How many times do you go into chemists or supermarkets and find huge arrays of overpriced skin care products? have you thought of natural skin care recipes? They are cost effective and you know exactly what ingredients are going into the product you are using on your own skin. An added benefit could be the opportunity to make some money selling the effective products you produce.

Lifestyle Recipes

There is more to Natural skin care recipes than just adding some stuff in a bowl and mixing it together. For the best skin care, other factors need to be taken into consideration as well. Taking care of the inside as well as the outside is crucial to healthy skin. Taking care of your diet and your lifestyle can lead to great rewards.

Two natural recipes for skin care that can be developed through good habits are exfoliation and a healthy diet. Exfoliation can be done with a dry brush, which should just be lightly rubbed on the skin after waking up. This removes dry skin cells from the skin and makes for cleaner skin. A healthy diet is also a key to healthy skin. Plenty of water, plenty of fiber, avoiding inordinate amounts of sugar, and maintaining a good balance of healthy fats are all important to good skin care.war

Recipe Ingredients

While good habits will go a long way towards giving you healthy skin, there are some more traditional natural recipes for skin care. Most can be used for basic elements of skin care like moisturizing and reducing the amount of oil on your skin. While a number of these recipes can be found on the internet or in books, there are a few that seem to work best for the highest percentage of people.

If you have oily skin, avocado is a great active ingredient. Mash the pulp of an avocado, seperate an egg and retain the white. Put the avocado, egg white and a dash of citrus juice (lemon is best) into a blender and mix well. This will leave you with a thick green mudlike substance. Wash your face and neck well, pat dry with a towel then apply a thick layer of the paste. Leave on for 20 minutes. The result should leave your face feeling clean and less oily for at least a couple of days.

More Natural Recipes

There are even more natural recipes for skin care when it comes to moisturizing. One great one is to put pure honey on your skin and then create a sauna environment before washing it off. You can also take the avocado peel that you just used to remove oil from your skin and gently wipe it on your face. Then wash it off by splashing your face with cold water. There are hundreds of natural recipes for skin care out there. They are all cheaper and much more effective than the products you can buy in the store. Don’t be afraid to try some!
