Natural Skin Care: Part 2

Many people don't know that you can actually apply vitamins and antioxidants to your face directly. Your skin is able to absorb what you put on to it, so by applying herbal salves, teas and facial washes, you're not only cleaning and rehydrating your skin, you're providing it with the additional vitamins it needs.

Citrus, for example, is high in vitamin C. Using lemon juice to clean your face is an excellent way to combat acne and oily skin problems, and the vitamin C is absorbed into your skin as well.

This extra vitamin C makes a great difference for people with older skin, not only gently cleansing, but also providing extra antioxidant protection, which can help the skin look smoother and younger.

Other types of natural face washes you'll want to try include: Aloe Vera – This helps remove dead skin cells and thus acts as a natural exfoliant.

Chickweed – This herb used in tea form is excellent as an acne wash, plus it helps soothe and heal damaged skin.

Kelp, Dandelion and Alfalfa – This herbal combination, taken internally, helps improve hair, nails and skin because it is so rich in the natural vitamins and essential minerals our bodies need.
