By sakuragicho

Fruits and vegetables, such as cucumbers, have become popular for treating your skin organically.

Other useful vegetables and fruits in an organic skin care regime include apple, ginger, papaya and turmeric. Science has shown that a combination of these organic ingredients can moisturize and revitalize ailing skin.

Almost every skin care guide has section on organic skin care, including the actions of various fruits and vegetables on skin. So choose the ones that are more suitable for your skin type and start experimenting with them until you finally select the ones that are most suitable for inclusion in your organic skin care routine.

If you find that going organic is right for you, be sure to use only fresh vegetables and fruits for your regime. After all, using old and dried out fruits and vegetables will ruin the ultimate effect you are trying to achieve. Another ingredient of organic skin care to consider is milk. Milk is considered an excellent cleanser. Milk, when combined with ground oatmeal, is not only effective in cleansing the skin, but moisturizing it as well.

Ground oatmeal is especially good for oily skins and is a popular ingredient in organic skin care regimen. It is used in various combinations e.g. with egg, honey, milk and fruits, for preparation of organic facial packs.

Wheat germ is another ingredient in organic skin care procedures. It is rich in vitamin E and is known for its exfoliation as well as moisturizing properties.

Like ground oatmeal, wheat germ is often added with other organic matter to create facial packs for those with normal to dry skin. In addition, wheat germ oil, a by product of wheat germ, is also used as a binding ingredient of organic skin treatments. Other organic products that are excellent for removing dead skin cells and moisturizing the skin are sour cream and yogurt.

Organic honey is well known for its effectiveness when it comes to an organic skin care regime. Honey contains natural properties that aid in moisture retention. In addition, using honey adds a healthy glow to your skins appearance. Substitute rose or lavender water for synthetic skin toners. - 15366
