DIY Tried and tested skin care remedies

Skin:

Skin is the largest organ of the body, it gives a flexible covering to every part of the anatomy. A Healthy body refers to healthy skin. If your body is not in a good state it's tough to have healthy, clear, and glowing skin. The kind of skin is identified by genetics and can change with time and age. 

There are five types of skin

1. Oily skin
2. Dry skin
3. Combination of dry and oily skin
4. Sensitive skin.

Chemical beauty products:

In most beauty products, there are more chemicals than one could even think. Some of the grooming aids are lotion, shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, perfumes, cleansing products, etc. The daily usage of these products makes the skin dead and dry and your skin pores get clogged. And people having sensitive skin can suffer more. Before buying any readymade product try to read there ingredients for the confirmation that they are clean from the certain chemicals such as sulfates, parabens, and Phthalates etc.

Are Natural products good for your skin?

As compared to artificial products, natural skin care products are way safer. This is because the natural ingredients in the product are safer than products that contain synthetic ingredients. The issue with synthetic skin care products is they are harmful to some individuals’ skin. The ingredients of these products can cause redness, roughness, swelling to itchiness because of this they are better avoided.
