Organic Facial

 

 

An organic facial care regimen can be easily achieved by focusing on four different areas - cleansing the skin, skin toning, mineral facial masks and use of a natural moisturizer.

 

Organic Facial Cleanser

 

This organic facial product is used as a first step, superficial cleaner for the skin to remove excess dirt, sebum, pollutants, makeup and other harmful elements from the skin. For an effective organic cleanser, look for those that are vegetable based with Rosehip or wintergreen oil which serve as a natural exfoliant and helps to clear and open pores.

 

Facial cleansing with organic facial products should not be performed more than twice a day and and it is preferable to limit yourself to once a day at night. Those who live in urban environments will especially benefit from this approach since harmful chemicals are exposed to the skin more often in cities.

 

Like any part of your organic facial care regimen, the products you use should not upset the natural pH balance of the skin and cause excessive dryness or flaking. Finding a facial cleanser which contains aloe or jojoba can help to avoid this situation.

 

Organic Facial Toner

 

When choosing a toner, there are certain organic ingredients that you should be on the lookout for, primarily Witch Hazel and Rosemary. Witch Hazel is a natural plan extract that is a very effective facial treatment for opening pores and remove traces of dirt, oil and makeup. Rosemary provides facial astringents and is a good choice to stimulate the skin and allow more oxygen in. After using your cleanser and toner, you will end up with skin that clean, clear and ready for an organic facial mask.

 

Organic Facial Masks

 

The most beneficial forms of facial masks contain clay. Clay from many parts of the world can be found in these organic products. Among the best clays that are available are Rhassoul, Dead Sea and Kaolin clay. These have been used in holistic skin care for a very long time. These clays are rich in trace minerals and can absorb significant amounts of oil and fluid from the skin.

 

In addition to using the natural facial mask by itself, other natural ingredients such as antibacterial essential oils and can be added to the clay prior to application. These added elements can further benefit the skin by removing mild discolorations over time and tightening the skin for a more youthful appearance as well as help to detoxify the underlying connective tissue reducing cellulite.

 

Natural Facial Moisturizer

 

The final step in an organic facial treatment program is to use a lightweight moisturizer containing ingredients such as pure aloe gel, seaweed and white grape juice. These ingredients will nourish and hydrate the skin and lock in the benefits your skin has received from the previous treatment steps.

Another beneficial ingredient to look for is the mineral titanium dioxide which can add sun protection (some organic facial moisturizers have an SPF (skin protection factor) of up to 30 which equals many sunscreen products on the market.

 

By following a four step organic facial care regiment as outlined here, you will be well on your way to better looking skin without exposing it harmful irritants and contaminants. Be sure to also experiment with different products like organic soap and make sure that you are using ingredients that are designed specifically for your skin type.

 

Add grape juice to honey so that it has enough consistency to be applied as a paste. Let sit on the face for 20 mins and rinse using cold water and mild scrubbing action to exfoliate facial skin.
