Every woman dreams of radiant, smooth and firm skin without wrinkles and cosmetic imperfections. Unfortunately, with age and daily environmental influences various problems begin to appear – from redness and eczema to clogged pores, acne or dark circles under the eyes. And it is at this moment that the endless battle for beautiful skin begins.
The problem with conventional cosmetic products
One of the main problems of most cosmetic products is their content of harmful chemicals. These substances may improve the appearance of the skin in the short term, but at the same time they bring long-term problems. It often happens that they mask one problem only to cause another.
You have surely noticed that some former celebrities who used cosmetics excessively look much worse for their age than they should. Excessive use of chemical products often leads to skin damage that later appears in the form of premature wrinkles, sagging skin or other skin problems.
Cosmetic products are also often very expensive, which means an additional strain on the household budget. But what if we told you that there is a cheap, simple and natural alternative?
Skincare with minimal ingredients
You don’t need expensive products full of chemicals for beautiful skin. You only need two commonly available ingredients that properly hydrate the skin, nourish it and at the same time keep it healthy and clean. Thanks to this care your skin will be radiant, firm and soft, with minimal wrinkles appropriate to your age.
What will you need?
For this simple skincare you will need the following ingredients:
- Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
- Coconut oil
Baking soda, which you can find in any supermarket, helps maintain the skin’s proper pH and prevents the growth of harmful bacteria. It also has excellent cleansing effects, helps treat acne, rashes and relieves sunburn. Overall it improves the appearance of the skin.
Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer. It softens the skin, cleanses pores and acts against inflammation in acne or eczema. Coconut oil is now readily available in most stores.
How to do it?
-
Mix the ingredients: Take 2 parts coconut oil and 1 part baking soda. If the coconut oil is solid, warm it in a glass bowl by briefly dipping it into warm water so it melts. The amount of the mixture depends on how large an area of the body you want to treat. For the face, about 2 teaspoons of coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of baking soda is enough.
-
Prepare the skin: Rinse the skin with a gentle soap and lukewarm water, then dry it with a towel.
-
Apply the mixture: Apply the mixture to the face and leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes. Avoid the area around the eyes, where the baking soda could cause slight irritation.
-
Massage the skin: While the mixture is on, gently massage the skin. The coconut oil will be better absorbed into the skin and the baking soda will remove dead cells.
-
Rinse: After the time has passed, wash the mixture off with lukewarm water and a gentle soap. Finally, rinse the skin with clean water and dry.
Conclusion
Repeat this procedure about 3 times a week. After a short time you will notice that your skin becomes softer, firmer, more hydrated and free of redness or other imperfections. In addition, wrinkles will be less visible and the skin will look fresh and youthful.
Try this simple and inexpensive way of skincare and see for yourself how effective natural cosmetics can be.
