items found right in your own kitchen or garden can be just as, or more
effective, as the ones you can buy and represent quite a cost savings.
Begin by taking an inventory of potential natural skin care ingredients
available in your cupboards and refrigerator.
The most common items include fruits, dairy items,
sugar, salt, vinegars, aspirin, eggs, honey, oatmeal, olive oil and tea
bags.
Decide on the natural skin care ingredients that
best address your skin type and skin care issues.
Oily skin types will want to focus on more astringent ingredients such
as citrus and exfoliating salt or sugar scrubs while sensitive skin
types will want to include more soothing items such as olive oil, dairy
products and honey.
Your skin will
reap the rewards of an
organic approach!
Develop a natural skin care routine that
incorporates a cleansing, scrub, toning, and moisturizing recipe using
the natural ingredients best suited for your skin type. A normal skin
type might use a sea salt scrub recipe followed by a lemon juice toner
and olive oil based moisturizer.
Start collecting natural skin care recipes and
experiment with ingredients to determine which are best suited to
address your skin care needs.
Most skin types benefit from regular facial steams
and a weekly facial treatment such as a mask or skin peel. Try whipping
up a 10 minute enriching
moisturizing facial mask from an egg, a packet of unflavored gelatin, a
squeeze of lemon, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Did you know that most natural skin care recipes
can be made ahead and will keep for several days when refrigerated.
There are literally thousands of natural skin care
recipes that can address a wide range of skin care issues.
There are many herbs that are known to effectively combat
acne outbreaks while others are proficient in healing skin irritations.
The more you
explore recipes and the attributes of natural organic ingredients the
greater reward you and your skin will have when you mix up
your
own natural skin care treatments!
Warning: If you are allergic to certain foods,
don't use them in a natural skin care recipe either!
