If you are looking for skin care products that are both gentle and mild then you could not go past natural and organic skin care products. They are not only suited to all types of skin but are generally free from chemicals and allergens. The most common ingredient found in natural and organic skin care products are herbs and you can either buy the ready made products or if you are really fussy and want to know exactly what goes in your skin care product, you can buy the ingredients separately and make the skin care product yourself.
Herbs
There are a few herbs in particular that are commonly included in natural and organic skin care products. Herbs such as St. John’s Wort, sage, saw palmetto, skullcap, slippery elm, stone root, sweet flag, tea tree oil, and senna.
When you want to get skin that is smooth and irresistibly soft, you will want to stick to herbs such as lavender and calendula as these are both very affordable and will benefit your skin from head to toe. If you have your own herb garden then of course you pick herbs from here but you also have the option of going to the store.
Recipes
There are many different natural and organic skin care products that you can prepare using herbs and other all natural ingredients. Scented dusting powder is one of the most popular natural and organic skin care products, and for this all you need is 1 cup corn starch, 1 tablespoon orrisroot powder, and 1/4 teaspoon essential oil.
To prepare you simply spoon the cornstarch and orrisroot powder into a blender and run it on low speed, then slowly add the essential oil. This powder is now finished and you can use it over your entire body to get a subtle sheen and aroma.
Another of the most popular natural and organic skin care products that you can create at home is the wrinkle remover. For this you will need only one ingredient and that is seedless grapes. You just need to cut a grape in half and then gently crush it on your face and neck. Now you want to leave this on for about twenty minutes, after which you will want to rinse it off with tepid water and pat dry.
To finish off, you would want to use a good quality moisturizer whilst your skin is still moist. The trick is to find a moisturizer that will not leave an oily film residue on your skin. Home made natural and organic skin care products are not only a great way to save you loads of cash but is also a fun way to create your own skin care products. Further more, you will know exactly what is present in your skin care product and that’s a bonus especially if you have sensitive skin.
