Natural Skin Care

Did you know that the skin is considered an organ? Not just any organ either. It is the largest organ on our body and so it has some very specific job duties such as keeping our internal organs safe from the elements, keeps everything in place, protects the internal organs from disease and infections and acts as an indicator to health problems that may occur internally. Your skin does so much for you that you probably never think twice about and so today is your day to start treating it right.

Now that you know the basic reasons why your skin is such an important organ, you really need to take a deeper look into how much exposure and damage that happens daily to it. With each new day, your skin is exposed to many environmental elements such as sun, wind, heat, cold, smog and water. Now you might be thinking that these elements do not sound so bad but in fact they can be very bad for your skin. They will dry out your skin by removing natural moisture, oils and replacing them with toxins.

You may know already that your skin is made up of billions of skin cells but what you may not realize is that as your body is making up new skin cells you also lose skin cells. It’s natural to lose dead skins but when you expose your skin to damage like UV rays you speed up the death of skin cells and you damage deep skin cells which result in the skin sagging and ultimately develops into wrinkles.

Turn on the television today and you are bombarded with infomercials and commercials for skin care products that promise to erase wrinkles or get rid of acne. Although there are many great products out there that do work very well, there are many more products that do not work. Many of these products now contain herbs where even 50 years ago it wasn’t really common to find natural herbs in facial cleansers and moisturizers.

We are not the first generations to use herbal products on our skin. in fact it was discovered that the Egyptians in 3000 BC first used fenugreek and roses on their skin to ward off wrinkles. A common herb found in many skin care products is Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera is a very much loved herb because it has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and immune-stimulating properties.

Most people seem to have a general concept of skin care and so they may sometimes put on sunscreen when they know they will be in direct sun or they will wash their face with soap and water here or there. Sunscreen is an essential weapon to prevent sun damage but do not just lather up on sunscreen on the days you know you will be exposed to the sun such as visiting the beach. you should be applying a daily sunscreen to at least your face and neck in the form of a moisturizer that contains SPF or makeup that has SPF. As far as soap and water facial washings go, you need to use facial cleansers that are designed specifically for the face. Regular soap is much to harsh and drying on the face.
