Today, there are virtually endless products that promise flawless skin to people. Unfortunately, most of these products are expensive, have various side effects, and as soon as one stops using them, the problems remerge.
Why Go Natural
It is important to remember that both external and internal factors impact the skin. Thus, what one eats is just as impactful as what one puts on the skin. And whatever the method may be, it has to be natural. Here are a few reasons why –
- Firstly, natural substances are essentially what is used by all beauty products. Instead of applying something processed and derived, it is far better to use the source itself. This gives much more holistic benefits without the side effects.
- Natural products are also more easily available and much cheaper than packaged items. Aloe vera gel, one of the best soothers for skin, is often sold in expensive bottled forms, but cultivating and harvesting an aloe plant is much cheaper.
- Natural products also have the benefit of not just improving one’s skin but also being better for the environment. Let’s take the aloe example from above – a person can save so much plastic packaging every time they use an aloe stem instead of a gel bottle.
Thus, there are a lot of good reasons to choose natural products for skincare.
The Road to Radiant Skin
The best part of using natural products for skin care is that they work! Here are some must-adds to one’s daily skincare routine –
- Water
This simple and often-forgotten ingredient can do wonders for skin from both inside and out. Drinking adequate water daily is the first basic step to healthy and smooth skin. It is also essential that one washes their face at least twice a day with water and face wash to remove all the dust and grime from the face.
- Coconut Oil
Those with naturally oily skin may balk from using any oil. However, the primary reason for oily skin is the body’s glands overcompensate for the skin’s lack of oil. Coconut oil is considered the best for the skin as it deeply hydrates and reduces redness and inflammation.
- Fuller’s Earth
A hidden gem of the Asian culture, fuller’s earth is known to remove blemishes, dirt, oil, and even skin tone, leaving behind nothing but radiant skin. The best way to use this miracle clay is to pair it up with another natural liquid agent, such as rose water.
- Coffee Beans
Like the mind in the morning, coffee can give a big boost to the skin. Rich in antioxidants, natural coffee grounds can be a great way of exfoliating the skin and removing the upper dead layer, leaving behind fresh and clear skin. It is best to follow up with a moisturizer like coconut oil post exfoliation.
There are many other natural ingredients that one can use, which can provide the specific solution being sought. In the end, it is all about being patient and seeing what works best – because something surely will.
