Natural Skin Care: What It Is and Why Use It

Natural and organic skin care can be as effective as pricey salon and medical procedures and the results will last much longer. Unfortunately, there is very little organized information on exactly how to effectively take care of your skin without using chemicals. Besides, we are used to thinking that skin care means only creams and lotions and maybe weekly masks but in reality it has much deeper meaning and many more tools:

Tool 1: Nutrition is the most important aspect. Watch what you eat and drink to achieve the best results: vegetables and fruit (especially greens), vitamins C and E acting as natural antioxidants, Omega-3 in seafood and restricted amounts of sugar will help immensely. National Research Council also recommends drinking 1 ml. of water per each calorie consumed (I will leave the mathematics up to you).

Tool 2: Sleep is a powerful skin care method. While we are sleeping our skin cells are at work: they are being renewed almost twice faster than during the day. As a result, skin gets rid of many toxins and wrinkles and gets enriched with collagen. Lack of this protein (collagen) is the reason for dry skin, lines, cellulite, dull hair, etc.

Tool 3: Watch what skin care products you purchase. The first third of components listed on a product’s label are usually the components that represent about 90% of the content. It is important that your product of choice contains more natural and organic ingredients than unknown chemicals. A lot of leading cosmetic manufacturers use a wide range of natural and organic ingredients (in addition to water, salts and minerals), such as red tea from South Africa, green tea, ginseng, sea algae, etc.

Tool 4: Try simple natural recipes first before rushing to a mall and spending a fortune on the latest skin care items. As simple as they seem, they might work effectively (for example, elimination of under eye swelling and circles with the help of cotton balls and black tea). It is important though to make sure that you are not allergic to the products you use and read the recipe correctly.

Stay young, healthy and beautiful!
