Overview

Nowadays when chemistry plays a major role in our lives, words like natural products and natural means sound very tempting. However, the natural skin care products that the market offers us today aren't as natural as they may seem. Even the most costly skin care products using time-tested recipes for beauty and consisting of vegetable oils and plant extracts only contain tenth or even hundredth parts of natural substances. And as such, the products cannot do without preservatives. In fact, natural oils are quickly oxidized and vegetative emulsifiers present a fine environment for bacteria to thrive in. Many aromatizes, dyes and preservatives have a questionable reputation. Lifeless chemicals will never rejuvenate skin. More so, luxurious skin care products aren't affordable to everyone, not to mention that no one can be sure that they won't cause harmful side effects (allergic reactions, acne, dermatitis, etc.). But even the use of active vegetable substances in skin care products isn't as efficient as those substances are when remaining inside a plant. In fact, herbs work effectively only due to the connection between biologically active substances and other components. Using natural products correctly can ensure that they never cause harm or any side effects. For many millennia women have been preserving their beauty and youth using medicinal plants: oils, juices, infusions and extracts of fruits, grasses, berries or nuts. Honey, milk, sour cream, eggs, beeswax and animal fats were widely used for skin care purposes. It is possible to use these recipes within home conditions to prepare creams, ointments, lotions and masks that can improve the health of your skin.
