Every year, people spent millions of dollars to acquire healthy, ageless and perfect skin. In case you don’t know, the environment, stress, and less than healthy eating habits, all play a major role in the quality of your skin. Holistic and natural skin care is safer and some can be obtained in your kitchen cabinet if it is not possible for you to shop natural.
It’s important to understand that everything that comes in contact with our body affects our health and the condition of our skin. That’s why choosing natural skin care products and ingredients is important. The liver filters the toxins and poisons from the food we eat, but whatever we place on our skin is directly absorbed. This includes deodorant, lotions, gels, cleansers, toners, make-up, perfumes, and more.
The internet provides many answers to healthy skin. You can search through web directory or search engines and the answers are far too many sometimes. Here are a just a few natural skin care health solutions for you to check out:
• For a great moisturizer try olive oil: this healthy fat is good for you, and is great for your skin. You can also use it to soothe sunburned skin.
Rub your skin with baking soda while in the shower once a week, for a smooth, silky feeling. You can also do this on your face to remove black heads.
• Vinegar can work wonders for smelly feet and armpits. Mix water and vinegar 50/50, and use in place of deodorant: it will keep the unpleasant sweat smell away, without any irritation. As for your feet, if you suffer with athlete’s foot, a week of vinegar foot bath will help a lot, sometimes completely getting rid of your condition.
• Fresh tomatoes are great for the oily areas of your face. (Please do a patch test by appying some tomato juice on your arm first, as your skin may be sensitive to it). Rinse thoroughly immediately after using the tomato juice.
• Egg yolk mixed with honey makes for a really great mask: put on your skin, leave it on for 20 minutes, and rinse off. Excellent for sensitive skin. Honey gives a tingling/ticklish sensation, so if you are sensitive to that, use the egg yolk alone.
Natural health remedies can help us some money and avoid the mad chase of more beauty products. This can be good news during the economic crunch which means you can still acquire healthy skin despite a tighter budget.
