Now that you have many easy recipes to choose from, develop and maintain a program for your particular type of skin. Any complete skin care regimen should contain a cleanser, an exfoliate, a toner, and of course, a moisturizer. In addition to the morning and after exercising or wearing make-up, your face should be washed every evening before going to bed with a mild cleanser that doesn’t irritate the skin, followed by the correct type of moisturizer for your skin.
Experiment with different ingredients, something that’s impossible, or even dangerous to do with commercially made products that contain chemicals, and see what suits your skin best. Using a little imagination, there are literally thousands of combinations to choose from with an equal amount of rewarding results.
Most types of skin need regular steam and facial treatments, usually on a weekly basis. It’s easy to give yourself a steam treatment at home using your sink, a towel and some hot water, followed by a simple facial made from eggs, olive oil, and lemon juice. Other natural ingredients commonly found at home to experiment with include sugars, salts, oatmeal, vinegar, and tea bags.
Most often, our skin is a reflection of how healthy our bodies are on the inside. It's wise to begin any natural skin care routine with a well-balanced diet, essentially caring for the skin from the inside out. Water is also essential for healthy skin, which after all, is our largest organ, and it’s equally important to avoid pollutants and environmental hazards such as cigarette smoke and harsh chemicals.
