A Guide To Herbal Skin Care 2009, 2010

If you are looking for a way to save money but also keep your skin looking beautiful at the same time then you need to look at the idea of herbal skin care. There are many things that you can use to make a wonderful moisturizer and other things from the ingredients that you may have just lying around in your kitchen and these things could help to save you a few pennies while allowing you to have glowing and fresh skin.
Tee tree oil is just one of the things that you can use in a herbal skin care regime and although you might not have this in your home, the oil and the products that contain it can be bought for fairly cheap. Essential oils can be used for this but you must check that the oils that you are using are suitable for skin use to prevent any mishaps. Tea tree oil has many properties including antiseptic and is also good for combating acne.
If you have a small herb garden or are thinking of starting one then you should start growing mint and basil. Both of these things taste wonderful in food but also have great skin care properties; both of them are very calming on the skin and have a slight zing which can refresh the skin especially when used in the morning. If you have trouble with pimples or spots, the juice of these plants can be added to the pimple undiluted and can help to reduce redness and you can combine the juice with a plain, un-perfumed moisturizer to be used both day and night.
Although mixing various herbs and plants is great for the skin, you must make sure that you are combining the right ones to prevent any problems with the skin.
