In todays harsh weather conditions ripping away the moisture of our skin on a daily basis, it has become essential that we indulge in skin care regimens that help us detoxify our skin and keep it smooth and supple. However, we must remember that with a continuous exposure to heat, cold, pollution and dirt to our skin, we must refrain from using chemical based formulations for skin care.
So, how do we take care of our skin without using chemical based cosmetics? With natural skin care remedies of course! There are a number of homemade natural herb or fruit based skin tonics that you can apply on your skin to keep it fresh and blemish free.
You can go for a Pineapple exfoliating body wrap. Just take four large chunks of a pineapple and blend it along with half cup of dried and canned pineapple and three tablespoon full of olive oil. Make a smooth paste of all the ingredients. Apply this mix all over your body and leave it on for fifteen minutes, then rinse off with water and pat dry.
Another effective natural skin care tonic can be made out of papaya. All you need is half a papaya (ripe, peeled and seeded), one eggs' white (beaten) and one tablespoon of honey. Take all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them well until smooth. Now apply all over and leave on (avoiding eye area) for twenty minutes. Rinse and pat dry. Papaya would act as a strong exfoliating agent, the egg white would tone the skin and honey would help retain the moisture.
These two natural skin care tonics would do wonders for your skin. If you have a normal skin, then you can also try applying a mix of lavender, neroli, rose and orange flower water or rose water. If you have an oily skin then try using a pack made of lemon, ylang-ylang or juniper, bergamot to witch hazel and see the difference.
If you have an acne or pimple prone skin then you can use a skin tonic made of ylang-ylang, camomile or geranium, with rose petals and rose water. If you have a hypersensitive skin then just apply a mix made of rose or jasmine, neroli, camomile to orange flower water to make your skin more beautiful.
All these natural skin care remedies would without doubt remove the dirt and excessive oil from your clogged skin pores and restore your skins' natural proactive mantle making it glow with health.
