Planning your skin treatments using common ingredients, available in your kitchen or garden, can be as much or more effective than resorting to regular cosmetics. Also it can help you save a good amount of money.
Steps
Step 1. Start by making an inventory of potential natural skin care ingredients in your pantry and refrigerator
Among the most common we can include: sugar, aspirin, eggs, honey, oatmeal, olive oil and tea bags.
Step 2. Choose the ingredients that best suit the type and needs of your skin
Oily skin should focus on the more astringent ingredients, such as sugar scrubs, while sensitive skin should include emollient elements, such as olive oil, dairy products and honey.
Step 3. Develop a natural skincare routine by incorporating a recipe for each of these products:
cleanser, scrub, tonic and moisturizer, and uses the natural ingredients best suited to the type of your skin. A person with normal skin might use a sugar scrub followed by an olive oil-based moisturizer.
Step 4. Start collecting natural skin care recipes and experiment with the ingredients to determine which ones are best for your needs
Step 5. Most skins benefit from a weekly face mask
Try making a highly nutritious one by mixing an egg, a sachet of unflavored gelatin, lemon juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. Let it sit on your skin for 10 minutes.
