Unlike cosmetic products that often strip your skin of its essential oils, natural products are mild and have absolutely no side effects. The skin is considered to be the largest organ in the human body. Just as other organs in our body require daily nourishment, so does our skin.
Vegetables and fruits contain various natural chemicals that make them better suited for certain skin types. You can mash a carrot and a cucumber and use this paste as a soothing mask for sunburned or sensitive skin. Carrots contain beta carotene which helps to heal the skin while cucumber juice cools the skin and reduces any inflammation. If you have dry skin, you can mix a little coconut milk along with a spoon of fresh cream. Coconut milk contains a large number of essential nutrients while fresh cream helps to moisturise your skin. Oily skin, especially oily facial skin is more prone to acne and therefore blemishes. Use a face tonic made out of honey and lemon juice to eliminate excess oil without leaving your skin rough and dry. Lemon juice has mild bleaching properties and so using this tonic regularly will help to reduce blemishes. You can also use a little potato juice to get rid of old scars.
