Natural Cosmetic Treatments You Can Make Yourself
Posted on Feb 25, 2009 | Comments 1
There are so many cosmetic treatments and creams to help you keep your skin looking young and fresh, that at times it can be difficult to choose from and even very expensive.
There are however other more economical and natural ways to keep your skin healthy without having to spend a fortune.
When your skin turns red and irritated due to the cold weather, you may solve the problem by making a simple banana mask.
Mix the banana in a blender then apply this mixture to the dry and irritated patches on your skin, especially on the face area. This mask will replenish your skin with potassium, which is a mineral we seldom find in canned or processed food.
This mask will cure the irritations and reinforce the skin under your eyes and help your skin regain its normal texture.
When we come in from the cold, we all tend to relish in a hot shower or bath. This will obstruct the production of skin oils for some time, so it is important to moisturize the skin regularly.
An oatmeal soak is ideal while taking a bath, just prepare an infusion with an old stocking and fill it with a cup of ground oatmeal and a tablespoon of soda, then put it over the bath’s tap and run the water through your preparation.
The oatmeal is ideal for exfoliating the skin, it will rid your skin of dry dead skin cells, thus avoiding any itchiness (itchy skin) you may feel.

I use a face cream that has powerful antioxidants from real blue berries. . .its from this organic and chemical free company called Made from Earth. It’s the “Three Berry Serum”. . .It has actual berries in it which are mixed with the lotion and applied to your face. Plus, I have sensitive skin and don’t put any chemicals in my body, and this one of the few face creams I have found that is 100% chemical free . .
Seriously - toxic synthetic chemicals in your lotions are not necessary. Human skin is porous which means that substances we put on our skin are absorbed directly into our bloodstream. This means these chemicals may end up in your liver or other organs.
