Put simply, 'natural skin care' is caring for your skin in a natural and
chemical-free way. 'Natural skin care' advocates enabling the skin to take care
of itself (without any assistance from synthetic materials/ chemicals). 'Natural
skin care' is about inculcation of good habits in the way you lead your day to
day life. A lot of natural skin care measures are actually the same as those
for body care in general.
So let's see what these natural skin care measures are.
Well the first and the foremost natural skin care measure is -- 'Drink a lot of
water'. Around 8 glasses of water is a must everyday. Water helps in flushing
out the toxins from the body, in a natural way. It helps in the overall upkeep
of the body and promotes good health for all organs (not just skin).
General cleanliness is another inexpensive way of natural skin care. Daily
shower, 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 the
skin disorders at bay.
Regular exercise is the next thing on the cards. Exercise increases the flow of
blood that helps in getting rid of body toxins and keeping you healthy. Exercise
also helps in beating stress which is the worst enemy of good health.
Healthy food and eating habits are also recommended for natural skin care. Some
type of food (e.g. oily food) is know to cause acne and should be avoided as
much as possible. Your diet should be a healthy mix of various nutrient
providing foods. Raw fruits and vegetables are known to provide freshness to
your body and help in getting rid of body toxins.
A good sleep is also instrumental in maintaining good health and in beating
stress. As a natural skin care measure, a good sleep delays slacking of skin.
Beating stress is another natural skin care therapy. Stress causes overall
damage to body and health. Drinking a lot of water, getting a sound sleep and
exercise has already been mentioned as stress busters. Indulging in a warm
bubble bath, listening to music and playing your favourite sport are also good
ways of beating stress. Yoga is yet another way of beating stress; it is fast
gaining popularity amongst the masses.
Avoiding excessive exposure to sun (by wearing long sleeved clothes, hat and
umbrella etc), is another natural skin care strategy. Sunscreen lotions are
also recommended as necessary.
A lot of traditional and home made natural skin care products/ measures are
also known to be very effective. Such measures are not only natural and
easy-to-follow, but also relatively inexpensive.
Besides that, a lot of natural skin care products are available in the
commercial market. These include things like lavender oil, aloe vera etc.,
which don't have any side effects.
