Skin Care Steps

Simple Natural Skin Care Recipes

Healthy skin is something that we all strive for, especially as we get older. Millions of dollars are spent every

year to find the perfect skin care products. While there are many good commercial products available, many items in

your own pantry and refrigerator can be equally effective at giving your skin a much needed boost and cleansing. If

you have sensitive skin, natural skin care recipes can work even better than some of the commercial products at

keeping your sensitive skin clean, moisturized and free from irritation.

Natural Skin Care Recipes for Dry Skin

If you tend to have dry skin, you know how important it is to find products that will moisturize and soften your

skin. But did you know that one of the best softening ingredients is found in your kitchen instead of the bathroom?

Two bananas that are mashed to a smooth texture can be applied to your face and left on for ten minutes. If you

like, you can add a bit of honey to your banana mixture as well. Rinse your face with clean water, and delight in

how soft and supple your skin feels. If you do not use the entire mixture in one sitting, you can refrigerate for up

to a week for additional applications.

A Boost for Normal Skin

If your skin type tends to run pretty normal, there are a number of natural skin care recipes that you can try as

well. For a gentle scrub, you can add plain yogurt to ½ cup of oatmeal or cornmeal to form a paste. Apply to your

damp skin and rinse with warm water. Oatmeal softens your skin, and works very well for those that are easily prone

to allergies and irritation from other products. If you are looking for a mask for your normal skin that will smell

as good as it will clean and freshen, try using a peach and some oatmeal. Cook the peach until it is soft enough to

mash with a fork. Add one tablespoon of honey and enough oatmeal to form a paste. Apply to your skin and let it set

for ten minutes before washing off.

Help for Oily Skin

There are many great natural skin care recipes that can help you to get a handle on your oily skin and prevent

breakouts. You can grate an apple or mash a handful of strawberries, add a bit of honey, and apply to your face for

an effective cleansing mask. You can also make a scrub out of ¼ cup of plain yogurt and ¼ cup of finely ground

walnuts. After wetting your face, gently work the scrub into your skin. Finish by rinsing with warm water.

Your skin deserves the best care that you can offer, but that does not mean that you have to spend a fortune in skin

care products. With a trip to the grocery store or a search of your pantry, you can find many effective natural skin

care recipes.
