Achieving and maintain beautiful skin can seem confusing, especially when there are so many different types of over-the-counter skin care products that are touted to give you a radiant skin tone. Luckily, by washing the skin gently, toning the skin to allow the skin cells to turn over more quickly, and keeping the skin properly hydrated, the skin can maintain beautiful tone and texture. The skin will become smoother, clearer and more radiant as a result.
Step 1
Cleanse the skin properly using a natural soap that does not contain artificial fragrances, dyes or oils. Wet the skin thoroughly with warm water, then lather up your hands with a natural soap. Spread the lather onto the skin, avoiding rubbing the lather in too aggressively. Rinse off the skin well with water, and repeat up to two times per day.
Step 2
Tone the skin naturally using lemon juice, which is high in vitamin C and can increase the rate at which the skin turns over. Fill an empty spray bottle with concentrated lemon juice, and spray the skin liberally with the juice after the skin has been cleansed. The skin can either be rinsed off after 10 minutes, or allowed to dry naturally. Repeat up to two times per day.
Step 3
Moisturize the skin regularly using an oil-free facial moisturizer. Squeeze a dime-sized amount of an oil-free moisturizing lotion onto your fingers, and gently apply the lotion to your skin. Use your fingers to spread the moisturizing lotion around until it has been absorbed into the skin. Avoid rubbing the lotion in. Repeat up to two times per day after toning the skin.
Tips and Warnings
- Natural soaps are created with basic ingredients, such as olive oil, coconut oil and beeswax, and do not contain artificial, chemical ingredients that could irritate the skin, such as mineral oil, petroleum or sodium lauryl sulfate. Vitamin C increases skin cell turnover, which speeds up the rate at which the dead skin cells are sloughed off of the skin, while new skin cells are encouraged to develop. When the skin cells turnover more frequently, it allows the complexion to become more radiant and clear. Using an oil-free moisturizing lotion keeps the skin soft and supple, without causing the pores to become clogged with comedogenic oils.
