The cold and blustery winter months are coming upon us and for many that means problems with their skin. Whether you suffer from dry skin all the time, or your skin becomes chapped from being outdoors in the wind or from forced indoor heating, or any other number of skin issues, I’m sure you wished there was a cure for what ails you. 

Did you know there are actually many ways that you can care for your skin, naturally without having to purchase anything from your local drug or department store?  That’s right, you have the ability to do your own skin care regimen at home for pennies, because most likely you already have everything that you need right in your own home.

Some ways that you can care for your winter skin naturally include:

Exfoliating:  Especially if you have dry skin, exfoliating that old, dead skin can help allow moisture which you need to get into your pores once you have ridden them of those dead, flaky skin cells.  To exfoliate you will need a physical agent like ground walnuts or apricot hulls, or an enzyme, which basically eats dead skin cells.  There are even foods that are rich in enzymes which you can use to create your own at home mask to use in the process of exfoliation.  These foods include pineapple and papaya. Milk also has fatty acids that mildly exfoliate. This is why the traditional milk bath has been so popular. Read the rest of this entry…

There are so many more than 10…I can’t possibly list them all. Natural skin products should be free of chemicals, preservatives, fragrances and best if certified organic. Most of the natural skin products from these skin care lines are some of the safest according to their ratings at the Skin Deep website, a site dedicated to educating the consumer about cosmetic safety.

If you are new to this game and have been using chemical laden skin care products from your local pharmacy that strip your skin of it‘s natural oils and cause more skin problems, you will be pleasantly surprised by the immediate results achieved when switching to an all natural skin product.

Another important factor I used when listing these natural skin products was price. Many products in the following natural skin product lines can be purchased for under $30; some as low as $5. So are they worth it? Inexpensive, natural, free of chemicals, effective, and smell wonderful. I would say, definitely worth it.
