Home Based Skin Care

When it comes to skin care, you don’t need to head to your local cosmetics counter or to a dermatologist. You can often find home based skin care cures and remedies that not only cost little, but also provide numerous benefits. Here are some of the ways you care for your skin at home.

The first step to any skin care routine is cleansing. You should be washing your face in the morning as well as in the evening with a gentle soap-free cleanser. This should not be the same cleanser that you use for your body. In fact, you might simply want to rinse your skin with warm water to help remove excess oils and dirt.

To help your skin look more youthful, you can look to your refrigerator for home wrinkle cures. A simple egg white mask can help to tighten your pores as well as to reduce the appearance of fine lines. Simply whisking some egg whites together and applying them to your face (avoiding the eyes), allowing to dry and then rinsing away is all that you need to do.

For wrinkles, try using olive oil as a serum or applying cocoa butter to your skin. You can also make an exfoliating scrub with honey and sugar. Mix equal parts of both until you make a paste and then apply to any rough area on your skin. Rinse away to reveal clean and soft skin that doesn’t cost a fortune.

You can also use oatmeal and water to create a paste to slough away rough skin or as a mask to help rejuvenate a dull complexion. The acids in strawberries, papayas, and lemons can also help perk up your face, so try rubbing some of the juices on your skin for a fruit enzyme peel.
