Organic skin care
“If it can be done naturally, why go for artificial
means” - this is the basic premise on which ‘organic
skin care’ works. Organic skin care is the most natural
way of ‘skin care’. In fact, ‘organic skin
care’ was probably the first one to be used by man when
it first woke-up to the needs of his skin. ‘Organic
skin care’ is not only friendlier to skin, but also
inexpensive. If exercised in the right way, organic skin care
can prevent the occurrence of a lot of skin disorders and
can help keep your skin healthy and young-looking for a much
longer time.
Organic fruits and vegetables are the most popular things
on organic skin care routines e.g. cucumber is very common
in organic skin care routines. Turmeric, apple, papaya, ginger
are others that find a wide use in organic skin care routines.
These organic materials have a very refreshing and vitalizing
effect on your skin. Almost every skin care book/guide has
section on organic skin care (including the actions of various
fruits and vegetables on skin). So choose the ones that are
more suitable for your skin type and start experimenting with
them until you finally select the ones that are most suitable
for inclusion in your organic skin care routine. It’s
important that you use fresh organic fruits/vegetables. Don’t
try to utilise the rotten ones for your skin, their only place
is the garbage bin.
Milk is known to posses good cleansing properties; in fact,
the name of some skin care products contains the word ‘milk’
in them. A combination of milk with ground oatmeal acts as
wonderful cleanser.
Ground oatmeal is especially good for oily skins and is a
popular ingredient in organic skin care regimen. It is used
in various combinations e.g. with egg, honey, milk and fruits,
for preparation of organic facial packs.
Wheat germ is another ingredient in organic skin care procedures.
It is rich in vitamin E and is known for its exfoliation as
well as moisturising properties. Wheat germ, in various combinations
with other organic materials, is used to prepare facial masks
for normal and dry skin types. Wheat germ oil is another way
in which wheat germ is used for organic skin care.
Yogurt and sour cream are other organic materials that are
popular for their exfoliation and moisturising properties.
Use of organic honey is also popular in organic skin care
procedures. It helps in retention of moisture and helps impart
a glowing look to skin.
Rose water takes its place as a toner in organic skin care
routines. Lavender water is popular too.
‘Organic skin care’ uses combinations of various
organic materials that complement each other and enhance each
other’s effectiveness. Moreover, these combinations
are also helpful in over-riding the harmful effects (if any)
of various organic materials that form them.
Organic skin care is really an art that, once perfected,
can give wonderful results in a very cost effective manner.
