By sakuragicho

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

Using organically grown fruits and vegetables such as ginger, apple and papaya, have proven to have positive skin care results. They have proven most effective when it comes to repairing damaged skin and moisturizing dry 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.

Another organic element to consider for your skin care regime is wheat germ. Because it is blessed with high amounts of vitamin E, it can aid in moisturizing the skin and help to remove dead skin cells.

In addition to oatmeal, wheat germ, and it's by product, wheat germ oil, are often ingredients found in organic skin treatments used to moisturize and exfoliate facial skin. Other organic sources for removing dead skin cells and helping the skin to retain its moisture are yogurt and sour cream.

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. - 15252
