Clear Skin Face

Different skin care tips you can do to keep your skin glowing and looking beautiful without spending a lot of money.
Do you remember when you were a child and your skin had that natural glow? Even as a teenager,skipping the pimple phase,you had beautiful skin.Then when you turned older you looked in the mirror one day and asked yourself,what happened to my glowing skin?What happened to that glowing skin is it's not naturally glowing anymore:it needs your help.You are at the age where you have to make some type of effort to get and keep that glow.If we were smart,we would start taking care of our skin much sooner,but most of us don't.We wait until we wake up one day and realize we don't look like that child or teenager anymore.
How do we get our skin back to that natural glow?Simple.Start taking care of your skin right now.Put yourself into a self-care ritual of doing the following things to have beautiful skin again.You should wash your face twice a day,everyday.Every morning and every night.Dove beauty bar is great for any type of skin to clean your face with daily.
Always apply some type of moisturizer after you wash.On a daily basis before you apply your makeup or even if you don't wear makeup,you should put on a moisturizer with at least a SPF 15 in it.It doesn't matter if it's winter,spring,summer or fall,a moisturizer with SPF 15 will protect your skin from sun for all seasons.The sun can do a lot of harm to your skin if not protected.Never go to sleep with your makeup on.No matter how tired you are,you should always clean your face completely of all makeup every night.Every woman should use some type of night cream and eye gel every night before they go to bed.
Following these simple steps of cleaning your face,moisturizing your skin and applying night cream and eye gel will help you to get and keep that glow.Once a month you should treat yourself to a facial.If you can't afford to go to a spa,do it yourself.To get glowing skin with the feel of a spa facial at home,the first step is to steam your face.Boil water until steaming hot,pour into a bowl and place face over the bowl with a towel completely covering your face for about fifteen minutes.Then apply a facial mask treatment bought off the counter and your skin will feel and look radiant.If you don't want to buy a facial treatment off the counter,create your own home facial mask.
A very easy one is to mash a whole banana,add a tablespoon of honey and a drop of orange juice.Mix and apply to your face for about fifteen minutes.This works as well as something you buy off the counter.The most important step of all is to drink plenty of water.Drink six to eight glasses of water daily to keep your skin hydrated.This will make your skin glow and you will look more healthier than ever.Start now taking care of your skin,even if you're twenty or forty-five.Now when you look in the mirror,you won't have to ask that question,what happened to my glowing skin? You're see your skin glowing as if you were a child or teenager again.

Natural Herbs and Supplements for Acne
Herbs and botanicals can be found in almost every product we use today,and for go reason.They do in fact serve many purposes.They can be found in cosmetics,soaps,and everything in between.In fact,there are even a bunch of acne treatments that tout natural herbal remedies.
We believe that everything you read on a products packaging or in a magazine should be researched before you spend the money on these“all natural”herbs and supplements.The fact of the matter is that most products are far from all natural.This is why it is so important that you research each and every product before you buy.Many products are just glorified creams and vitamin supplements.
With that being said,there are in fact many natural herbs that can be used to treat acne,as well as many other conditions.So which ones work?Hopefully this article will guide you in the right direction.
Botanicals
Botanicals and herbs are essentially the same thing,and are often used in the place of one another.But by definition an herb is an herb(a particular kind of plant),while botanicals are anything that comes from a plant including flowers,herbs,and roots just to name a few.
Calendula:Also known as the pot marigold,calendula is actually commonly used in home gardens and nurseries across the country.The flowers of this plant can be used to compliment many creams and lotions.
Green Tea:As you probably guessed,this substance is from the green tea leaf.Green tea is said to have many benefits,including acne.
Tea Tree Oil:The tree tea plant finds its home in Australia,where it has been used as topical acne treatments for a long time.Active ingredients found naturally in the oil from this tree has been proven to slow the spread of acne causing bacteria,or P.acnes.Many believe this to be the most effective botanical acne treatment.
Aloe Vera:Aloe vera is one of the most popular botanical treatments,and has been for some time.Aloe vera helps you shed dead skin,and stimulates the growth of new skin.At the same time,it helps smooth the skin to reduce inflammation and irritation.
Herbs
There is an extremely large selection of herbs that can have positive effects on acne.But be careful,herbs can have profound,and sometimes dangerous effects and side effects.We suggest to talk to your dermatologist before trying any herbal treatments at your own discretion.
Over the Counter Herbal Remedies
As we mentioned earlier,many cosmetic products contain an array of botanicals.While the accessibility of these products is great,it also floods the market with a bunch of junk products that get little benefit for the botanicals they contain.The most popular botanical ingredient found in cosmetic products today is green tea.
Vitamins and Mineral Supplements
Many botanical products can attribute their effectiveness to vitamins and minerals,so why not go directly to the source.Supplements follow this exact concept.Supplements are essentially extracted and concentrated vitamins and minerals,as well as any number of other ingredients.
Vitamin A & B:Vitamin B and vitamin A are both found in most creams,gels,and lotions.It is particularly effective for controlling inflammation.
Zinc:Zinc supplements and extracts come in both topical and oral applications.Both methods are quite good at reducing inflammation.It can also prevent future cases of acne by opening up the pores.A side effect of zinc is nausea and my interact negatively with medications you may be taking.
Vitamin C:Vitamin C with bioflavanoids are the only C vitamins that have a direct effect on inflammation.
Vitamin E:Vitamin E plays an interesting role in the treatment of acne.Rather than directly having an effect on acne,this vitamin actually helps the body absorb all the others.
Of course supplements aren’t the only way you can absorb the vitamins and minerals your body needs to naturally fight acne.By ensuring you are getting the nutrients from your food,you are ensuring the long term health of your skin.
