Five Natural Skin Care Recipes

By Allen S. Fox


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.

There are many other natural antioxidants in this special oil that protect your skin from potential damage from the environment including pollution, too much sun exposure and chemicals. One of its contents, Ferulic acid is rarely found in any oil. It protects you from harmful radiation of the sun where it works best.Polyphenols help fight the damage caused by over-exposure to the sun and promote skin repair. There are also the sterols that help in maintaining young looking and moisturized skin. Organic argan oil for skin care additionally helps keep your skin firm and elastic with all its essential fatty acid contents.

The first is an easy, two-ingredient solution that can be put together quickly for routine cleaning.Simply combine baking soda with water to make a paste.Apply to your face or at least the blackhead problem areas for 10 minutes and let this absorbant mask wick out the oil and debris clogging the follicles.(Notice how we said "clogged pores" above and then "clogged follicle" just now? The pore is the opening fine skin hairs grow out of - they're the same thing. Now you know!)

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.

While the water is boiling grind 2 tablespoons of oatmeal (rolled oats) in a clean coffee grinder. If you don't have a coffee grinder break apart the oats into smaller pieces using your fingertips.Combine 2 tablespoons of the parsley water to the 2 tablespoons crushed oats to make a paste.Add the egg white, mix into a paste and apply to your face for 10 minutes.

A few drops of you favorite non-irritating essential oil can be added to supplement the treatment. What's non-irritating? We don't recommend peppermint, for example! Lavender or other flower essences would work fine.Make Your Own Homemade MoisturizerSun in the summer and wind in the winter dry out our skin robbing us of the supple look of youth. Restore that moisture the natural way with this simple recipes that uses only two ingredients!

You might need to pick up some almond oil if it's something you don't normally use and while you're at the store get a nice, soft, ready-to-use avocado.To make this simple skin moisturizing mask use 1/2 to 1/3 of the avocado and mash it with four drops of almond oil and leave on your face for 30 minutes.

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.

Spread evenly on your face and leave on for 20 minutes.Apply A Healthy Lifestyle.These applications work best as part of an ongoing, overall healthy skin care plan along with healthy lifestyle choices like drinking plenty of water and getting enough exercise and adequate sleep.If you're worried natural skin care remedies act too slow remember that even prescription skin medicines can take weeks to see results. And the beauty of these home remedies is that they can become long-term healthy habits that have no bad side effects. In fact, you may find yourself trying new cooking recipes with all that papaya and almond oil on hand!
