Good skin care - such as avoiding the sun, wash the skin gently and use the right moisturizer regularly - can help delay the natural aging process and prevent many skin problems. These simple habits, skin care will help you protect your skin to keep it healthy, shiny and beautiful natural form in the coming years. Here are eight tips to help your skin look and feel is best.
1) Select moisturizers made with vegetable oils. Lotions, creams and body oils that are used must be made with vegetable oils, mineral oil. Vegetable oils (like olive oil, sweet almond oil, corn oil, etc.) contain fatty acids that help moisturize and soften skin. Mineral oil is derived from petroleum and contains nothing that helps nourish the skin.
2) Look for herbs and herbal derivatives in your cosmetics. Herbs and their derivatives (essential oils, extracts, infusions) contain natural chemicals which soothe, tone and help condition the skin. Two herbs that are especially useful in natural cosmetics are Lavender and tea tree. The essential oils of lavender and tea tree two are soft and natural antiseptics.
3) Once a week soak your feet in warm water and gently exfoliate dead skin with a pumice stone. Follow up by moisturizing your feet with a natural foot oil or foot lotion.
4) Every week soak in a tub of bath salts. Salt, especially salts from the Dead Sea in the Middle East, are rich in minerals and help draw impurities from the skin.
5) After a shower or bath, seal in moisture by using a body oil or lotion based on natural vegetable oils.
6) If you have spots and the skin is dry, moisturize your skin morning and night with products containing vegetable oils that are rich in essential fatty acids. Essential fatty acids help to soften and moisturize the skin and can also help soothe minor irritations. Vegetable oils that contain large amounts of essential fatty acids are oil corn oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, borage oil, currant seed oil and evening primrose.
7) Look for toners and astringents that are made without ethyl alcohol, alcohol or isopropyl alcohol. These ingredients are solvents that are extremely dry skin.
8) Every time you wash your hands, moisten with a natural cream or lotion to stay smooth.
