10 Best Ingredients for Your Natural Skin Care
Raw Honey
- Raw honey is one of the best sources of nutrients, enzymes, vitamins and skin-enhancing acids. Raw honey is amazing for reducing breakouts, providing moisturize to skin, and fading scars.
- I love cleansing with honey a few times per week by taking half a teaspoon, warm between hands and spread on face gently, leave on for 10 minutes then rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Apple Cider Vinegar
- Apple Cider Vinegar is one of my most favorite tools for clear, glowing skin. I take it internally every day in water, as well as use it as a toner by mixing 1/3 ACV to 2/3 Water in a bottle- and either spraying it on my face or putting the mixture on a pad to wipe of make up and sweat.
- The days I do not wear make up, I just use this to wipe off my face at night.
- AVC is rich in highly beneficial acids, potassium and magnesium that make it a detoxifying agent that kills pathogens (like bad bacteria), clearing skin problems, cleansing the skin and helping to stop acne/
Essential Oils
- My favorite Essential Oils for skin are Tea tree, lavender, lemon, and frankincense.
- These oils fight breakouts, reduce redness and inflammation on the skin, reduce age spots and even out skin tone, and encourage cell renewal.
- More on my favorite natural spot treatments here.
- I add drops of these oils to my homemade face washes and lotions and have noticed clearer, brighter skin!
- This is the only line of therapeutic grade Essential Oils that I recommend, because the actually work!
Oils
I know this is pretty generic but oils- all different kinds do wonders for your skin! Oils have been the secret of ancient cultures for generations for glowing, clear, youthful skin, and after using them, I would have to agree. I wash my face with oil, and use oils as moisturizers. There are many different oils you can try, but my favorite are. . .
- Coconut Oil , Jajaba Oil, Argon Oil:
- These oils strengthen underlying epidermal tissue, removing dead skin cells, protect skin from sun, and containing antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antioxidant properties.
- Add these oils to the face wash and lotions you already have OR completely make the shift to oil cleansing.
All of these are incredible external skin enhancements- but nothing will make as big a difference on your skin than what you put in your body.
