Skin Care regimen

By: Rachel Broune

As a result of this definition, many people who use natural skin care products, generally make their own products at home from naturally occurring ingredients. There are five basic skin care types: Oily, combination, sensitive, dry and sun-damaged. Your skin type is determined by how much -- or how little -- oil your skin produces. Genes, diet, stress level, medication and even your skincare regimen all determine how much oil your skin produces.

Multi-vitamins, Fish Oil, and Vitamin E are great for healing dry skin. Some people swear by Flax Seed Oil instead of Fish Oil. The fatty acids found in both of these supplements are beneficial to not only skin, but other body functions as well. A lack of Vitamin E in your diet can directly lead to dry skin.

On the cheap to start you can make your own natural scrub just blend a little sugar and olive oil together and leave for 5 minutes than rinse with warm water, your skin will be smooth for days. Do this at least once a week.
Take a 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 Tbsp. of olive oil and 1 Tbsp. of any extract (vanilla or mint). Mix all ingredients, wet your skin, massage the scrub into your skin, leave for 5 minutes and then rinse with warm water.
It's common for red bumbs to happen after starting new skin care treatments/facial. The cleansing actually brings the impurities to the surface. It might be a problem at first, but keep it up.They will go away. This is why they always tell brides not to have facials too soon before the wedding.

Vinegar and mayonaise does make your hair shine. I wouldn't use honey on my hair though, just because it might be hard to get out. You can use honey as a mask on your face though!
Apply 1/2 cup of mayonnaise to damp hair. Work into hair and then cover with a shower cap or towel for up to 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and then shampoo as usual.

The classic definition of natural skin care is based on using botanically sourced ingredients currently existing in or formed by nature, without the use of synthetic chemicals, and manufactured in such a way to preserve the integrity of the ingredients.
