Natural Remedies for Beautiful Skin.

We have to realise that just because one big cosmetic company brought out a new moisturiser, face wash, face scrub etc does not make it the best for your skin or the solution for your skin problems.

There is power in the natural products that we take for granted. As a matter of facet, dermatologists have said that most of these off the counter products are manufactured with harsh chemicals such as Hydroquinone, which can cause damage to the skin over a period of time.

The face is the most delicate area of our body. It is also the first thing people see when they look at you. This is the reason why it is more than necessary to give extra care and attention to your face.

Here are some tips on how to use natural products to beautify your skin and keep it looking fresh and radiant.

1.   Shea butter: The local African Shea butter is an all-natural organic product which helps to fade scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, dark spots, blemishes, skin discoloration and improves skin texture.

To make your own natural face scrub, just add some corn flour, brown sugar and essential oils to shea butter. The coarse brown sugar helps to exfoliate your skin and remove bacteria and dead skin cells. Use this once or twice a week to keep your skin clear and avoid over drying your skin.
 

2.   Goat milk: has a myriad of benefits for the skin. In fact, goat milk is now found as an essential ingredient in new skin care products. It conditions and moisturizes the skin. It serves as a great beauty treatment in the bath. Goat’s milk has smaller proteins, making it easily and quickly absorbed in the skin. It is a well known beauty aid in fighting and treating serious skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

To make your own facemask, add some honey to goat milk and rub on your face. Leave on for a few minutes and wash off before.

 

3.   Coconut Oil: Studies have shown that intake of coconut oil can help our bodies mount resistance to both viruses and bacteria that causes illness. More so, it helps fight off, yeast, fungus and Candida. It keeps the skin well moisturised and soft.

  
4. Olive oil: Olive oil is a great skin moisturiser. It contains linoleic acid, which prevents water from evaporating. You can also add a few drops of extra virgin olive oil to warm bath water for a good, healthy soak.

 

       5.  Lemons: Lemon Juice citric acid gradually fades spots and evens out your skin tone. Lemons are a great source of calcium, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium. These minerals and antioxidants improve the appearance and condition of our hair, nails and skin. The antibacterial and antifungal properties make them a natural alternative to treat acne and remove blackheads. You can add a few drops of natural honey to a half lemon and rub on affected area and leave on for 10 minutes before with cold water. They also help to get rid of oily skin.
