Natural Beauty with Organic Skin Care

By: Joelle Applebe

Organic skin care is, quite simply, the act of caring for your skin in a natural and chemical-free way. These methods allow your skin to care for itself, without the use of chemical treatments or synthetic materials. Organic skin care is about using sensible hygiene habits as you lead your daily life. In essence, natural skin care methods are no different from those used in general body care.

Let's explore what these natural skin care measures are.

The first and foremost natural skin care step is: Drink plenty of water. Several glasses of water is needed every day. However, keep in mind that the eight glasses of water "rule" is not based on actual research, and is so often cited that it seems like a fact, but it is not. The amount you need varies in relation to the amount of other sources of water you consume, including vegetables and fruits. Water aids in flushing out the toxins from the body, in a natural manner. It helps in the general upkeep of the body and promotes good health for all organs, not just skin.

Overall cleanliness is another inexpensive method of natural skin care. Daily bathing, wearing clean clothes and sleeping on a clean mattress/pillow are all factors of general cleanliness. After all, clean skin is the key to keeping the skin problems at bay.

Regular exercise is the next thing to consider. Exercise increases the circulation of blood that helps in ridding the body of toxins and keeping you healthy. Exercise also helps in decreasing stress, which is the greatest obstacle of good health.

It's recommended that you follow healthy eating habits and make smart food choices. Certain types of food, such as oily foods, are believed to cause acne. These should be avoided whenever possible. Your diet should include a healthy mix of various foods high in nutritional value. Raw fruits and vegetables are believed to provide freshness to your body and help aid in the removal of toxins.

Good sleep is beneficial in maintaining good health and overcoming stress. As an organic skin care measure, adequate sleep is helpful in preventing slacking of the skin.

Help bring out the natural beauty of your skin by reducing your stress levels. Too much stress can lead to overall health and body damage. Some of the natural beauty tips that were mentioned earlier, like drinking water, and getting enough sleep, are also wonderful ways to reduce stress. Other methods include exercising, listening to music, playing sports and exercising. Yoga provides strong anti-stress benefits, and it quickly becoming a popular activity around the world.

Avoiding unnecessary exposure to the sun (by wearing long sleeved clothes, hat and umbrella) is another natural skin care strategy. Sunscreens are also highly recommended.

You can find information on many homemade and traditional natural skin care methods and products. These natural, easy-to-use methods are quite effective and are typically inexpensive as well.

It's also easy to find natural skin care products in the commercial market. There are natural products that include lavender oil, aloe vera and many more organic ingredients. They provide natural beauty without nasty side effects.
