Natural Beauty Blog & Tips — Women Skin Care

It's a sad fact of life that many people's skin loses radiance and luster as it ages. From skin cells that can't hold moisture as well as when they were younger, to microscopic cracks that disturb the smooth surface of skin, many changes combine to disrupt the smooth, soft skin of days gone by. As the years go by, skin's elastin loses its firmness, resulting in wrinkles and sagging skin that can add to dull-looking skin.

Stretch marks are unpleasant souvenirs of past experiences. Although the event that caused the marks may have been good, the indented red or purple marks left behind on the skin are an unwanted part of the event. Stretch marks don't always look the same. After some time, the bright marks fade to a light pink, gray or white, but they don't typically go away completely on their own.

Keeping skin healthy can be a tricky proposition. Some seasons and activities make skin prone to dryness, while others can make it oily and prone to breakouts. Americans spend billions of dollars on skin creams that promise to clear up acne, moisturize, and even prevent skin from aging, but most of them don't work or contain harmful chemicals.

Chances are, the older you get, the more you want to turn back the hands of time where your appearance is concerned. Does anyone really want to deal with wrinkled, sagging, splotchy skin if they have an alternative? Is anyone not bothered by progressively drying skin on hands, feet, and other areas?

Stretch marks happen when skin is stretched beyond the limits of its elasticity. The red or dark marks you see are tears in the skin. Stretch marks naturally fade with time, but they never go away completely. Coconut oil is an inexpensive product that can help heal and fade stretch marks until they are no longer noticeable.

Even though people think of acne as an adolescent problem, it is an unfortunate fact that many adults continue to deal with breakouts long past their teen years. There are many beauty products on the market today that claim to help banish those breakouts, but the best treatment may be something more typically found in the kitchen than the beauty aisle.

When it comes to a beauty regimen, few products are as simple, yet as effective as coconut oil. Coconut oil has benefits whether used as a cleanser, moisturizer, makeup remover, or even as a sunscreen. Paired with salt or sugar, it makes a great body scrub to exfoliate skin without drying as well. And coconut oil isn't just inexpensive and easy to use, it is full of nutrients that offer great benefits to skin.

Imagine taking a drink from a cold glass of water on a hot summer day. It's so refreshing you can practically feel it travel throughout the body as it rehydrates cells. Now imagine giving your skin that same feeling.
