Below are five awesome skin care recipes you can make at home to tackle the most common issues we face - on our face.Learn to use everyday fruits, vegetables and nature-made ingredients that are readily available at your local grocery store for the following treatments.Exfoliate Dead Skin Cells.Dissolve the old dead cell while you clean out your pores with this simple exfoliating blend of pineapple and olive oil.

There are many other natural antioxidants in this special oil that protect your skin from potential damage from the environment including pollution, too much sun exposure and chemicals. One of its contents, Ferulic acid is rarely found in any oil. It protects you from harmful radiation of the sun where it works best.Polyphenols help fight the damage caused by over-exposure to the sun and promote skin repair. There are also the sterols that help in maintaining young looking and moisturized skin. Organic argan oil for skin care additionally helps keep your skin firm and elastic with all its essential fatty acid contents.

Although natural lotion alone is not enough to have great skin, without it you're pretty much going to miss the boat. No matter what other steps you take, you can't get rid of harsh weather conditions or the chemicals that pollute the air, and our skin. A good natural lotion for dry skin protects against the elements, prevents moisture loss while still allowing the skin to breath, reduces the absorption of toxins, and is free of toxic chemicals (some skin care ingredients are even worse than chemical pollutants.)

Banish Blackheads - In Style.This next blackhead mask requires a little more work but is nice treat for when you have time for an herbal mask.Oatmeal, egg white and parsley are used in this blackhead removing home remedy.Boil 1/2 cup water (it's understood that some water will be lost as steam).Turn off water at boil and add a 1/3 bunch of fresh parsley or 2 Tablespoons dried parsley and let steep for 15 minutes.Strain the liquid to filter out the parsley.

While the water is boiling grind 2 tablespoons of oatmeal (rolled oats) in a clean coffee grinder. If you don't have a coffee grinder break apart the oats into smaller pieces using your fingertips.Combine 2 tablespoons of the parsley water to the 2 tablespoons crushed oats to make a paste.Add the egg white, mix into a paste and apply to your face for 10 minutes.

Then came the big guys. Obviously the Elizabeth Arden's and Helena Rubenstein's started out small but the timing was right; women had more disposable income, and sales and marketing departments were starting to pay attention to the wants and needs of women so suddenly a whole cosmetics industry sprang up.The cosmetics industry was, and still is, largely unmonitored and so they could add ingredients to their products and also make claims about them that may not have been in the best interests of their customers. A very frightening 90% of the 10,000+ cosmetic ingredients identified by the US Food and Drug Administration have never been checked for safety by any of the appropriate institutions. Most of them are probably perfectly safe, after all you never hear of people immediately dropping dead after applying face cream, we may very well be dying slowly from the use of the rest!

The Radical Radish - A grated radish with a spoon of vinegar, one spoon of lemon juice and one spoon of honey and mix well. Put them in distilled water and let steep like a tea then wash your face regularly with this mixture.Honey potato - Mix a spoon of honey with an egg white and grated potato.Make a paste of orange peel and rose water. Apply the combination on the skin. This will make you're skin glow.Gently massage an egg white and honey face mask It will eliminate tan from the face.Cleansing with cucumber adds glow to the skin. Mixing cucumber juice with milk, you get a wonderful cleanser.

The inclusion of synthetic perfumes and colors is purely cost cutting, as are all the fillers that are added. Phthalates which are often found in synthetic fragrances are a hormone disrupter known to cause birth defects, damage sperm, cause infertility and cause the feminization of boy babies. So choose your skin care without the nice smells unless the perfume is essential oil based.Now that we are getting a little wiser and understand that our skin is our largest organ and whatever we apply to it ultimately gets absorbed into our bloodstream, we are demanding more natural cosmetics, and the market is turning full circle and starting to address our concerns.Fortunately natural skin care has also come a long way. For a long time most natural products were thick and gluggy and blocked pours, more importantly, they also did not work. Now there are several ranges on the market that can actually do what they claim to do, enhance the skin. Even sun screens are moving away from being mainly chemical based to natural, while still providing 30+ SPF broad spectrum protection and they are much more pleasant to use.

The use of specialised ingredients such as marine collagens, bee venom, and vitamins and minerals are being included in natural skin care ranges added in bases that can easily be absorbed by the skin and so now we are seeing a difference. These products are now not only pleasant to use but they will plump up skin, stimulate collagen and elastin production and as a result will reduce fine lines and make the skin look brighter and firmer. Generally the best of both worlds.So remember if it smells nice, step away from the cosmetic, and where possible use a natural product that incorporates active ingredients such as bee venom, marine collagens and vitamins and minerals.
