From time immemorial women have loved to pamper their skin. It is this desire that attracts them to beauty and skin care products that will nourish their bodies. Many ladies are more than happy to invest their time and money on rejuvenating natural beauty products and handmade skin care products. Listed below are some of the most common natural toiletries women regularly use.
Natural Make-Up Remover
Organic liquid Castile soap mixed with water is a pure and natural product that can be used for cleansing the skin to remove make up. By placing a few drops on a wash cloth or in a sink full of water to wash your face will remove make up and cosmetics from the face.
You can also use plain olive or coconut oil to remove mascara and oil based make up as well as waterproof ones. They are great for the skin and will nourish it in a natural way. Microfiber is another beauty product that works really well, it will even remove mascara and other heavy eye makeup without the use of soaps or alcohol based cleansers or toners. Natural microfiber works really well with all skin tones.
However, if you have really oily skin and prefer not to introduce any extra oil to your skin, the liquid castile soap in water is more than sufficient to do the trick.
Moisturizers and Lotions
For some people, pure coconut oil is all they need to help moisturize their face and body. It is a beautiful oil with lots of natural goodness. It contains collagen and naturally occurring lauric acid which is easily absorbed by the skin. If you don't like the scent of coconut, you can buy fractionated coconut oil, which is still natural but has been deodorized to remove the coconut scent. If you have acne prone skin, the coconut oil's anti-bacterial natural properties is known to help this condition.
On the other hand, if you have dry skin and worry about your skin drying out, using natural lotion bars with skin hydrating properties can work magic in helping you prevent aging in a healthy way. You can make your own homemade lotion bar and add some zinc oxide to it for its sunscreen benefits and added protection from the elements.
Natural Exfoliating Products
For certain skin type's sugar or salt scrub are ideal handmade skin care products when exfoliation is needed. You can make your own scrub by simply mixing equal parts of oil, be it coconut or olive oil to sugar or salt and your body exfoliating product is ready. To make your scrub extra special, you can add drops of essential oils like Neroli, Lavender or Geranium that are known to have skin revitalizing properties to the scrub and use it on the whole body.
These days, there are many expensive products available in the beauty and skin care industry with farfetched claims on the outcome to expect in exchange for their outrageous prices. However, more often than not there are plenty of natural alternative that are much cheaper and nourishing for the body that you can make yourself.
