Goat Milk Soap

Goat Milk soap is a great skin cleanser. Use it daily on your entire body including your face. You can find it at most beauty product stores or you can purchase it online.

⦁Wet face with warm water. Place a small amount of honey in your hands (usually less than a teaspoon is plenty) and rub your hands together.

⦁ Massage in to skin in a circular motion to get all areas of the skin. If you want, you can leave it on for 5-10 minutes for deep pore cleansing. Wash off with warm water and pat dry!

Yep, you read it right! Yogurt is a great cleanser and moisturizer for your skin. You might find its odor too strong…I did when I first used it. But once you feel how smooth and clean your skin gets, you will get over the smell.

Place a tablespoon full of yogurt in your palm and with the fingers of the other hand, gently massage the yogurt onto your face and neck in circular motion.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is full of antioxidants and healthy fatty acids. You can use it both as a moisturizer and a facewash…

⦁Apply olive oil all over your body, especially on skin with dry patches, half an hour before taking a shower. After the shower, apply coconut oil or glycerin as the regular moisturizer.

• Pour one cup of plain oatmeal into your bathtub filled with warm water. Add a few drops of lavender oil. Soak in the bath water for 15 to 30 minutes. Enjoy this soothing bath once a week.
• Make a face mask by mixing one mashed ripe banana with one cup of ground oatmeal and then adding a little bit of lukewarm milk. Apply this smooth mixture on your dry skin and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse it off with cold water. Use this face mask once a week.

How to care for it…

Sensitive skin needs to be healed and should be treated very gently. It should not be scrubbed or exfoliated, rather washed with very mild soaps like goat milk soap, castile soap, oatmeal, and avocado mask as discussed in dry skin care.

Aloe Vera gel is very effective in healing all skin types and is especially soothing for sensitive skin. Grow your own plant or buy a leaf, remove the gel from inside, and store it in a container in the refrigerator. Apply every time you wash your face or your skin feels irritated!

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a wonderful daily skin moisturizer, including your face. If you do not like the smell of coconut, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil in your bottle of oil. This oil will keep your skin smooth, strong, healthy, and glowing!

Almond Oil

Almond oil is a deep moisturizer so it is very effective for dry and irritated skin, even though it is great for all skin types. Almond oil keeps the skin smooth and glowing, soothes skin irritation and inflamation, and improves the complexion.

It is very effective for eczema and psoriasis. It helps remove dark patches from the skin, including dark circles under the eyes. It removes impurities and dead skin cells so it is a great moisturizer to apply at night before going to sleep.

Argan oil is often called ‘liquid gold’, that is how precious it is! Argan is a fruit that grows in Morocco. Inside the fruit there is a nut, from which the oil is extracted. Argan oil is loaded with Vitamin A and E…the two secrets of gorgeous skin. It absorbs quickly and does not leave a residue which makes it a perfect moisturizer to use before leaving the house.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is great for all skin types. It heals dry, irritated skin; firms the skin and tones it; and softens rougher and drier skin areas like the knees and elbows. It is a great night moisturizer for those who have extremely dry skin. It is also a very effective and safe make-up remover.
