Eat organic, it is good for you.
That is what you are told, but can you be sure that the food you buy is organic? The debate is ongoing.
Your concern here is for the external benefits of organic skin care.
If a product is organic you assume that it is natural, meaning it originates from nature and has not been artificially processed.
Then it is reasonable to assume that caring for your skin with naturally sourced products is the right thing to do.
Is Organic Safe? Just because something is derived from natural it may not necessarily agree with your skin type.
You need to know whether or not your skin is normal, dry, oily or a combination of any of these types.
So be selective and when in doubt carry out your own skin tests before deciding which organic skin care programme suits you.
What organic materials do you use? The world is your oyster when it comes to organic materials.
Fruits and vegetables abound in plenty and these are used extensively in the manufacture of skin care products.
Before applying any products to your skin you need to cleanse it and what better than the use of organic materials.
Depending on your skin type olive oil is one of the purest ways to cleanse your skin.
Although you may have used it to remove excess earwax it has wonderful skin cleansing properties.
Particularly gentle when cleansing a face full of pimples.
In continental Europe olive oil is used in cooking and the practice is gathering momentum worldwide.
One of the reasons for its culinary use is that it is good for your heart.
So it has a double use, apply it externally and take it internally for a healthy heart.
Although you use it is beverages, in cooking and drink it, you may not regard it as having cleansing properties; it is milk.
You can use it on its own or combine it with other organic materials.
For instance, when you mix milk with oatmeal to form a paste, you can put it on your face as a facial mask.
Another wonderful way to moisturise your skin is by applying a milk and honey mixture.
Honey itself gives your skin an amazing feel and a healthy look.
Now that you have a few ideas on cleansing and moisturizing procedures you will want to know how to exfoliate your skin.
Again the procedure is simple and inexpensive.
Wheatgerm, which is rich in Vitamin E, has a moisturizing and an exfoliating action which is perfect for routine organic skin care.
Can you beat Mother Nature? Difficult but you may prefer to take the easier option and try some of the naturally prepared treatments.
