Natural Skin Care

Do you know that you can make use of what you have in your kitchen to care for your skin? Using natural ingredients is one of the most trusted and effective ways of caring for the skin. You can make your own facial scrub for exfoliation and mask for deep cleansing from home. You don't have to sped too much to have clear skin. Organic or natural ingredients are safer and more effective because they are richer in vitamins and nutrients that are good for the skin. You have to be careful of allergens though and avoid ingredients you are allergic to so you don't cause any damage to your skin. Let me share with you some of the tried and tested homemade facial care recipes that won't hurt your pocket.

If you are not sure if you are allergic to the ingredients you use, do a patch test first for safety. Always remember that keeping a healthy and clear skin means you have to work for it. Spend time caring for your skin to achieve the flawless skin you want.

Great post! I love the homemade facial care recipes you shared because they are easy to do and the ingredients are easy to find and readily available. Doing a patch test for allergy is indeed a good practice for safety. I have very sensitive skin so I cannot use all the chemical based products, even the good ones. My skin gets irritated to almost everything so I'm really careful of what I put on my face.

I'm glad that you like them Elena! Allergy test is really important if you don't know what you are allergic to. I am allergic to cucumber but before I knew that, I used to put cucumber slices on my eyes to freshen it up and help with my eye bags. I had sore eyes after doing but I thought that it was only a coincidence. I was not convinced that I can be allergic to any fruit because that was the first time I reacted to anything because I am not that sensitive. So I did it again and my eyes again hurt so badly . That was the last time that I used any cucumber products near my face. I'm glad that I can still eat them though
