Create Healthy Glowing Skin at Home

There are many products on the market that claim to have the answer for unhealthy skin. Some of these products amount to nothing more than "snake oil" and others are too expensive for the average person to afford.

Fortunately, creating healthy glowing skin doesn't require the help of commercially marketed products. There are many at-home tips and tricks available to get the desired results from your skin.

You may be pleasantly surprised at how easy, effective, and inexpensive some of these tips are.

Try these tips to welcome healthy skin the easy, at-home way:

1. Create natural masks.

There are many elements in nature that can help give your skin the healthy look you want. Some of those items may already be in your kitchen or garden! If you want healthy, glowing skin, here are some ideas for making natural facial masks:

• Prepare regular oatmeal (not instant), let it cool, and then apply it to your face for about 30 minutes. Once you rinse it off and dry your face, you'll instantly feel the benefits of the exfoliating properties of natural oatmeal.

• Crack some eggs, discard the yolks, and briskly whisk the whites. Then, apply it to your face for 30-45 minutes. While it's on your skin, you'll feel your skin start to tighten. Using an egg mask once a week will result in healthy looking facial skin.

• Raw Aloe Vera is another great option for creating a homemade mask. Simply rub the gel onto your face and let it stand for about half an hour. Aloe Vera is good at removing blemishes and cleansing the skin of impurities.

2. Use a daily facial wash.

A daily face wash made from 1/2-cup cold milk (yogurt if your skin is dry), 1 tablespoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of witch hazel will ensure your face is moisturized and cleansed of bacteria, grease, and impurities that can contribute to unhealthy skin, pimples and blemishes.

3. Perform at-home facials.

It's easy to give your skin beneficial home treatments. One great way is to apply a warm washcloth to your face a few mornings each week.

Allowing the warm washcloth to remain on your face for a few minutes will allow your pores to open to prevent them from becoming blocked with blemish causing oil.

4. Use clean linen.

Your hygiene habits can determine how healthy your facial skin will become. It's important to ensure you have clean linen at all times.

Linens that are exposed to your skin need to be free of bacteria so the germs aren't transferred to the face. Some ideas:

• Change pillowcases at least twice a week.
• Ensure your face is cleansed with a facial wash before drying with the face towel.
• Change the face towels at least twice a week.

These are easy tips that can give you the skin you want without breaking the bank.

And you just may see results faster than with products found on the market!

Try these facial techniques today and enjoy that healthy, glowing skin you've been seeking.

No Worry Ways to Banish Dry Skin

Dry skin can make you look older and feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there are easy and inexpensive ways to keep your skin supple and smooth year round. With a few simple lifestyle changes, you'll be on your way to softer and healthier skin.

Change the Way You Wash

1. Select mild cleansers.

Harsh soaps and hand sanitizers can make your skin feel drier. Deodorant soaps and cleansers with fragrance or alcohol strip away your skin's natural oils. Look for moisturizing bars and soap free cleansers instead.

2. Use a gentle touch.

Massage your skin and scalp lightly rather than using vigorous scrubbing motions. Minimize your use of bath sponges, loofahs, and brushes that could also irritate your skin. Use a towel to pat yourself dry instead of rubbing.

3. Limit your time in the shower.

Those long, hot showers you love may be stripping away your skin's oily layer. Keep showers and baths to 10 minutes or less. Also, lukewarm water will protect those natural oils better than hotter temperatures.

Make the Most of Your Moisturizer

1. Apply moisturizer immediately after washing.

Lather on the moisturizer while your skin is still damp from the shower or from washing your face.

• Oily products are especially effective in preventing the evaporation of water from your skin. You'll be sealing in the moisture and softness.

2. Select the right moisturizer for your skin.

Reach for intensive products if you already have red scaly patches. Greasy formulas like petroleum jelly and oils will give you maximum hydration.

Moisturizers with more water feel lighter, and are usually adequate for normal or oily skin.

3. Update your skin care routine for seasonal needs.

You may need more moisturizer in the winter to counter the effects of cold, dry air and indoor heating. Summertime may come with its own special needs too if you spend a lot of time swimming.

Develop These Easy, Healthy Habits for Your Skin:

1. Avoid scratching.

Moisturizers and cold packs will soothe itchy skin better. You'll also lower your risk of infection.

2. Use fragrance-free laundry products.

Look for alternatives to commercial fabric softeners that contain chemicals that are toxic to your skin and the environment.
• Your clothes will come out softer if you remove them from the dryer while they're still slightly damp or add some vinegar in the wash cycle.

3. Avoid fabrics that irritate your skin.

You may be sensitive to wools or certain synthetics. Shop for clothing you can wear comfortably.

4. Get a humidifier.

Combat dry air with a humidifier. You can get a portable model or one that attaches to your furnace. Just keep it clean to protect yourself from bacteria.

5. Turn down the heat.

Central heating, fireplaces, and space heaters all reduce humidity. Try turning down the thermostat and dressing more warmly.

6. Protect your skin from too much sun exposure.

Although sunshine is an important source of Vitamin D and helps strengthen your immune system, natural heat also dries the skin. Usually, 15 minutes of sun each day is enough to soak up a good store of Vitamin D.

• Skin gets dryer as you age, but you can slow down those effects by using a full spectrum sunscreen when you're not replenishing your Vitamin D.

7. Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

These essential acids have many benefits, including keeping your skin healthy. Indulge in fish, nuts, and olive oil.

8. Engage in regular exercise.

An active lifestyle is good for your skin as well as your overall well being. Aerobic activities and drinking plenty of water will improve your circulation and complexion.

9. See a doctor.

If home remedies fail to work or you have sores that could get infected, get a physical examination. Your doctor can check for underlying conditions or refer you to a dermatologist for specialized treatments.

Get rid of dry skin by changing the way you wash and adopting a healthy lifestyle. You'll love your new complexion and feel smooth all over.
