You may have heard that organic argan oil for skin care is a wonderful concoction that works wonders. This is not a mere speculation as the oil has proven its worth for over thirty centuries past. The beauty oil is native to Morocco where its source, the argan tree, is exclusively found. The Moroccan people enjoyed the potency of this oil for centuries not only on their skin but also for their entire body. Argan oil gives the skin a radiant look so people who have used it often call it the "Liquid Gold".[]
One thing that you should keep from your summer skin care routine is the use of sun screen. You may not be spending as many days next to the pool in the upcoming months but you will still be susceptible to sun damage. Be sure to protect yourself from a sunburn by using a natural skin care lotion that contains at least SPF 15 to moisturize and protect skin at the same time.
With fall comes colder weather and the drying air of heaters. Don't let your skin pay the price. Prevent flaking by using a shielding lotion. A shielding lotion works to strengthen your skin's own natural barrier helping it to better maintain its own oils and moisture. The skin's natural oils are the secret to keeping dry skin at bay.It's important not to forget about your hands. Colder weather can cause painful cracking and peeling skin. For natural skin care try massaging hands with half a cup of plain yogurt mixed with the juice of one lemon into hands and rinse before applying a shielding lotion
Although natural lotion alone is not enough to have great skin, without it you're pretty much going to miss the boat. No matter what other steps you take, you can't get rid of harsh weather conditions or the chemicals that pollute the air, and our skin. A good natural lotion for dry skin protects against the elements, prevents moisture loss while still allowing the skin to breath, reduces the absorption of toxins, and is free of toxic chemicals (some skin care ingredients are even worse than chemical pollutants.)
During summer fruity scented body washes and scrubs tend to be a favorite in many showers. These products usually contain fragrances and other chemicals that can dry and damage skin. This fall replace those fruity smelling products with a natural body wash that is soap free and won't cause skin to become dry and tight. To make your own natural body scrub simply mix 1 cup of regular or brown sugar with cup of extra virgin olive oil. If you want a scented scrub try using an olive oil infused with rosemary or another herb.
Pamper your skin and keep it hydrated during colder fall months with a weekly facial. Halloween and Thanksgiving aren't the only occasions for pumpkin, have it make an appearance in your own natural skin care mask. For an easy do it yourself pumpkin mask, just combine 1 cup of canned pumpkin mashed with an egg yolk and a few tablespoons of buttermilk. Then smooth the mixture onto your face and neck, letting sit for 30 minutes before rinsing.Skin care products have developed greatly since the ancient Egyptians started using natural ingredients back in 4th millennium BC. Use of natural ingredients such as bee venom (which incidentally has made a comeback in skin care), milk and honey to enhance their skin was well documented as were the many natural cosmetic ingredients found in our mothers and grandmothers kitchens such as oat masks and sugar rubs.
Ideas and Recipes for Face Masks.Carrot Mask - Grate a carrot and mix it with one teaspoon of honey. Leave on your face for around 15 minutes and with regular use, it will surely bring about a change.Pineapple mash - Mash a pineapple slice and mix it with some lemon juice then, mix that with wheat flour. Use it on your face and neck area then scrub it off after a while. You will notice how smooth your skin is.Lemon-Egg Mixture - Beat an egg white and store it in the freezer for 15 minutes. When the time is up add lemon juice and a grated tomato to your cooled off egg whites. Lemon and egg have a wonderful softening quality so if you do this for a month, you'll notice how soft your skin becomes.Guava ,For a more glowing look, smash a guava and stir it with an oatmeal and lemon juice mixture.Spinach - Try a cup of raw pureed spinach with one spoon of fresh cream. Apply to the face.
As a result of this casual approach to skin care ingredient, many mainstream skin care products made today contain synthetic chemical ingredients including dyes and fragrances and of course preservatives such as parabens, which can mimic the hormone oestrogen, which has been shown, in some studies, to be linked to breast cancer and urogenital abnormalities.Sometimes there are very good reasons for putting parabens, in particular, into a product; a cosmetic is likely to be more toxic if it has gone off than the preservatives themselves so it is the best of a bad choice. One of the reasons why preservatives are so important is because big manufacturers make huge batches of their products and ship them around the world and the products need to withstand uncontrolled shipping and storage environments. Also if they did have a batch that went off the cost of recalling hundreds of thousands of products from around the world would be astronomical, not to mention the bad publicity.
The inclusion of synthetic perfumes and colors is purely cost cutting, as are all the fillers that are added. Phthalates which are often found in synthetic fragrances are a hormone disrupter known to cause birth defects, damage sperm, cause infertility and cause the feminization of boy babies. So choose your skin care without the nice smells unless the perfume is essential oil based.Now that we are getting a little wiser and understand that our skin is our largest organ and whatever we apply to it ultimately gets absorbed into our bloodstream, we are demanding more natural cosmetics, and the market is turning full circle and starting to address our concerns.Fortunately natural skin care has also come a long way. For a long time most natural products were thick and gluggy and blocked pours, more importantly, they also did not work. Now there are several ranges on the market that can actually do what they claim to do, enhance the skin. Even sun screens are moving away from being mainly chemical based to natural, while still providing 30+ SPF broad spectrum protection and they are much more pleasant to use.
The use of specialised ingredients such as marine collagens, bee venom, and vitamins and minerals are being included in natural skin care ranges added in bases that can easily be absorbed by the skin and so now we are seeing a difference. These products are now not only pleasant to use but they will plump up skin, stimulate collagen and elastin production and as a result will reduce fine lines and make the skin look brighter and firmer. Generally the best of both worlds.So remember if it smells nice, step away from the cosmetic, and where possible use a natural product that incorporates active ingredients such as bee venom, marine collagens and vitamins and minerals.
