Many people believe that the best skin care products are the natural ones. These products do not contain harsh chemicals or synthetic ingredients, which can have an adverse effect on the skin.
While the majority of people buy their cosmetics, including natural products, some enjoy making beauty products at home.
You can use cream or yogurt as a facial moisturizer, oatmeal to soothe sunburned skin, green tea as an astringent, corn meal as an exfoliant and milk as a moisturizer.
Lots of natural recipes for skin care include honey. It is very effective and easy to use. Add a tablespoon or two to a warm bath for rough, dry skin.
Here are two good recipes using honey - honey cleanser and honey toner:
1. Mix one tablespoon honey with two tablespoons finely ground almonds and teaspoon lemon juice. Rub gently on your face, rinse with warm water
2. In a blender, mix one tablespoon honey with a peeled, cored apple. Apply on your face and leave on 15 minutes, rinse with cool water.
Baking soda is an excellent natural skin care product. Use it for a clean, clear complexion.
One of the best combinations is baking soda and apple cider vinegar. The baking soda cleanses and exfoliates and the apple cider vinegar acts as a toner and astringent.
You can mix two teaspoons of baking soda with several drops of cold water and massage gently into your skin. This mixture works as a cleanser and exfoliant.
