Safer, less expensive, and
easy-to-use natural skin care
can be as easy as opening
your kitchen cabinet, coupled
with a few minutes of preparation.
Healthy, radiant, glowing
skin is something every person
wants. Yet, few of us even
think to use what's really
the best for out skin: natural
skin care products.
Each year, millions of dollars
are spent chasing after perfectly
healthy, ageless skin. The
environment, stress, and less
than healthy eating habits,
all play a major role in the
quality of your skin.
The answers to achieving radiant,
glowing complexion are within
arm's reach. Many of the items
in your kitchen right now
can provide natural skin care
that's even better thank those
expensive, chemical filled
products that cost an arm
and a leg.
Skin Care Throughout Life
From the day we are born,
our skin requires much care
to remain smooth and healthy.
It begins with soap to keep
us clean. Then, there are
creams, powders, and ointments
to keep diaper rash from our
bottoms. During the first
few years of our lives, our
skin will do well with soap
for cleaning and the occasional
lotion or cream for moisture.
Then come the teen years.
Our raging hormones bring
out the oily skin, the pimples,
and a host of other conditions.
It's important to understand
that everything that comes
in contact with our body affects
our health and the condition
of our skin. That's why choosing
natural skin care products
and ingredients is important.
The liver filters the toxins
and poisons from the food
we eat, but whatever we place
on our skin is directly absorbed.
This includes deodorant, lotions,
gels, cleansers, toners, make-up,
perfumes, and more.
As we age, our skin becomes
more sensitive, and we need
to be even more careful with
the beauty treatments we use.
Simple Solutions for Better
Skin
Here are a just a few natural
skin care solutions for you
to try. You'll be very pleased
with the results:
-once a week, rub your skin
with baking soda while in
the shower, for a smooth,
silky feeling. You can also
do this on your face to remove
black heads.
-fresh tomatoes are great
for the oily areas of your
face. (Please make sure to
try the tomato juice on your
arm first, as your skin may
be sensitive to it). Rinse
thoroughly immediately after
using the tomato juice.
-for a great moisturizer try
olive oil: this healthy fat
is good for you, and is great
for your skin. You can also
use it to soothe sunburned
skin.
-vinegar can work wonders
for smelly feet and armpits.
Mix water and vinegar 50/50,
and use in place of deodorant:
it will keep the unpleasant
sweat smell away, without
any irritation. As for your
feet, if you suffer with athlete's
foot, a week of vinegar foot
bath will help a lot, sometimes
completely getting rid of
your condition.
-egg yolk mixed with honey
makes for a really great mask:
put on your skin, leave it
on for 20 minutes, and rinse
off. Excellent for sensitive
skin. Honey gives a tingling/ticklish
sensation, so if you are sensitive
to that, use the egg yolk
alone.
-another use for egg yolk:
for those with eczema, use
it instead of soap. It doesn't
smell great, but it will heal
your damaged skin.
-a great treatment for dry
skin is avocados: mash it,
smooth it onto your face,
and rinse off after 20 minutes.
Lastly, make sure you drink
8 glasses of water every day
to keep your skin cared from
the inside out.
