10 Natural Tips For Beautiful Skin

natural tips for beautiful skin

Millions of dollars are spent daily on skin care products that claim to be “all natural”. Most of the time they are not – but there’s a reason why they claim to be: because consumers are aware that natural is better.

In this article, I’m going to reveal ten of my best skin care tips so you can achieve beautiful, glowing, vibrant and healthy skin using the power of nature’s wonders.

1. Healthy, glowing, beautiful skin starts with, like most things, good nutrition. Vitamin E is one of the most effective vitamins for skin care and is naturally found in foods such as sunflower seeds, nuts, vegetable oils, tomatoes, pine nuts, wheat germ and avocado. Include these foods in your diet as the first, and most important, step.

2. Secondly, and quite obviously, hydration is important. 6-8 glasses of water will help flush the toxins and pollutants from your body leading to clearer, more glowing skin.

3. Improve your circulation and notice better quality skin. Improving your circulation can be as simple as moving around more often. If you spend most of the day sitting at your desk, then set aside a few moments every 30 minutes or so to get up, move around and increase your blood flow. This will prevent cellulite, skin puffiness and acne.

4. Try making your own homemade face masks. Face masks are one of the best ways to moisturize, eliminate trapped dirt, draw out impurities and remove the top layer of dead skin cells. Here are my top five best homemade face masks.

5. Apply Shea Butter to your skin daily and reap the magical benefits it has for your skin. It protects from the sun up to SPF 6, it is anti-inflammatory, emollient, and humectant and when applied to the face it can reduce fine lines, wrinkles and dry skin. Pick up some raw unrefined Shea Butter from here. 

6. Coconut oil, applied topically, is highly effective at moisturizing, exfoliating, delaying wrinkles and firming sagging skin. Pick up a tub and use regularly to reap the benefits.

7. Applying honey to the skin can create a soothing and smoothing facial to moisturize your skin. Add some oats or some wheat germ oil to help exfoliate.

8. Acne is one of the most common skin complaints, and there are a huge number of natural substances and oils you can apply to reduce or even completely prevent new breakouts. For example coconut oil, jojoba oil and witch hazel. You can also try a face mask with bentonite clay and organic honey to help clear acne.

9. Steam your face daily by placing boiling water in a bowl and putting your head over it with a towel. Add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to enhance the effect.

10. This is a good one! Wine is rich in antioxidants and vitamins and fantastic for the skin. A glass every so often can’t hurt! Alternatively, put some wine in a spray bottle and spray on your skin every day. Alcohol eradicates germs and dries grease.

How To Get Younger Looking Skin Naturally

As our bodies start aging, one of the biggest things we notice is our skin. It doesn’t look quite so young, soft and supple anymore. Sometimes it starts drying out, becoming blotchy, and even wrinkling or sagging. This problem is more prevalent for women going through menopause, because one of the common symptoms of menopause is drier skin.

As we age, extended years of sun damage takes their toll. Our bodies change a bit too, the facial skin particularly stops producing as much oil as it used to, and it doesn’t produce as many antioxidents as it used to either. Both of these are contributing factors to your skin looking older. Combined with many years of stress, squinting at computer screens all day, or frowning in concentration all day while you’re working, wrinkles start developing in those areas of your face where creases form when you make faces. Alot of this can be reduced and sometimes completely reversed though.

There are many natural ways to help keep your skin looking more youthful and healthy though, and herbs and vitamins can play major roles in keeping your skin looking beautiful naturally.

The most important thing you need to help keep your skin looking beautiful and young, is water. Drinking lots of water each day is required to keep your body healthy in general, but many people don’t realize it plays a major role in keeping your skin healthy too. Drinking eight to ten glasses of water each day will provide your body with the water it needs, while also having enough to rehydrate your skin too. And when your skin is hydrated, it’s much softer, smoother and younger looking.

The second most important thing you can do for your skin to stay younger looking naturally, is be sure you’re getting proper nutrition. Nutrition can be controlled by the foods you eat of course, and there are many vitamins, herbs and supplements which help as well.

Many people don’t know however, that you can actually apply vitamins and antioxidents to your face directly too. Your skin is able to absorb what you put on to it. So by applying herbal salves, teas and facial washes, you’re not only cleaning and rehydrating your skin, you’re also able to give it the additional vitamins it needs too.

Citrus for example, is high in vitamin C. Using lemon juice to clean your face is an excellent way to combat acne and oily skin problems for younger people, and the vitamin C is absorbed into your skin as well. This extra vitamin C makes a great difference for people with older skin, not only gently cleansing, but also providing extra antioxident protection which can help the skin look smoother and younger.

Other types of natural face washes you’ll want to try include aloe vera: This helps remove dead skin cells and thus acts as a natural exfoliant; Chickweed: This herb used in tea form is excellent as an acne wash, plus it helps soothe and heal damaged skin; Kelp, Dandelion and Alfalfa: This combination taken internally helps improve hair, nails and skin because the combination is so rich in natural vitamins and essential minerals our bodies need.
