Natural skin care
Natural skin care is a fresh alternative to the chemicals of the past. Freshness is key when selecting herbs to use. When nettles are fresh they are a bright green color. Oat straw is chartreuse green and not yellowish. Always use fresh herbs easily obtainable from a good health food store. Quality stores do not stock too many herbs so as to keep stocked items fresh and cycled through more often.
Natural skin care is becoming more and more the choice of “green-friendly” people. The organic movement is expanding. One can certainly buy organic bananas and tomatoes, but one should be aware that one can now find natural, organic skin care from facial toners, moisturizers, eye creams, cleansers, masks, and body creams.
Natural skin care can involve the use of herbs and teas. Drinking tea helps hydrate the skin and provide vitamins and minerals. Examples are flack alder, used for eruptions of the skin, and bergamot tea which is a body system cleanser. Additional herbs are burdock, yellow dock, dandelion, stevia, horsetail, sarsaparilla, and oat straw.
