Natural Skincare Methods


Caring for your Skin 



It is very important to take pride in your skin. It is vital to consider what we apply topically, as it is absorbed by the skin and enters the bloodstream. 

Most creams are created to have a long shelf life. This means they are often full of harmful preservatives, parabens and other toxins that can do long term damage.
Here are a few examples of how you can look after your skin effectively: 

Drink more water
Staying hydrated keeps your skin healthy, moisturised and radiant. 

Get to know your skin type
Getting to know your skin type will help you understand what products and ingredients it needs.

Cleansing 
Cleansing your skin when you wake up and before bed is important as it helps to remove any impurities and bacteria from the surface of your skin. 

Use natural products
Natural products are skin friendly and have beneficial properties, that are healthier and much safer to use. 

Routine
   Start to develop a morning and evening skin care regime as this is a great way to address your skin concerns and maintain healthy looking skin. 

Research
In order to avoid using toxic chemicals, do your research and try to purchase products from companies that care about what they are providing. In addition, look at the ingredients so that you can consciously become more aware of what you are putting onto your skin.

Aromatherapy Oils

Aromatherapy has been practised for thousands of years and has continued to serve us in a variety of ways. The oils are used in medicines, cosmetics, recipes, rituals and spas frequently for their aroma, medicinal, ceremonial and therapeutic benefits. Most recently, essential oils have been used in hospitals as clinical complimentary treatments in patient care. This is a positive sign that shows how marrying modern medicines and holistic services together can greatly help with improving well being.  Emotions Our emotions vary and the feelings we experience can unsettle us at times. Essential oils are useful as we can implement them daily to help us with our emotions. There are oils that help to relax, de-stress, boost mood, and stimulate our senses. One of my go-to oils is Frankincense which serves to help with a number of areas.

The Gift of Nature

Nature never ceases to amaze me. It offers us a wealth of information; recipes, health benefits, beauty aids etc. There is plenty to learn and appreciate about the gifts of nature. Symbolic Ties  We can personalise seasonal patterns and behaviours by reflecting upon natures symbolic meanings to find comfort from our own perspectives. For example, when you face difficulty it may seem unbearable, but once you take a moment to look outside of yourself, nature proves that things can get better with time and rebirth is often essential. I believe that the same way nature adapts against the odds, we too can do the same. It also amazes me, how cultures relate to nature symbolically. With Feng Shui, for instance, flowers are thought to hold energy and protect. In Florology, however, flowers express messages between people. The Gift Of Aromatherapy  The oils are extracted through different methods to produce precious oils. These gifts are called essential oils

Treat Yourself To Some Time Alone

When I think about coziness, I think about being warm and comfortable. I picture myself centering into tranquility in the comfort of my home. I usually try and make Sunday my lazy day where I let go of any sense of guilt towards not being productive.  To me, it is simply my day to relax, slow down and refuel my energy. Don't get me wrong, I still potter around doing some light tidying or cooking, but it is all done with minimal stress. Setting The Ambience Creating a nice mood helps you feel a sense of harmony within your living environment and allows you to truly feel relaxed and be at ease at home. It is supposed to be your safe zone and the ultimate place to retreat from the outside world. This means you should be conscious about looking after your home so that you can work towards making your space as inviting and comfortable for yourself as possible.
