Organic skin care

“If it can be done naturally, why to go for artificial means” - this is the basic premise on which ‘organic skincare’ works. Organic skincare is the most natural way of ‘skincare’. In fact, ‘organic skin care’ was probably the first one to be used by man when it first woke-up to the needs of his skin. ‘Organic skin care’ is not only friendlier to skin, but also inexpensive. If exercised in the right way, organic skincare can prevent the occurrence of a lot of skin disorders and can help keep your skin healthy and young-looking for a much longer time.

Organic fruits and vegetables are the most popular things on organic skincare routines e.g. cucumber is very common in organic skincare routines. Turmeric, apple, papaya, ginger are others that find wide use in organic skincare routines. These organic materials have a very refreshing and vitalizing effect on your skin. Almost every skincare book/guide has a section on organic skin care (including the actions of various fruits and vegetables on the skin). So choose the ones that are more suitable for your skin type and start experimenting with them until you finally select the ones that are most suitable for inclusion in your organic skin care routine. It’s important that you use fresh organic fruits/vegetables. Don’t try to utilize the rotten ones for your skin, their only place is the garbage bin.

Milk is known to posses good cleansing properties; in fact, the name of some skin care products contains the word ‘milk’ in them. A combination of milk with ground oatmeal acts as a wonderful cleanser.

Ground oatmeal is especially good for oily skins and is a popular ingredient in organic skin care regimen.  It is used in various combinations e.g. with egg, honey, milk, and fruits, for preparation of organic facial packs.

Wheat germ is another ingredient in organic skincare procedures. It is rich in vitamin E and is known for its exfoliation as well as moisturizing properties. Wheat germ, in various combinations with other organic materials, is used to prepare facial masks for normal and dry skin types. Wheat germ oil is another way in which wheat germ is used for organic skincare.

Yogurt and sour cream are other organic materials that are popular for their exfoliation and moisturizing properties.

The use of organic honey is also popular in organic skin care procedures. It helps in the retention of moisture and helps impart a glowing look to the skin.

Rosewater takes its place as a toner in organic skincare routines.  Lavender water is popular too.

‘Organic skin care’ uses combinations of various organic materials that complement each other and enhance each other’s effectiveness. Moreover, these combinations are also helpful in over-riding the harmful effects (if any) of various organic materials that form them.

Organic skincare is really an art that, once perfected, can give wonderful results in a very cost-effective manner.
