Introduction
Natural skin care means caring for the skin using naturally occurring ingredients such as flowers, fruit, fruit peel, herbs, roots etc. combined with natural preservatives and emulsifiers. Many people find that natural skin care is best when products are made at home, either from ingredients grown at home, or obtained from a source knows as being purely organic and trustworthy.
History
A big benefit of using natural skin care products is that they do not harm your skin in any way and have no side-effects (except of course if you are allergic to any ingredients). It is true that some of them can be priced rather high because of the ingredients that go into them and because of the labor exerted on each product (these are usually not made on a very large scale). Natural skin products give better results in the long run. Moreover you can always find natural skin care products at reasonable prices though it may take a little bit of searching.
A quick online search will lead you to many recipes for natural skin care products that can be prepared easily at home, and at very affordable prices. You can easily prepare soaps, shampoos, moisturizers, scrubs, body creams and other natural skin care products at home using nothing but naturally grown plants and using natural ingredients such as oils, salt, beeswax etc.
However, if making your own skin care products doesn't seem to appeal to you because you cannot easily find ingredients or don't have the time or for any other reason, there is no need to be disappointed. Many large brands have realized the potential of natural skin care products and have seen how people seem more and more inclined to buy them. Therefore, they have presented to their customers a range of products that are based only on naturally-occurring ingredients, prepared without any chemicals that are likely to harm the skin and preserved in natural ways.
