The market is filled with a zillion cosmetic products and in all price ranges. But how much can the human skin and body bear. Most people usually get bored of what they are using and switch over to new products introducing a completely new treatment to their skin. However it is difficult not to change beauty products since the condition of skin keeps changing in different weathers. In such a scenario a good thing to do is go natural.
Natural ingredients not only beautify and help body but never have any drastic side effects. Heres what you can look for when you go shopping for Natural or Ayurvedic products.
Flowers and leaves
Look for flowers ingredients like rose, mogra, mashobra, lotus, marigold in the crmes u buy. These flower ingredients are very soothing and effective on skin problems. A face mist made of distilled flower nectar is extremely beneficial for skin ailments. It maintains the PH balance without making the skin too dry or too oily. Look for aloe vera content in face washes, sunscreens, gels and lotions. Aloe vera helps fight skin blemishes and acne. It soothes skin. Aloe vera taken orally helps the body too.
Essential oils
Buy essential oils made for specific problems you need to treat. There are a range of essential oils that you can mix with olive oil, coconut oil, crmes and even to your bath water. You can explore neroli, jasmine, orange, lemon, tea tree, neem, lemon grass, rose, sandalwood, lavender, ylang ylnag, jojoba and eucalyptus.
Rose water
Rose water is the most essential ingredient in any natural concoction or Ayurvedic product made for beauty. It can be bought separately too. Real rose water will not have a strong rose aroma that is nauseating. It will be a pleasant rose smell that is refreshing. Different brands sell rose water and you can pick a reputed one for personal use. It helps tone the skin and soothes it. It is a great mix for face packs. To put it straight rose water is a must have in every beauty cabinet.
Milk and Saffron
For those who suffer from dry skin look for natural or Ayurvedic products made of milk and saffron. Milk is a great moisturiser and saffron clarifies the skin. Look for crmes and lotions made of these. You can even choose body washes that have milk as an ingredient. If you want to go completely natural then you can drink milk with a few strings of saffron daily and have an inside out beauty effect.
Neem and turmeric
Neem is the best bet for any skin ailments. And turmeric helps the skin glow. No wonder it is mandatory for Indian brides to be bathed and polished with turmeric before their big D-day. Turmeric based face scrubs can do wonders for the skin.
So the next time you step out in the sun wear an aloe vera sunscreen and once you are back home there is nothing better than a hot water neem bath. Try to go natural with special
ayurvedic products and see the difference for yourself.
