Natural Skin Care

by Sandra Garth
Put simply, ‘natural skin care’ is caring for your skin in a natural and chemical-free way. ‘Natural skin care’ dictates that the skin should be able to take care of itself, minus any assistance from synthetic materials/ chemicals. Makes sense, right? ‘Natural skin care’ is about implementing good habits as a way of life. These good habits are pretty much the same ones you’d follow for weight loss; but you probably guessed that by now. So let’s see what these natural skin care measures are.

At the top of the list is – Drink lots of water. Around 8 glasses of water is a must everyday. Water helps the kidneys to do their job which is to filter and remove toxins from the body. If the toxins are out, this is great for your for the internal organs as well as the largest external one, the skin

 

.

General cleanliness is another inexpensive natural skin care practice. Daily showers or baths, wearing clean clothes and sleeping on a clean mattress/pillow are all part of general cleanliness. After all, clean skin is the key to keeping skin disorders at bay. You might not think of clean linen as a plus, but think again. If you’re sleeping on dirty, grimy pillowcases and sheets, you’re just rubbing that into your skin. Now does it make sense

 

?

Don’t rule out regular exercise. Exercise increases blood flow, another way of getting rid of toxins and keeping you healthy. Exercise also helps in beating stress which is the worst enemy of good health.

I can’t say enough about healthy food and eating habits for natural skin care. Greasy, processed foods contribute to skin eruptions and should be avoided as much as possible. Your diet should be a healthy mix of nutrients, and one of the best ways to get them is from raw fruits and veggies. Along with this, toss in a good night’s sleep. Adequate sleep and rest helps to beat stress. We all know that stress can overload your hormones and one of the first places it will show up is on your skin, specifically, your face.

No matter what region of the country you live in, avoid excessive exposure to the sun. For those of us in the Midwest we still need to be concerned. Just because the temps aren’t high doesn‘t mean the danger is gone. Sunscreen is still recommended.

One last word of caution; everything that’s labeled natural isn’t always the best. Check out the labels on so-called natural products and you’ll find a long list of things you can’t pronounce and don‘t necessarily want on your skin. Fitness and beauty both start from the inside out.
