Introduction To Natural Skin Care

By: Juliet Cohen

Men usually don’t care about our skin. It’s a simple fact. Dehydration is the loss of water in the body, sometimes severe enough to cause shock since the human body is composed of seventy five percent water. They are also particularly important to people with inflammatory conditions such as eczema and acne, and also for people with dry skin. To avoid dehydration, you should drink at least eight glasses of water a day, approximately 64 ounces of water, more in really hot weather. Drinking alcohol also leads to dehydration since alcohol is a diuretic. Diuretics draw water from the body, and lower the water level in the body. A good sleep during the night helps greatly in maintaining moisture in the skin. At least six to eight hours of sleep is needed for the body to function at its peak.

Most people lack fiber in their diets - the average person eats only 12 g of fiber a day. Essential fats are thought to keep your heart healthy, fight inflammation, and possibly prevent cancer. Cold water fish - Sardines are a good source of essential fats. Salmon is another good source, however these salmon accumulate toxic polychlorinated biphenyls (otherwise known as PCBs) in their body fat during the 95 percent of their lives they spend at sea. Choose a foundation that seals in moisture, such as one that contains silicone, silica, or glyconucleopeptides. Women and men need to follow a daily skin care regime in order to maintain the health and vitality of their skin. Honey, olive oil and a mixture of turmeric and sandalwood paste are all very effective in rejuvenating dry , parched skin.

Several natural aids have been found useful in promoting healthy and beautiful skin. Massage helps the skin to absorb oils and creams easily. Lime juice is an important natural aid for healthy skin. Take four tablespoons each of lime juice and iced water. Saturate cotton pads in this water and place over your closed eyelids for 10 minutes. Mix a teaspoon of olive oil with an egg. Smoothen the face and neck with it. Let it remain till the skin gets dry. Apply small circular movements to the chin area, using your thumbs. Tomato, used externally, is good for getting a good complexion. Make a paste of almonds with mild cream and fresh rosebud paste. Apply it daily over the face. This softens and bleaches the skin and nourishes it with the choicest skin-food.
