What Are Your Natural Skincare Options?

July 30, 2022 Posted by KimS Beauty Articles, Eco-Friendly Living, Hair Care, Lifestyle, Makeup, Recipes, Shop, Skincare

young lady with amazing skinImagine browsing through skincare aisles and finding that one, perfect product that boasts of all-natural ingredients. Serendipity, right?

Then you go and read the label expecting to find a virtual salad but instead finding yourself reading benzoic acid, butyl stearate, and some totally unpronounceable names. The smaller number of ingredients, the purer so to speak it can be.

You’re no botanist, but you’re sure that that stuff doesn’t grow on trees. This is because most commercial items meant for skin care nowadays contain preservatives and other chemicals to maintain their consistency and shelf life. Problem is, most of these chemicals can actually irritate more sensitive skin.

What solution is there for this kind of crisis? Simple. Mix your own, homemade skincare line. There are a few books out there that will give you amazing recipes that you can make in your kitchen. Check out Jan Berry, she got lots of books you can get for your Kindle or paperback. There’s nothing to it as most ingredients are found in your fridge or fruit basket. All-natural skin recipes are easily found on the Internet or even in magazines. Usually, these skincare mixes are composed of a combination of one or two fruits.

Combinations like these can include either the fruit pulp, fruit juice, or both. Milk, water, or honey are usually added to smoothen the mixture. Add-ons such as oatmeal, wheat germ, brown sugar, and dried herbs are also included for more specialized concoctions such as a pimple treatment, flaking, and oily skin.

I have the book called “Nature’s Beauty Kit” by Deb Carpenter and she has a few really easy simple recipes for skincare.

Honey Facial Mask for Blemishes
Ingredients – Honey (known for its drawing power)
Instructions:
1. Apply warm (not hot) honey to your face.
2. Leave on for 15 minutes.
3. Rinse thoroughly with warm water, then cool water.
4. Pat dry.
5. Apply toner.
6. Apply moisturizer.

Skincare using natural ingredients offers great variety. There are facial cleansers, scrubs, moisturizing creams, and face masks. Don’t worry because indications for use are usually found with the recipes. The recipes indicate whether the mixture is for normal, dry, oily, sensitive, and acne-prone skin. Some are even more specialized as blackhead removers or whitening solutions.

Natural skincare routines have many advantages. First, the ingredients are easily available, and the choices are great. They are also natural, thus, greatly reducing risks of allergies or skin irritations. Second, the ingredients are cheap, which translates into more savings for you. Third, you can modify the recipes to suit your needs. Since the risks for irritations are minimal, experimentation is relatively safe. Fourth, vitamins and antioxidants are naturally found in fruits, while milk and honey have restorative properties. Therefore, you get the same vitamins found in commercial products while limiting or eradicating chemicals.

As these skincare recipes use natural ingredients, they require refrigeration and can only keep for a week. However, it is better to make these in small quantities or batches for immediate use. In addition, these recipes contain natural hydroxyl acids and vitamins for direct and instant skin rejuvenation. Also, don’t forget to keep fit by exercising, having a balanced, healthy diet, and regular sleep. With these prerequisites and your new skincare solutions, you’re on your way to having healthy skin that can top what science can offer. Now, that’s what you call natural.

Personally, its not something I would want to do. I have mature skin so I rather use brands I know that are not harming animals, are as good as possible for my skin. But we should all have choices right?
