Natural Skincare

Our skin is the largest organ the body has and it is worth it to take care of it. Your skin reflects how you feel. If you are tired it will show in your skin and if you haven't been eating well it will show in your skin.

To nurture your skin from the inside, make sure you eat loads of fruits and vegetables.

For external natural skin care, try some of these ideas:

• Make your own deep cleansing facial!

  The papaya contains enzymes that help your skin to get rid of dead cells.
  
  Take a papaya, cut it in half and use a fork to make a paste out of it one of the halves. Eat the other half if you like. Put the paste on your face and leave for 10 minutes, then rinse with water.

  
  
  

• Make your own hydrating avocado mask!

  Use a very ripe avocado, cut it in half and mash one of the avocado halves into a paste, apply it on your face. Keep it on for about 10 minutes and rinse with water. Your skin will feel softer than ever.

  The hydrating avocado mask is a skin routine I could not live without.

  
  
  

• Natural skincare with coconut butter!

  Personally I have found coconut butter to be the best body butter/lotion ever! You can get a jar of coconut butter in any health food store. Try it out, it smells and feels sooo good on your skin.

  
  
  

• Honey is also something you can use on your skin. Add some honey on your lips before going to sleep. In the morning your lips won't be dry anymore.

  During the winter months in Finland I usually have dry skin on my nose and cheeks because of the cold. I then smear honey on my whole face before going to bed! In the morning after rinsing my face with lukewarm water my skin then feels really soft - and healthy. But later on in the day the dry skin is back. This is because the very dry indoor air... Plus the ice cold air outside... :(
