3 Great Natural Skincare Products

If you're new to natural skincare, here are 3 products that are easy to find, and great for your skin...

#1 - Avocado.
Avocados are wonderful for your skin's health, whether eaten or applied directly onto the skin. To make a simple face mask, simply mash up an avocado and apply it to your face. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes, then rinse.

#2 - Honey.
Honey has antiseptic properties, and in the past was used to treat and help heal wounds. Honey is said to be helpful in treating acne and cleansing pores. Just apply it to your dampened face and leave for 5-10 minutes, then rinse with cool water. -Or mix with avocado for a honey-avocado face mask. You can also mix honey and sugar to create a nice face/lip scrub to exfoliate your skin.


#3 - Coconut oil.
Coconut oil can be used as a moisturizer for face and body. I've been using this for about a year, and it has helped my skin become much more soft and smooth.

Whenever you're using natural products for skincare, it's always best to purchase organic products. These are free from many of the chemical pollutants contained in non-organic products. Also, be aware of any allergies you may have and stay away from anything you know is an irritant for you personally. I have personally used all of the applications listed above, and they've all been helpful, but each person is different, so be sure to test carefully and be aware of what works for you! :)
