Perfectly smooth and soft skin has been sought through the ages. Ancient Egyptian queens sought the most exotic of tonics to indulge their cravings for flawless, smooth skin. Acquiring smooth skin is not a mystery, but simply a system that requires consistency, clean ingredients and time. Recent skin care developments have made this dream of smooth skin easy to realize and affordable to sustain over your lifetime. With balms and creams infused with natural botanical infusions, perfectly smooth skin can be realized in only a few short weeks.
Step 1
Cleanse the skin both in the morning and in the evening with a pH-balanced cream cleanser full of anti-inflammatory ingredients such as oats, white willow bark, witch hazel and tea tree oil. The skin interacts with harmful toxins and damaging elements throughout the day and must be thoroughly cleansed.
Step 2
Pat the skin dry with an organic cotton towel, then apply a gentle exfoliating scrub such as wheat germ, mineral salt or a prepared mixture from a store that incorporates healing botanicals, suggests staff with PioneerThinking.com. The skin can collect dead cells, which will prevent smooth skin if left unattended. Exfoliate the skin two to three times per week.
Step 3
Mix organic whole milk with organic honey to create a pasty texture, then apply the paste to the skin. Allow the mask to rest on the skin for 20 minutes. Rinse the mask off when finished, in lukewarm water, then pat dry. You can continue this mask treatment as often as you would like to experience perfectly smooth skin. Honey promotes natural moisture retention, and the abundant nutrient profile of whole milk infiltrates the skin to nourish it.
Step 4
Moisturize the skin with natural, pH-balanced moisturizers that utilize antioxidants such as DMAE, alpha lipoic acid, ester-C and/or reservatrol. These antioxidant powerhouses stimulate circulation, destroy oxidative damage and promote smooth skin development.
Step 5
Apply almond oil, jojoba oil or apricot oil to the skin after you shower, once or twice per week. These oils are very healing and nourishing to the skin, and create a radiant complexion when used consistently. These oils are very close in composition to the natural oils of the skin, and complement the skin's natural cycles of cell turnover and regeneration, suggests staff with Ageless.co.za.
