Natural Skin Care Products

Mind is All

With the push to go more organic and green with our food and products it is no wonder that more people are looking for natural skin care products. If you pick up a bottle of facial soap or lotion and read the label, the first thing you will notice is now jam packed full of chemicals the products are. Most people cringe when they really consider what is in the commercial products they put on their skin.

It doesn't take much to ditch the chemicals and go green. By using products found in nature such as antioxident rich fruits, vitamin E rich oils, and natural prodcuts like bee's wax you can create many beautiy prodcuts at home. One great book to consider is Better Basics For Your Home which not only speaks about easy to make products for your skin and hair but green cleaning ideas for all over your house. It is easy to make your own products from scratch and also fun. Take a look at how easy it is to make lip balm: bees wax, organic coconut oil, olive oil, and a little bit of vanilla extract. Then you simply poor it into small containers and store the extras in the refrigerator. You can purchase premade kit for making chap stick if you prefer to try out some before you make your own.

You can take it one step further and learn to make your own soap from scratch and ditch the chemical laden soap. You can learn to create your own soap creations by reading The Natural Soap Book. By learning to make soaps from scratch you can tailor your soap to be more or less cleansing depending on your skin type. Plus making soaps has come down to a science; the days of getting burns from lye-based soap are over. Believe it or now lye based soaps are incredibly mild on your skin when they are made correctly.
