The skin is more than just the covering of our body. It is the body's largest organ, and it has important roles in ensuring the healthy functioning of the entire body. One of the skin's major attributes is that it is semi-permeable. Because of this feature, certain substances can penetrate the skin while other substances are blocked. Therefore, the skin both protects and nourishes the body. To explain, several toxins are sweated out through the skin and there are lots of nutrients that are absorbed in the body through the skin. Bacteria are blocked from entry in the body, and essential body fluids are contained.
This fact indicates that what you apply to your face and skin is as essential as what you eat. In other words, natural cosmetics are as good as the natural food you eat. Most of the ingredients used in making natural products for your skin are usually found in your kitchen while other ingredients can be purchased from specialty shops selling natural, organic products. The recipes in this book use only organic plant based ingredients.
In order to keep the skin supple and in good condition, effective skin care is needed so it will look beautiful and carry out its function perfectly. Using natural substances like essential oils, fruits, flower waters, honey and others in homemade lotions can provide different skin treatments for all types of skin. The body lotion recipes in this ebook are easy to make and are all natural and healthy. They are also cheaper than the commercially available lotion that you would normally buy. Furthermore, you can experiment with and test other skin care ideas.
