Natural Skin Care - Just Open Your Kitchen Cabinet
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.
