No product applied to the face will do wonders for the skin. True beauty comes from within. This means eating unprocessed foods with no obscure chemical ingredients. This means getting enough vitamins and minerals. This means enough fat, especially omega-3s, to keep the skin hydrated.
But even the healthiest person needs skin care. After all, it is the only part of the body that comes into contact with the real world. Here are some tips on how to give your skin a little love with natural products.
Natural scrubs
Scrubs are used 1 or 2 times a week to remove dead cells. Use for this natural products that can be found on the kitchen shelves.
Oatmeal: Make a serving of plain oatmeal and rub it on your face. Thanks to its moisturizing effect, it is great for people with dry skin.
Coffee: Ground coffee has just the right grain size to make a good scrub. The natural acids it contains act as an anti-inflammatory agent that fights acne. Just make sure that coffee does not get into the drain, otherwise there will be a blockage.
Sugar + Honey: Too bad this recipe is not suitable for vegans who avoid honey. Sugar is considered a good scrub, while honey is rich in nutrients and has antimicrobial effects. Antioxidants contained in honey restore the skin. Instead of honey, you can use agave nectar, but it does not contain as many cosmetically valuable substances.
Ground nuts: Use a coffee grinder to grind almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts. Rub them on your face. This is an excellent peeling for dry and sensitive skin.
Natural skin tonics
After washing, the skin must be wiped with a tonic to get rid of the remaining dirt and grease. Finished cosmetic products usually contain drying alcohol. Try natural skin toners.
Natural Apple Cider Vinegar: It has a pungent smell, but is wonderful at shrinking pores, removing dead cells, and balancing the skin’s pH. Use 1 part apple cider vinegar to 2 parts filtered water. Wipe the skin with a cotton swab.
Green tea: Brew green tea with boiling water for 10 minutes. Wipe their face.
Peppermint tea: Use the same way as green tea
Lemon Juice: You can apply lemon juice on your face and leave it on for 10 minutes. It brightens the skin and makes scars and sun spots less noticeable.
Aloe vera juice: This is a good remedy for sunburned skin, but it is drying, so it is not recommended to use it constantly on dry skin.
Natural moisturizers
A lot of products moisturize the skin when used as a mask. You can combine different ingredients to get all the antioxidants and nutrients you need.
Avocado: Contains vitamins A, D and E, which perfectly moisturize the skin and reduce wrinkles. Leave the avocado puree on your face for 10-15 minutes.
Banana: The nutrients in banana are good for moisturizing skin and hair. Keep the mask for 20 minutes.
Papaya: Papaya moisturizes and helps get rid of dead cells on the face. Keep the mask on for 15 minutes and enjoy the amazing smell.
Strawberries: Strawberries are rich in antioxidants that slow down aging. Salicylic acid is effective in fighting acne. Strawberries also heal burns and protect the skin from UV rays.
Honey: Honey retains moisture in the skin and nourishes it with antioxidants. It has antimicrobial and antifungal properties. The honey mask will make the skin soft and radiant.
